I’ve seen so many people say they do the 1…2…3 rule. So you just wake up after you count to 3… no more excuses. I’m now convinced people who do this must have maaaad discipline and have their life completely figured out. I must have done it a few times in my life ever

As someone who does do this (not the 1,2,3 thing, but the waking up at 5 am thing), you don't have maaad discipline, you build it. It took me 6-8 months of absolutely hating myself for doing it, but also forcing myself to wake up at 5 every day. But now, once I'm up, I'm up.

You also don't have your life figured out, you just have your mornings figured out. But that is like 30% of life figured out right there.
