For most of my professional career I had to get up at or around 3AM. More than 20 years. (Broadcasting). Since I left that profession, as much as I see the benefits of being an early morning person, it just repulses me to get up before sunrise.

Not possible. There is too little thinking these days especially in the areas of Critical Thinking, Strategic Thinking, and Systems Thinking. I wrote some material on this for the book. More convinced than ever. #GoalChat
