I've heard all kinds of comments and speculation about my early morning tweets and blog posts. Why do you get up so early, they ask. Simply put, I get up early for two big reasons. First, I have a rested mind full of ideas when I wake up, and second, my house is quiet--I can easily think and write in a quiet house.
Doesn't that make you tired later in the day? some ask. Yes, but I try to schedule my day with that in mind. I retire early and as the day wears on, I am able to choose tasks that require less energy. Onward.
