Morning habits of unsuccessful people
Posted: Sun Jan 19, 2025 4:19 am
I can't open Flipboard anymore without seeing a text about the 5, 7, or 25 morning and daily habits of successful people. Since I like to do my homework and read everything that comes my way, I read (okay... skim) those texts so diligently that I think I know Tim Cook's morning routine better than Tim Cook.
I wrote about habits that will make you a millionaire . If you're not denmark whatsapp list counting millions and bathing in gold and diamonds, it means you haven't read the text and adopted the habits, so I suggest you do so now. It's always good to learn something new that will enrich your life and in this case, your bank account.
The fact is that most of these articles about successful people are written for several reasons.
Clickbait that will encourage readers to click on the text in the hope of finding something useful even though it is clear to everyone that they will not find anything useful
Publishers focus on keywords, and "success", "tips" and "habits" always rank well and highly (even if you throw in a popular name like Tim Cook or Oprah, you're on a roll).
Writers no longer know what to write about, they have no inspiration, and they have exhausted all topics, just as the film industry has exhausted them. Similarly, writers of business magazines copy from each other in the hope that their version of the text will be the most successful.
What does this mean for us as readers? Nothing special except that we are bombarded with meaningless content that we have no use for. What does this mean for me, who is bombarded with such content? That I can laugh and get an idea for my own version of the text.
The least I want to do is convince people that anything is possible, that they are unsuccessful if they don't have an enviable career or a super successful business of their own, that all you need to do is want it very much and all your dreams will come true, and if you don't succeed in everything you set your mind to... then there's no help for you.
Since less than 1% of people in the world fall into the definition of success as defined by business magazines (perhaps more would fall into it if we included drug cartel bosses and similar businesses, but we won't), that means that we have all been unsuccessful.
Well, if you fall into that category, you're not one of the less than 1%, and you haven't read and adopted my advice and become a millionaire, then you might be interested in the morning habits of averagely unsuccessful or below-averagely successful people that you need to stick to if you want your day to be the same as every other day.

Late dinner, alcohol and even later bedtime
They say that super successful people (those who make up less than 1% of the world's population) wake up between 3am (Tim Cook) and 5am (Anna Wintour). Although it's never written down, that's probably supposed to mean they go to bed before sunset because you can't go to bed at midnight, wake up at 3am and be hyper productive all day making millions. It doesn't work!
So for all of us average people I recommend a nice, late, greasy dinner of McDonald's or pizza, just because it's delicious and I don't think we should deny ourselves anything. After a late dinner, drink whatever makes you happy, for me that's coffee at odd hours of the night because I don't drink alcohol but if you drink it, get fired up. Just in moderation, you still have to wake up in the morning and be unproductive at work.
The ideal way to end the evening is to play computer games or watch TV shows, episode after episode. Go to bed around 3 am, when Tim Cook wakes up.
Press snooze on the alarm 4 times
They say snoozers are losers , but I firmly believe that this only applies to those who hit snooze on their alarm too many times. Since I think anything more than 4 times is too many, then you should stop at 4 times. If you hit snooze more than that, you will feel bad, sleepy, and unproductive like all snoozer losers.
With 4 snoozes, you can still get by and arrive at work at a relatively acceptable time, with a minimum delay of 45 minutes. And that's acceptable. That's like three academic quarters.
