I've been enjoying these early rises with the new job. There's a certain feeling of accomplishment that I haven't really felt since roughly March 11 2020 when covid started and I started waking up at 8:50 and doing standup in bed on my phone.
Next week I might try and push for a 5:30 wakeup and gym before work. I got less than 5 hours sleep last night but felt basically fine during the day by staying active. I kind of enjoy the monotonous repetition of the job too. It's almost meditative compared to the melancholy of sitting infront of my monitor for 16 hours a day
