Here too. Pray and be THANKFUL you were on the wake up list. Have to work out in the morning, my tank gets too low in the afternoon at 62. Stretching as you age is SO important. I have stretched every morning for 42 years now. I walk straight and strong while many much younger are all slumped over and shuffling already, some in their 40's only.

I don't lol. I've been doing it every day for like the last 10 - 15 years ^_^. The only time I enjoy being up before the world is if I'm hunting, going hunting or something having to do with the woods. Waking up at 4:00 for work has been old ^_^.

I wake up at 0310. I drink a glass of water and eat a small breakfast. I drive to the gym and get there just before 0400. Workout untill 0500 and drive back home. 0515 untill 0600 is for me to get dressed and drink coffee. I wake up the family at 0600 and once everyone is out of bed I leave for work. I get to work about 30 minutes early because it allows me to slowly roll into the task that I have to do before the team gets there and needs my attention. At the end of the day, the wife and myself spend from 2200-2230 or so talking in bed before we end the night. If I don't have a full planned out day, I dont sleep well.

I'm from Germany and work as a construction worker. I normally leave for work around 5:30 and work for 10 to 12 hours. Its hard to organize, but i still find time to do strentgh training for myself, take time for the family. Also i am into politics ans enjoy working on our cars or do woodworking. As i mentioned, its a hard thing do organize and sometimes 24 hours isnt quite enough time, but when you manage your time, its possible and it feels awesome to fullfill the day, rather than hanging around after working, like so many guys do. Hope you unterstand :)

Strength is good for many construction jobs but don't forget flexibility if you want to stay healthy in the long run. Construction work has ruined a lot of men with heavy lifting and repetitive stress. For me construction took it's toll to the point that I can't lift a bag of groceries without pain. Still, there was nothing to compare with the creative side, the problem solving and the accomplishments involved that made me want to get on that job. Of course there was more than enough dread work like roofing.

Thanks for the video! Matthew 4:4 ESV But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’" Hebrews 4:12 ESV For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

I always got up at 4:30 am to be out the door by 5:30 am for work. Now that I can work from home I get up at 5:15 am to get out the door for a 2 hour calasthenics workout. Been doing that since June 1st and lost 20 pounds.

Kneel, sign of the cross, the creed and the prayers. Perfect start to my day

God's rules, gold rules. Thank you bro! Greetings from Ireland

Prayer works for me. Start with prayer. Grateful that you woke up. Then looking outside into nature. Then water.

Sounds like a section out of "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People." 1. Begin with the end in mind 2. What gets measured gets accomplished 3. Read the same good book 20 times before reading 20 good books. If you don't have an agenda for your day how do you know if you had a productive day? How do you know if you are moving the needle?

The #1 cause of dehydration is aspiration. We aspirate in our sleep. Think about sleeping in an unventilated one person tent. When you wake up, all that water in the inside of your tent and all over your gear...is water that left your body from aspiration. Drink water first thing. You need it.

I honestly thought you meant aspiration caused perspiration. It makes sense, too - when you aspire to something, you need to exert to reach it, and exertion leads to sweating. I used to sweat in my sleep. A lot. Would sometimes wake up with my pillow and sheets completely soaked. Turns out my bedroom was just too warm. Open a window, sleep with a thinner blanket, ditch the pyjamas, and now it's all much better.

One of the things I enjoyed when I was growing up, and probably my favorite, was riding bicycle along with my friends or just by myself. Its one of the things that made me happy and also what I looked forward to when I would get home from school. So every morning before work and weekends I ride my bike 5 miles. What better way to start the day doing something ive loved all my life.

Looove the point about the family meeting👍🏻. So important with a family of 5 so everyone is staying on task and seeing it through. Also the proper planning you mentioned is huge . Putting pen to paper on stuff or keeping notes on the phone

For me, my morning starts with two separate alarms. One at 5 AM, the other at 5:30AM. The first alarm is a soft tone meant to slowly pull me out of a deep sleep because I’m a heavy sleeper, and I allow myself at least one snooze push. The 5:30 alarm is loud and obnoxious, and non-snoozable. After I’m up, I shave while brewing a coffee. Then as I drink the coffee, I’m into my NKJV Bible to see what lessons/encouragement my Lord Jesus wants me to know, followed by prayer and gratitude.

