Don’t overestimate what your opponent really knows

We oftentimes overestimate the knowledge of others while underestimating our own skills knowledge. I don’t write this because I have read a study about it but I write it because I experienced it by myself.

My sleep pattern shifted 5 hours while being in the same time zone. Around a year ago I woke up at 5 AM every morning. It was my habit. Yesterday, I was going to bed at 3:30 AM. Today I woke up at 10 AM. I did it both. Here is my personal position on going to bed early versus late.

Do you want to be more productive in the morning? Are you always late in the morning? No matter how early you get up you never have enough time? Do you want to be productive before you finished your first coffee?

We all know it from our days in school. There were days we had to study crazy facts about biology and chemistry. Every week we were forced to learn some hard French vocabulary.

The Wake-Up Run

Right now it is roughly 2 or 3 months ago since I started a wake-up run habit every morning. I was tired nearly every morning and the first thing I did was to brew a coffee. I decided that this needs to end and since that day I am running every morning. I called this habit my wake-up run.
