<p><br></p><p>Trying to follow this school of thought might actually be holding you back. </p><p><br></p><p>Society tends to glorify 5 a.m. routines—stories of CEOs waking up at dawn, hitting the gym, meditating, and reading three books before sunrise make it seem like success is reserved for early risers. </p><p><br></p><p>But is that really the case? </p><p><br></p><p>I used to feel guilty for not being that ‘5 a.m. superhero.’ No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t make it work. I thought I was lazy if I wasn’t up at sunrise grinding. But over time, I realized something important—success isn’t about <strong>when</strong> you wake up; it’s about <strong>what you do </strong>with your time when you’re awake. </p><p><br></p><p>Research shows that people have different biological clocks (<strong>chronotypes</strong>). Some of us hit peak performance in the morning, while others do their best work late at night. The issue isn’t <strong>when</strong> you wake up—it’s how much of your day you waste on meaningless scrolling, procrastination, and activities that don’t align with your goals. </p><p><br></p><p>Because the truth is, you can wake up at 5 a.m. and still waste your day. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>The Main Deal: Work With Your Rhythm, Not Against It</strong></p><p><br></p><p>✅ <strong>Find Your Peak Hours</strong></p><p>Track your energy levels for a week.

At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
