My timeless Utopia was a world where the day extends to 30 hours, and the year to 16 months, enough to accomplish all my tasks. If a day on Earth was similar to a day on Pluto, my problems would be solved.
The next best option for accomplishing my tasks was to vigorously use time management to fit in with my daily duties. That didn't work well; I still couldn't manage to actively reduce my to-do list. It kept growing.
Then I decided to wake up earlier than I was accustomed to gain a few extra hours of work every day. It worked. I now wake up at 4:45 AM, but aim to wake up 15 minutes earlier within the next few weeks.
And, already, there are huge changes to how much I manage to clear in a day. Here are more benefits to waking up early.
Faster Internet
The busier the time of day, the slower the Internet becomes. Waking up early provides me with relatively faster connection speeds, something that is quite beneficial for clearing the daily inflow of emails.
Using the Internet when most people are asleep provides a slightly higher connection speed and the ability to clear more work.
Uninterrupted workflow
An early start provides the least interruption to the workflow from others with whom I interact during the day.
Between waking up and taking the shower, I have the privilege of working without interruption during the most productive time of the day.
More energized
I have discovered that waking up early keeps me highly energized throughout the day, both physically and mentally. In my previous routine the more time I spent in bed the more tired I was during the day.

Because there is ample time between waking up and leaving for office, there is also ample time to plan the day ahead instead of rushing from one task to the next. It provides a less stressful work day.
More time to exercise
I wont lie and say I have begun to exercise regularly. When I begin to exercise, I can use that extra time slot in the morning for a healthy dose of exercise.
These are a few of the benefits of rising up early. Not long ago, I worked late and rose late. The transformation and the fact that I am enjoying the change could be a sign that I am growing old.

I have tried this but i can't seem to wake up early. I work late and it has been my routine. I will pray and fast so that i wake up early. It is healthier and heavenly! i hope it works this time.
Don't give up! You just need to keep on trying until you get used to it. In fact, from my experience, now I sometimes wake up even before my alarm starts ringing.
