This is my new job — I’ve been working here since mid-April, so it’s almost two months now. My working hours are from 6 AM to 4 PM.

Honestly, I’ve been feeling really tired. I usually stay up at night playing on my phone until around 10 PM or 11 PM , and sometimes I don’t even shower until midnight. But I have to wake up at 4:50 AM, so I don’t get enough sleep.

I noticed that if I eat dinner at 7 or 8 PM, I end up sleeping and showering even later. So now I always try to eat at 6 PM. I only realised this after working for about 3 weeks.

Sometimes I feel like I want to escape from reality. This job feels quite different compared to my previous one — there's less space, and more stuff everywhere. It’s not like the servicing job I used to do.

At night, I go on dating apps and chat with people. But every morning when my alarm rings, I regret staying up late.

I feel super tired and always ask myself why I didn’t just go to sleep earlier.





QUOTE
I especially feel nervous on Sundays,

because Friday night and Saturday are so relaxing (NO need OT also)


On Friday, I sleep late around 1 a.m. and wake up late the next morning.


Even my shower and dinner times are delayed.(not like Mon - Fri)

All of this affects my Monday — I feel tired and it's hard to focus on work.




Why I sleep at 11pm or 12am

Same thing happened today…

The 5 AM Club: What Is It And Should You Join?


Waking up at 5 am may seem like a nightmare, but for a growing number, it's the route to a fulfilled life.


Based on a book of the same name, the 5 am club is all about rising early to concentrate on your life goals before the rest of the world wakes up.

This new trend became popular in 2018 when the club’s ‘President’, Robin Sharma, released his book titled ‘


user posted image

The 5 am Club: Own Your Morning. Elevate Your Life’.
《早晨5点起床俱乐部:掌控清晨,成就人生》

It’s since become an international bestseller and the concept has become a bit of an online sensation too.

Now, members are soaring. Influencers sing the club’s praises. Life coaches share Sharma’s motivational quotes.


Social platforms are awash with the #5amclub hashtag.
So, given its popularity, it may be time to consider your own 5 am club application.



On my first morning, I got all the wisdom found in Sharma’s book and felt ready to apply it to my own life.

Here are three key ideas I learned from Blinkist’s explainer of The 5 AM Club.

1. You Need to Protect Your Limited Mental Capacity
We all have a limited mental capacity or cognitive bandwidth. And this can easily be taken up with work responsibilities, childcare duties, social media notifications, and all the errands we need to run.

We may have the best intentions to work out or read a chapter of a personal development book each day, but before we know it, our to-do lists have taken over and our cognitive bandwidth has been used up.

Getting up at 5 A.M., and focusing on the things that matter to us first thing without any distractions, stops this from happening.

早上5点起床,先专注于对我们最重要的事情,避免任何干扰,能够有效避免这种情况的发生。

2.


Use Day Stacking to Improve One Skill by 1% Each Day
One hour a day doesn’t sound like much when you want to improve a skill, especially when you only spend 20 minutes of that hour reading and learning.


But Sharma argues that a small amount of daily progress can add up.

This is what he calls “day stacking.”

If you aim to improve a skill by just 1% each day, over a year, these days will stack up and you’ll have improved by more than 300%.

“All change is hard at first, messy in the middle, and gorgeous at the end.”

使用“日积月累”法每天提高1%的技能

每天一小时看似不多,尤其是当你在这其中只花20分钟进行阅读和学习时,似乎不足以提升技能。

但Sharma认为,每天的小进步会积累起来。

这就是他所说的“日积月累”。

如果你每天只提高1%的技能,一年下来,这些天数会积累成一个巨大变化,你的技能提升将超过300%。

“所有的改变开始时都很困难,中间有些混乱,但最终会变得非常美好。”

Robin S. Sharma.


3. Follow the 20/20/20 Rule

Waking up at 5 A.M. alone won’t transform your life. After all, you could just wake up and spend the extra time on social media or watching T.V. The 20/20/20 rule is what makes Sharma’s morning routine so powerful.

Sharma says you should spend 20 minutes on vigorous exercise, 20 minutes on reflection by meditating and journaling, and 20 minutes on growth by reading and learning.

Sharma提到,您应该花20分钟进行剧烈运动,
20分钟进行冥想和写日记反思,
另外再花20分钟通过阅读和学习来成长。

He recommends this order, but, of course, you can customize the routine to suit your life and goals. The point is you get up early and spend an hour bettering yourself each day.


Take excellent care of the front end of your day, and the rest of your day will pretty much take care of itself.

Own your morning.

Elevate your life.


At the top level, the benefits include **** a reduction of stress***** in the morning,
******improved sleep quality****, and an
****overall happier mood.*****

It is about your regular routine that carried forward.

I also sleep around 11:00 ~ 11:30 pm but wake up at 4:00am every morning, even during weekend. Even though alarm is set at 4am, I usually wake up before the alarm. I do not start work at 6am but around 6:40am I'm already out to work. Work finish at 5:45pm.

My previous work need to wake up 6.45am

And I was very unhappy with that. Everyday wake up feels not enough sleep.

Then I got a better job due to salary huge leap.

This current job I can wake up at 7.30am. I initially thought hell yeah I finally can have enough sleep.

Slowly, still the same. Because it ends up having feeling "I don't have to wake up early anymore so I can sleep late a bit"

So I sleep not enough in the end lol
