Imagine setting an alarm for 4 AM just to have some time for yourself in the morning. I wouldn’t call it wasted time though. I’m typically learning about machine learning or something.

This was my way of making time for my stuff without disturbing my sleep schedule as a parent.

The philosophy basically is: do I want to do it bad enough to wake up early?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I learned a thing or about myself in the process.