I like fitness/training for half ironman. I started recently waking up at 450am get my water/ workout done. Go to work and after work, I eat and might check KZread other than that I go directly to bed. Get that 7-9 hours of good sleep. I noticed theres more clarity and im not sore .. instead of getting off work and get my work outs done. I go hard and find myself stying up late... there has to be science to getting to bed early and up early as far as, testosterone, cortisol levels, recovery etc

Waking up early and prioritizing. Love it. Theres a great saying about the 'rat race': "Meditate for ten minutes every day. Unless you're too busy, in which case meditate for twenty."

I've been pretty lazy lately, but I'll still share what my ideal morning/evening routine used to be and what I want to return to. 0400 - wake up, get up, pray, get ready for day 0430 - make breakfast, eat breakfast, read Bible, pray, wash dishes 0515 - go to work, exercise, shower, get ready for work 0730 - work, lunch 1630 - to-do list (college, study, church on Sunday, small tasks, house work, yard work, truck work, etc.) 1915 - go home for evening, make to-do list for next day, make lunch for next day, unwind 2000 - get ready for bed, go to bed, pray, go to sleep

Excellent video with even better advice. Thank you!

The thing I’ve realized about waking up early is that if you wake up early you can do what you need to get done, workout, hobbies, cleaning, reading, craftsmanship, etc you can get them worked on before the day goes on an you have other tasks added to the list we other it be family or work related. Than at the end of the day you don’t need to work on the projects because you’ve done them in the morning,

Your an awesome guy, Great to see men are still standing strong in the era of the grand feminisation/decline of man.

Thank you, my life has changed ever since i tried your strategy.

Readings: Scripture is great, I agree. If you're not into Scripture, try the Stoics; Ryan Holiday is a great modern author to get into it; Seneca and Marcus Arelius are my favorites. Neither are modern, and that helps!

For now I just want to say thank you very much in a month I’ll get back to you

Thank you brother Let the words go !!!

Another useful tip. Stop drinking water a couple hours before bed. Prevents you from waking up in the middle of the night to piss. It’ll ruin your sleep.

Also I’m an early bird and love the time I have to myself in the morning to get my life together and plan or run or whatever I need to do to Attack The Day

Strong and solid advice. Thank you brother.

Great list! Adding this video to my favorites. Much respect

*The water tip is super important* The best way to confirm if one is dehydrated is to look at the color of your pee in the bathroom. If it's yellow color you definitely need water. The best is a clear pee without much yellow. Great tips man thanks and blessings from Costa Rica 👍

Amen brother thank you for your dedication you dont know how much your guiding me as young father. have a blessed day🙏

Excellent video, Sir. Been practicing putting my phone on the dresser across the room with an alarm (still need to do that) and get in bed away from the electronics. Helps with temptations to pick up the phone. Keep it up Ryan.

Hi Ryan. Thanks. I liked the idea of studying and enjoying reading while applying the lessons over just swallowing book after book as I have been doing the past 2 years. I will definitely apply it

Seems pretty trivial at first but there is so much more gained by doing the things he said we should do. We don’t even have the comprehension on how some of these things work but they actually do. So much respect for this man’s insight into so many things. Thank you so much Ryan!

First off love this channel just recently started watching.when you spoke of scripture to start your day. It funny how the guide lines of being a man and father are in there and I’m glad you speak freely of faith for you and your family. God bless

This video was much better than I expected. Love the scripture study, absolutely essential. I prefer having a couple hours before the day as well, early job makes that difficult if I’m getting eight hours of sleep though. Great video.

