WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THIS EXTRA LIGHT

WELL, IT' HAPPENED AGAIN.  Even though we've voted it down, we are back on standard time which means...

... we have a whole lot more morning light.

If you wake up early enough,
which you will do automatically,
for the next day or 2.

For me, that presents a challenge.

The last few years, I've found I'm significantly more productive if I work first, then go out for an afternoon/evening ride.

The problem occurs, when the day is jam packed and I can't get out to ride until 5 or 6.

It's dark,
I need lights.

It's cold,
and will get colder.

Not ideal,
especially offroad...

... it can get a little creepy riding alone.

I don't know about you, 
but it's really easy to cut the ride short, or skip it,
under those conditions.

I'm going to give the 5 hour workday another go.  The idea, set forth in the book of the same name, is to get in and grind hard from 8-1.  

No interruptions.
No breaks.
No food.

For me, that's probably not enough time to get it all done, but...

... it is enough to do the deep work.

Take a break.

Go back and do the meeting, managing stuff.

I'll need to get up no later than 530am to be locked and loaded to go to work.  That is enough time to do the spiritual, mental, journaling stuff. Plus, the Rip On RaceDay workout. And, breakfast.

The key, of course, is to push all meetings out to 3-7pm.

I've tried this before, 
and eventually I adjust to the time change and 530 becomes really early.

Not tomorrow.

Let's see how long it lasts.
