LinkedinLunatics

The waiting 90 min for caffeine part is actually based on decent scientific evidence, but it's so damn hard.

Apparently the logic behind is that sleep neurotransmitters take a while to flush out in the morning, but drinking caffeine stops the flushing process and leaves you with leftover ones in your system. So as soon as the coffee wears off, you're way more likely to really crash.

I've tried to implement that habit, but ended up falling asleep at my work desk basically every day 🤷 (Although my doctor also says he's about 80% sure I have Narcolepsy, so that might have something to do with that)

I can do step 1 without waking up, so I would take that extra time to continue connecting with myself while sleeping. Also, caffeine takes 20-30 mins to kick in, so they're actually waiting close to 2 hours to cue themselves into "work mode".

Hey, bud. I can't leave the office after just getting there to go lift weights. I also have zero control over 80% of the meetings I attend. Dude has no idea how privileged he is.

Wake up at 5:30am

Counter offer: go to hell

Tldr guy only works 3 hours a day

"Boosts testosterone". I bet this dude thinks of himself as an alpha male.

People love to shit on linkedinlunatics (myself included) but people who think that you can get up at 11am, never exercise, never structure your day, and spend all day on lemmy and somehow achieve your goals are just as delusional.

This list might seem crazy to some people (some of the advice is hyper specific to this person's specific lifestyle) but literally everything is a good idea on it. You don't become successful at a thing unless you make a plan and structure your day around that priority. Learning how to say no to things is huge. People pleasing is a mental illness. If you have the ability to say no, and you're not at risk of getting fired or letting down someone you care about, if it doesn't serve your goals, you say no to it.

"No meetings before 2pm", "saying no is a superpower" yeah brill mate I'll just say no to my boss multiple times a morning forever and absolutely won't get fired for being difficult thanks Matt xo

wake up at 5.30 so you can be at your top shape by 8 am and earn that yacht for your CEO!

The only thought I'm connecting with at 5:30 in the fucking morning is "I'm so tired, I want to go back to sleep".

I wake up at 5:30 because my arsehole boss insists that I’m at my desk at 7am.

As a result I’m tired all the time and get fuck all done.

"I wake up at 5:30 because I fall asleep at 18:30. Everyone should try to live like this bro"

Imagine a cup of coffee being all you look forward to.

every great accomplishment happens in the mornings if you're only ever awake during the mornings.

I keep reading work as worm.

There is no way that 99% of meetings are a waste of time. Like, many 70%, tops.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

Sounds horrible. Here's mine:

• Stand up when woken up and feeling like it.
• look into my wife's cute face.
• we make food, watch star trek, drink tea
• decide how and where we're gonna spend the day. Gaming? Binging? Pool? Museum? Zoo? Just driving around with no goal? Shopping-tour? Visit some city? Some voluntary work to help those less fortunate? Doing absolutely nothing?
• end the day in peace whenever we feel like it.

Oh yes. No kids, no pets.

That's a psychopath's handwriting.

Cool, I don’t have meetings at my day job and I’m on the phone helping people through my entire day. If I worked for only three hours I might get sacked.

I don’t know who this person is, but I’m not sure they have a job.

I like organization... but I hate routines.
