Liked it a lot. Although I confess it takes a different level of conviction to wake up at 4am.

Also - "when in doubt, the answer is a nap" sounds interesting although for me there are two other variations - 'a shower' or 'journal'.

Lastly, while the importance and intent of 4pm to 6pm is surely up there, I think it is difficult for many people (like me) to practice it, given that we get to close our workday at 9pm. Someday!

Thanks Akarsh 🙏 Journal is my bestie too.

I respect where you are coming from. At the same time, maybe people need a test drive in Mercedes to see that Kia isn't as fancy as it appears to be :)

Oh yes. Fully agree.

'When in doubt, the answer is a nap.'

I believe in this philosophy. It's more like a process of increasing the sound of subconscious so conscious can listen to identify the problem.

Nap is the activity that I use to find the problem or the solution to the problem when things get messy in my life. The other one I use is journal.

Just a question, at what time do you go to sleep?

Perfect, love journals too. It is my venting mechanism.

I try going to bed by 9 pm, but 9.30 max it is.

That’s awesome. 9:30 is solid!

I used to follow a similar routine, sleep by 9:30, wake at 4, and walk by the Ganga in Rishikesh. Incredibly refreshing.

Not in a hurry, but hoping to return to it someday.
