I have so much time that I can do so many different things said no one ever within our busy lives finding time is one of the hardest things to do so I'll be waking up at 5:00 a.m. for 30 days straight to see if it can help with this problem or ruin my life make me tired and never want to wake up early again why am I doing this again lately I have been struggling with a few things I am not as productive as I once was I have anxiety about not being productive and I also have not been there for my loved ones as much as I should and I hope that waking up at 5:00 a.m. will give me a little bit more free time allow me to be more productive and hopefully just be a better version of myself okay we are setting my first alarm of the challenge 500 a.m. baby 5 a.m. you're not going to be able to get up yes I am no you're not yeah easy I'm getting up easy well it's 5 a.m. 5:03 to be exact surprisingly I'm feeling pretty decent I thought I was going to feel terrible just because it's a different wakeup time doesn't mean it's a different morning routine stop it first I weigh myself damn I'm heavy right now then I brush my teeth which always includes flexing this is a crucial step that your dentist may have forgotten to tell you next I dressed myself with some code Jesse I mean young La it's early give me a break after saying a quick good morning to the future wife I make my way downstairs to get started on bre you got to be kidding me okay not ideal but enjoy these nice cinematic shots of me making talk my tripod will not stop falling apart oh I really hope this isn't a metaphor of how the rest of this challenge will go I feel like I literally just went to war with making this breakfast I don't know if it's because I'm filming or because it's 5:00 in the morning and I don't know what's going on we got 29 more days of this 6:03 a.m. I'm in the gym I can't blast music cuz Claudia is sleeping still so got some handy dandy headphones and uh feels very weird I feel like like [Music] lonely okay that feels horrible okay it is a little too early for that much effort I would say everything is about one pin up 20 lbs down it's not terrible but obviously it's not [Music] optimal it's super interesting I don't have the urge just scroll on my phone this early typically I'll wake up at 9:00 a.m. and scroll on my phone for at least 10 to 15 minutes so maybe starting my day off of the workout like this will keep me off this Doom scrolling device longer we're all addicted to it it's bad it's really bad I proceeded with the rest my workout did my cardio and For The First Time in Forever actually got to see the sunrise it is 7:26 a.m. and we've got a snowstorm that I worked out while it was happening the craziest thing is that I feel really good right now but I feel like at 2: pm p.m. I'm going to feel horrible 5:00 a.m. baby 7:48 a.m. I feel like I have completed my entire day so I am going to edit my proposal video I don't typically edit all my videos but this is one that I want to edit because I think it's really personal yeah I guess I'm just going to spend the next few hours grinding away at this maybe I'll make Claudia some breakfast I've got time baby I've got time like none other if I'm going to do this challenge become a better version of myself why not be a better fiance not boyfriend fiance that's weird saying out loud well let's cook [Music] baby oh babe I've got you breakfast and bed it feels like 300 p.m. for me I've been up all day first morning as a fiance huh M oh my God boys that's how you treat your women make him some breakfast in bed I thought I'd carry this momentum for the rest of the day but by 11:00 a.m. the fatigue definitely kicked in we've officially been awake for 6 hours I've been editing non-stop I'm in dire need of caffeine getting a lot done but I could tell that by 5:00 I'm going to be asleep it's catching up quick it's 5:00 p.m. I've been up for 12 hours at this point my eyeballs are burning a bit we're making strawberries I'm trying to enjoy myself but the tiredness is getting to me my bedtime is totally going to be 8:00 p.m. tonight all right I have made it to 8:00 p.m. I'm so exhausted I need to go to bed right now will you carry me up to bed no I cannot like a piggy back all right guys day one is in the books let's just hope tomorrow is a little bit better okay I've got my coffee so why don't we head outside start the day with a little bit of sunlight and kind of fresh up and wake up oh yeah there is no sunlight yet I'm going back inside it's kind of weird normally my phone is being lit up by texts all day long and there's literally nothing because none of my employees none of my family none of my friends are even up okay so yesterday's workout I feel like didn't do anything at all I'm not sore at all and I always sore after a back day like the problem is is that for 8 hours through the night I'm fasting and then I come down here and I try to get a pump I try to get a workout and I feel like it's just impossible because there's not enough food and not enough just alertness to have an effective workout okay so my dad has been waking up for the past 30 years at 5:00 a.m. so I'm asking for some advice because I don't understand how he's been doing this for that long good morning good morning sunshine so you're finally getting up early that's