| The Inspiring Productivity Secrets of Morning People Posted: 02 Jun 2022 05:02 AM PDT "I like getting up when it's still dark to get on my side hustle: stealing hubcaps off cars, then trying to resell them later that day to the original owners at vastly inflated prices. It's not the most profitable venture. In fact, so far court and medical costs have dwarfed any sales I've made. But what can I say? I love being an entrepreneur and pursuing new revenue streams!" Lindsay, wakes up at 5:30 AM. "Rise and grind, baby! And by that, I mean use an angle grinder to try and remove my court-mandated tracking bracelet. Then I can escape and do what I love most in the world: impersonating a town councilor and telling people that, by order of the local council, they now have to live in the sewers down by the creek." Mike, wakes up a 6:00 AM. “As an entrepreneur, morning is really a chance to start hustling and think of new business ideas. Unfortunately, I don't believe in drinking caffeine, so I'm still mostly asleep while brainstorming. This means that everything's just half-thoughts written in my Notes app. Stuff like, ‘Make Spotify but for cars' and ‘Trick Mr. T into starting a business together.'” Simon, wakes up at 5:45 AM. "By listening to Elon Musk's audiobooks. I downloaded a copy off a torrent site to save money #grindersmindset. But it means the audio is terrible quality and random chapters are in German. But I still think I get the gist of what he's saying." Nelson, wakes up a 6:59 AM. "Getting a morning kick-start is essential to putting you ahead of the rat-racers. That's why I wake by taking too many off-brand imported Modafinils, beginning to hallucinate and scratching what I believe to be the face of God onto the kitchen table. My wife hates me for it, but that's the cost of getting ahead!" Mike, awakens up a 6:00 AM. "The first thing I do when I wake up is jump under a cold shower. Not because it makes me tougher. It's because I don't have hot water. I don't believe in paying for electricity. In fact, I don't believe in paying for anything that you can't see. Why would I shell out good money for something that I can't hold in my hands?" Pauline, wakes up at 6:30 AM. "I disrobe and quietly meditate in a dark room. While doing so, I reach a new plane of intelligence, experience ego death, and exist as a divine being of infinite compassion with a connection to all living things. Then I shower and go to my job as a junior marketing coordinator for a regional vacuum cleaner company." Natasha, wakes up a 6:15 AM. "Being up 90 minutes before my family gives me the time I need to tinker with the time machine that I'm building in the garage. My mission: sneak into the 1999 X-Games and break Tony Hawk's legs, preventing him from performing the world's first 900 and rising to fame. Why? Because a man that I'm 73% sure was him once left me a 27-cent tip on a $142 meal when I worked as a waitress.” Marcy, gets up at 4:30 AM. "I'm pretty sure my wife has been poisoning my meals for several months. The only way I can be sure that my food is safe is by eating before she gets up. So each morning, I sneak out of the bedroom and quietly make and devour an entire deep-dish pizza. That gives me the sustenance for the whole day, and my wife is none the wiser. It's a win-win." Wayne, gets up at 5:30 AM. "A great way to build mental resilience is to start the day with the hardest thing on your to-do list. For me, that means imagining I have to fight a super-smart chimpanzee that has a knife and thinks I killed its parents. I spend hours plotting my every move. I analyse weak points. I plan counterattacks. I kick its face in until it's a bunch of mush. The whole process is intense and terrifying. But I have to be prepared." Jason, gets up at 6:00 am. |

| How to Know He’s the One, The Chosen One, That Is Posted: 01 Jun 2022 05:00 AM PDT There are plenty of fish in the sea, but most need to be thrown back. You are strong and independent. and should never be forced to settle. Good isn't good enough. Great is just ok. What you're really looking for, is the one. The one who inspires you to be your best self. The one who makes you feel comfortable in your own skin. The one who can finally vanquish the Dark Lord and restore the kingdoms of man. Here are a few questions you can ask yourself to find out if he's a keeper, or just some other fish. Does he have a mentor?A strong role model in a man's life can really help him learn how to be responsible and how to listen. When starting your courtship with a prospective man, find out who their mentors are. Perhaps it's a wizened old monk, a wizard who speaks mostly in riddles, or a rich reclusive uncle. All of these are huge green flags. A good rule of thumb is that if the mentor is over the age of sixty and spends most of their day wearing robes, then you are dealing with an absolute keeper. A note of caution: some have asked me if a father can count as a mentor. The answer is yes, but only if they are dead, and their dying words were so impactful that repeat in your partner's mind whenever they are faced with a substantial decision. If this is not the case and your man's father is still alive, then at some point the two will have to face off in single combat. What's his relationship with jewelry?Jewelry being only for women is a thing of the past. More and more nowadays, men are wearing earrings, bracelets, and other accessories. Not only do these accessories prove that your man is fashion-forward, but there is also the possibility that your man is carrying some ancient artifact passed down for generations. Is that really an earring your boy toy is wearing, or is it the final piece of the puzzle the Dark Lord needs to plunge the world into darkness, that he is solemnly protecting just as his ancestors did before him? Is that weirdo on the street wearing a pocket watch like he's some sort of theater kid/newsie hybrid, or is he carrying a compass with the clues to finding Atlantis locked inside? Is that man in the grocery store married, or is he wearing that ring because, until he destroys the accursed thing, it is his responsibility, and he won't damn the world by letting it slip out of his grasp? You will likely never get a straight answer to any of these questions, for your own safety of course, but isn't it the mystery that keeps a relationship exciting? How reluctant is he to do things?The last thing you want is a guy who is too eager. In fact, he shouldn't be eager to do anything. A good green flag to look for is if he drones on, all the time, about wanting a normal life. Basically, you want a guy who would rather be a fry cook at a fast-food restaurant than a superhero. As a rule of thumb, only the exceptional want to be normal. It should be a hassle to get him to do anything. He can't possibly be the guy you deserve if he is just going to give in to the very first call to adventure. Does he have enemies?It's been said that the only people who don't have enemies are the ones with no convictions. Men with real beliefs and passion will stand up for their principles and that's bound to rustle some feathers. If a man has enemies, that's how you know he has convictions and that he stands for something; both of which are non-negotiable in the perfect guy. So, if having some enemies is good, having a ton must be even better. Do mysterious strangers grill you about his whereabouts? Every time you go out, are you running into angry goons? Is he being hunted, or even better, haunted? Most importantly, does he have a nemesis who will try to kidnap you to get to him Sure, there are guys out there who will claim they will protect you, but the chosen one will need to because of all his enemies. With these questions in mind, you should be set to judge whether or not you are with the right guy. You deserve a kind of love that is straight out of the storybooks. If you do find the chosen one, be careful. Side effects of such relationships include: being killed off for character development, being the object of desire in a tense love triangle, and in one very rare case, finding out the chosen one is actually your long-lost sibling. Good luck.