When I try to fight it I can never operate at 100% My best days come when I wake up between 3:30 and 4:30 and run 6-10 miles. That means I go to bed around 8-9pm but that's what my body and mind needs

I’d love it if you did more podcasts regarding the importance of communication in marriages. The few minutes where you spoke about communicating with your wife about going’s on, plans for the day, what needs to get done, end where everyone will be really hit close to home. It’s so important, everything can fall apart and quickly without adequate communication

Solid male advice. When I learned the concept of gratitude, my whole outlook on life changed. Just thankful for everything I have and just for being alive. I had so much more ( materialistically, financially, socially) in my past, but I was always comparing myself to those that had more ( bigger house, nicer vehicle, hotter girlfriend) now I have so much less than before, but I am at peace and happy for once in my life.

Good stuff! I would benefit so much from just planning my day out the night before. I'll start that and also getting up earlier to drink water and stretch,

Thank you, sir! These are great.

Great reminder for all of us! This is good for the Order ;-)

Thank you brother

Thanks for this video Ryan. I do most of what you presented and need to incorporate the others not already being done.

I shave in the morning in the shower. The steam opens up the pores and reduces infected and in grown hair follicles. Also keeps the sink free of stuble that tends to annoy the women-folk. Also frees up the sink for others to use. Even if you shut off the water while you shower you'll enjoy your shave more, shave more often, and feel much cleaner. $10 fogless mirror off Amazon. And it has changed my shaving experience.

Shaving in the shower is good. However I prefer to shave a night before I go to bed. I don’t have a very heavy beard so it works for me.

My work day starts at 5am. I wake up at 4 already. Waking up at 3 would mean going to bed by 8p for 7 hours of sleep. I think there is a tipping point where going to bed too early is just robbing Peter to pay Paul so to speak. Thoughts?

Meditative, exertion, healthy mental clarity and endocrine response. This is fantastic Jeff.

Thanks for sharing this. I found that for me personally, planning works better if I do it at the end of the previous day rather than the beginning of the current one. This way, I get up and I don't have to think about what I need to do. Everything has already been decided.

I am part of a men's group called mkp which is the mankind project. It is not what I would recommend for any man. The order of man is more open to Christianity and the actual way of how a man should act. I have been struggling with myself because of the mkp project. I have stumbled on the order of man by accident and it relates more to me then anything else I have tried and have done. I would seriously consider looking into the order of man if you have no idea what Ryan is talking about. I will continue watching this channel as long as it is around. And I pray that one day I will be half the man Ryan is and hopefully shake his hand for bringing such a wonderful content to this world for men to become actual men.

All great ideas

Good video. Sleep 10 to 4:30 is 6.5 hours of sleep

definitely makes it more difficult to sleep having tv in my room but its difficult when dont have other areas where i can set up consoles etc

My sleep schedule is efficient but not advisable wherein I take 30min. increments to sleep than another 30min. to read and journal all night from 10pm-5:55am than i wake up and start with morning prayers, stretches and a workout. It's worked for the past 2 years and I'm only 17

I dont feel stressed for time in the mornings, as I have no activities. Other than getting ready for work

I love the daily family meeting idea. When did you start doing this? I have a 5, 3, and 1 full of life humans. What's the structure for the 5 minute family meeting?

Brother, I`m loving your KZread channel. Encouraging other men to be men without apology. Thanks.

Actually I've seen searches that show that you shouldn't consume caffeine even 6 hours before bed. So if hypothetically you go to at 11 pm, you shouldn't have a coffee after 5pm.

Where is this guys podcast? Awesome book recommendations from him

Cool man ~

I'm not sure I can really take advantage of early. So I work 4 days for 10 hours a day, I get up around 5:30 to get ready to go to work, I know that if I need 8 hours of sleep that changes the amount of time I have after work . Thus if I want to get up earlier I have to go to bed earlier regardless of whatever I may want to do if I have those items as non variables then that bounds what options I have. I was getting up at 5 but if I want to get out of work at a reasonable time and actually have a day then I don't really have a big gap. I don't know I just feel that a couple hours isn't conducive either, you can stay up later I guess but think the same roadblocks occur.