good how the hell have you been doing this for like 30 years just get used to it lot a lot a lot of people do it what's your best piece of advice to wake up early go to bed early life a lot easier my dad proceeded to give me some more advice to survive waking up at 5:00 a.m. to be honest it was just nice to talk to him because ever since I started making videos our schedules can't seem to align I'm going to get back to my workout I'll talk to you later have a good day okay all right see all right bye I just got a text from my dad and he says got to start early to get stuff done if you want to be successful in life there's 16 hours in a work day sometimes you need to use all of them and he sent a video of him driving to work he really is the reason that I work hard and the reason that I get up every day to push myself he's the one that taught me to be relentless so I do owe it to him to push myself although his advice was for me to go to bed earlier that was going to have to wait because after doing my cardio having a cold shower and getting some work done I was on my way to a double date where are you ladies at twirl y give me a twirl but we have a problem tomorrow I have to wake up at 5:00 a.m. tonight we have an option we either get home early don't have anything to drink tonight or we go out I'm with two very nice fine looking women but then I'm going to wake up feeling really tired cuz I'm probably going to have one two martinis H what do we here have [Music] I don't want to get up I really don't I just want to light out and sleep my energy levels were officially trash like here is my whoop score after yesterday and in terms of my productivity I don't want to work out I'm really just doing everything I can to kind of muster up some strength to go either do cardio or at least get something done I feel like this challenge has only gotten harder and worse every day I genuinely thought I'd be better by now I'm sitting in my computer I'm listing things to try to get things done but I so badly need sleep that I'm not productive at all right now it was obvious that I was going to have to change my nightly routine before I've been up since 500 a.m. and I have not left my bed yep I got sick it was time for me to lock in and set up a new proper schedule so I could get the benefits of waking up at 5:00 a.m. and prevent this burnout from happening again I need a routine that's what I've been missing this whole time so here's what I'm thinking wake up at 500 a.m. no duh then I'm going to do a full skincare routine even though I'm exhausted make a coffee take a cold plunge I'm sorry future Jessie you are going to hate this just breathe I might have a straight line across my body but that is how you start your day for Success eat some breakfast not eating as soon as I'm waking up has helped tremendously I don't have that weird hunger feeling throughout the day where I just want to snack on everything being on a more regimented eating schedule that's more normal has helped a ton lift and Cardio [Music] and boom we've got ourselves my new morning routine then I can begin my day it feels so good to finally have a routine that is benefiting this challenge everything is there for a purpose and it feels so good to be awake and all I feel is gratitude and I actually am alive and awake for it when typically I'm really tired just dragging through this moment but it feels good everything was becoming more efficient an example being my diet which takes up a good deal of time to ensure that I'm e properly for my goals well that was until day 17 and that's where macro Factor comes in also today's sponsor not having to overthink my diet has led me to be even more productive in my routine than I already was and

3:00 2:45 4:30 4:4 4 4:00 a.m. every day every day for how long have you been doing this uh about 2 years now do you have any advice for anybody trying to wake up early probably more or less a set of time during the evening once you got to go to bed get enough rest have a plan set your alarm don't snooze just get up start slow so wake up at 6 and slowly move it back why did you get up that early I have my daughter she wakes up at 7:00 okay okay yeah family priorities there you go what time did you wake up today 4:45 what's your best piece of advice for someone like me that's just getting into that 5:00 a.m. routine unhealthy amounts of caffeine hell yeah brother let's go now that we know the secrets from people who actually wake up early every day let's get into the workout I'm feeling motivated man I'm feeling I'm feeling ready no more excuses during these workouts I am fighting my inner voice saying stop I don't want to do this I don't want to push I don't want to do another set but you have to literally ignore that and be like okay I'm up right now I'm already doing something so we need to do something right and not just be a little baby this workout was honestly one of the best of the entire challenge being surrounded by these determined people who choose to get up and Train Early definitely push me they kind of reminded me of my dad and how every morning he'd be up and out at 5:00 a.m. to earn a living for our family but still show up and support me for everything I was doing hello how are you Dad what's going on just uh doing my thing working a lot welcome to