My secret hope about getting up early is that I will eventually become someone that works on their projects early in the morning, before kid stuff and work.
If I had that schedule, I'd:
- Feel less anxious during the day because I'd have gotten something done right away.
- Sleep better because I wouldn't be programming after the guy goes to bed.
I have attempted this in various forms for several years, though, even before having a kid, and have always failed, though.
