Achieving Your Goals
Tomorrow I’m going to start waking up at 4:30 a.m. every day for a month. The goal is, in theory, to become more disciplined in general and do something I’ve always wanted to do but never had the time to see if Type A early risers and old-fashioned grandparents have been right all along: that the key to success is simply to get started before most people can bear.

The idea sounded sort of romantic when I first thought about it. Who doesn’t want to check off some life goals? But now I’m worried that, in practice, this will surely screw up my life, and most likely, my wife’s life and my two daughters’ lives.
When I told my wife I was thinking about taking this assignment, she was skeptical of it and the havoc it portended for our household. She seemed poised to ask me to turn it down, which is why I told her in the first place. But I pointed out that I’m a freelance writer, and taking on weird assignments is part of my job. I was hoping for some personal growth, but by choosing to wake up so early would also help pay the bills.
“Let’s get you an alarm clock,” she said.
That melted my skepticism. Which is not to say I’m looking forward to it. The only legitimate reason I can think of to be out of my bed at 4:30 a.m. is that my bed is on fire. But the truth is I’m also a sucker for writing about new experiences. In pursuit of stories, I’ve climbed mountains, jumped out of an airplane, talked my way into. None of those adventures, however, involved choosing to wake up before any sane human otherwise would.
It seems important to point out the extent to which getting up at 4:30 a.m will change my life. I haven’t had a job that required me to be in the office before 9 a.m. in 17 years. For the past four years, I’ve worked from home, which means I get up whenever I want to, sans alarm clock, usually between 6:30 and 7 a.m. My typical morning routine involves coffee, Bible study, and breakfast, and then playing card games with my kids until I go down to my basement office.
My plan on the eve of this grand adventure is to give up none of that but to spend a few hours beforehand doing well, at the moment I’m not 100 percent sure what.