my world how you making out with that honestly better than I thought it was been brutal in the beginning but then have been probably the most productive that I've ever been in my entire life and I'm already a productive person I've literally I've been going on runs and I haven't done that in years that's good it's definitely painful to get up that early though you get used to it I'm sure you do I was thinking that why don't you and Mom uh I was I was thinking that why don't you guys come swing by and I haven't seen you in a while so it'd be nice yeah we'll head down I haven't seen you in a while go hang out gra by D sounds good that'd be good cool all right manab see you later bye love you one of the biggest benefits this routine had given me was emphasizing quality time with Claudia usually we just watch TV together after a long day but now we could do stuff like cleaning the house and doing cute things together holy crap it's almost like I have an entire extra day from waking up so early and because I'm getting so much done before anyone else is even awake it relieves so much pressure for my life thus just giving me so much less anxiety throughout my entire day and let me just tell you I needed that really bad each day the routine got easier and easier and I can confidently say that this was the most productive I have ever been in my entire life no distractions no social media in the morning no nothing just work and gratitude fresh air baby feels good my fingertips are frozen but I'm feeling good all right guys day 30 here we are I have become a master of cooking oats on day one my oats explode on day 30 I have made a beautiful piece of work the game plan today we're going to hit an insanely amazing amazing workout we're going to end this challenge extremely strong and then because we have developed so much free time my family is coming down today so we're going to see them we're going to have a great day that's what w get up at 5:00 a.m. is for it's not for just being productive it's for making time for people you love I've heard a saying in the past that no one is coming to save [Music] you you are your savior you need to work hard you need to dig yourself out of the trenches that you've put yourself in or that the world has put you in and you have to find a way [Music] out there is no feeling sorry for yourself if you're tired and you're telling yourself you're tired you are just feeling sorry for yourself right now I'm sitting here and I'm like oh my gosh it's early I'm tired I don't want to do this I'm just feeling sorry for myself and no one's coming to save me I have to dig myself through the trenches I have to dig myself out of all of my problems and I have to dig myself through this leg day it applies to everything in life you are the only one that's coming to save you okay my parents are finally here hello hello love you hello what's going on I missed you guys miss you too we are going on a family hike whenever we are all together we always spend time in the woods are you ready sure you look ready you got the shades you ready to go for you you're always ready you're going to look like you're about to go for Speed [Music] sure okay so you've been waking up at 5:00 a.m. for how many years 30 30 years what is your best piece of advice for someone that wants to start a new habit that might be extremely difficult like getting up at 5:00 a.m. just do it I took a lot of traits from you of being very hardworking very very dedicated and being relentless what does that mean to you 16 hours on a work day use all of them if needed all of them I'm glad I can I can be here enjoy this I love you love you too my father is a man of a few words but he gets a hell of a lot done and that's where I got my inspiration from so overall what are the true benefits that I experienc from waking up at 5:00 a.m. for the past 30 days one I am the most productive I have literally ever been in my entire life I have done more work than I could ever ask for and it's been tough and I feel a little burnt out sometimes but I am getting so much more done two my days just feel longer and I honestly have less anxiety about things that pop up out of nowhere because I just have extra time three having an extremely structured and organized life everything felt very structured for the past month and it felt really relieving because I was able to just follow the structure of the day every day and make progress on each thing and four the most important one of them all more time for my loved ones I had more time during the day which led to more time with my beautiful fiance with my family and overall everyone that I care about and I should be giving time for I did such a tough ass what did you say he can be soft too but not much just a little not saying a word I I knew you were holding back a joke I knew you were holding back a joke I don't want to hear it all right well oh my gosh okay I'm going to end it here I appre you guys watching this far it means the absolute world my dad is a big motivator but obviously he's where I get my dirty humor from as well so appreciate you guys so much for watching make sure you subscribe turn your post notifications but most importantly John do you want to say it stay Relentless you got to say it a little bit more emotional stay Relentless peace
