04:00 "work first for yourself, and then work for someone else!". This touched me!! I am 24 and all my interest is to learn things in order to get a job, but I never thought about learning just for myself!! This inspired me to take the first step...and..tomorrow I will get up at 4 am! Thank you🙏🏽✌🏽♥️
Two issues: 1 - When you work this early you should finish by 1 or 2 p.m., but the slackers that come in late expect you to stay late with them. 2 - To get up at 4 a.m. you have to go to sleep at 8 p.m. or at least no later than 9 p.m. Unless both of the above scenario rules are followed you will work excessive hours and not get enough sleep. In the end you will burn out at work and compromise your be personal health.
Valid points. Totally agree with you. If you are working in classic day job and no willing to find time for side projects there are no real reason to start so early. Sleep in together with all the slackers :) I'm privileged to manage my own working hours, so that is not a problem for me. Usually I'm in a bed at 9-10pm, sleeping for about 6-7h. I tried to sleep for 8h, but had difficulties to sleep more than 7h, so I guess that I sleep enough.
The weak side of me wins most of the time and slows my progress. But I recently found your channel and I consider it a gold mine. Can't thank you enough for all the incredibly useful content you post here! I feel inspired and motivated after listening to you and I will try harder to stay on the right path and become a programmer. Self-teaching is indeed a big challenge that I will overcome soon.
as I said in the video, probably I will switch to 6am as well. That could be the most comfortable time to wake up for me as well. The only downside - kids waking up at about 7..8 am as well :)
I wake up at 5 o'clock during 2 years.These 2-3 hours i use for learning English, traning and reading books. At the beginning was very hard, but now is usually thing for me. one book helped me. It was The Miracle Morning, Hal Elrod.
thanks, yeh its very cool that you make such videos, please continue! im learning programming from scratch, html, css, js - and time to time its very hard, so a wake up ar 3:30, 4, 4:45. cuz my mind work on 100% and I can understand different things, that I didn't understand yet.
I agree, I wake up at 6 am every day. But when I get to work with guys from the USA / Canada, I often should get on a call in around 6 PM, which means my workday is 12 hours which, in a long run means burnout to me. I am using your Notion template (thanks a lot btw) and set a goal to be client-independent till the end of this year and will get up at 6am without any issue haha
Good stuff! Glad to hear that notion template was useful. I'm also moving more to the client independence and since this week don't have any fixed work hours. Hope to have my own projects only in the next year.
I changed my sleeping schedule a bit. I'm waking up at 6am and going to sleep at 10-12 at night. My wife started to wake up at about 5:30 for work and my 4am alarm become a problem for her, also I started to stay longer up at nights to do live streams. That's why I changed the schedule.
Thank you! I doubt that will do any cross platform tutorials because have zero knowledge in that niche and not planing to learn it in near future as well. Flutter is in my "someday maybe" list :)
Definitely going to attempt this because I always wake up late and go to bed late(1am) and I've noticed earlier in the day like you said you have more willpower to do things.
:D I see. I was the same many years ago. Then I switched my self to early bird and have to say you that morning are x2 more effective for me than late nights was. Sure that individual, but still worth trying
@@AivarsMeijers I have tried it few times but most difficult thing for me is to get up early. No matter how early I sleep, it's really difficult to get early unless I have something very important (like catching an early flight or some time sensitive work when I HAVE to get up early) I am sure that is the case with many. How did you manage to overcome that?
@@getbiks Hm, probably that's should be topic for one of the upcoming videos :) Agree, that part is a bit challenging, but after some training that becomes easier.
@@AivarsMeijers I once tried to get up early and really, for me, very early morning is very productive. But it's so hard to retrain yourself to go to bed earlier. Gradually I try to retrain myself, but so far I have only reached the awakening at 6.30 am :)
Impressive… but, when do you fit in quality time with the family? And the wife? I’m married and have two little kids. I’m working on a 9-5 job. All of which is very exhausting. Where do you get the energy and focus to do all that? Would like to start learning coding but I don’t know when to do that without letting my peopz down.
I'n this video I'm talking more about my day hour buy hour to show how that perspective looks like: ua-cam.com/video/aqzu292pQRU/v-deo.html Evenings are for family
It's good that you search for ways to be productive, but cutting your sleeping schedule is very bad for your health. If this works for you and you feel healthy and happy it's ok. But if you know that you are getting depressive, or you see your health is going worse, don't cut your sleeping schedule. The human body needs good sleep. Great video btw.
yeah, valid point. It doesn't worth to cut hour or few from sleep if you are paying with health. Also, working while you are tired is not great. That's like driving with flat tire because you "don't have time" to stop and change it :) Thanks for the feedback and suggestions
I was about to do this wake up at 4am or 5am everyday and achieve goals. but the work keeps me awake until at 12 midnight or 1am. hopefully can adjust the work hours soon.
@@AivarsMeijers thanks for the advice! I work as a java developer with client from the other side of the world, different timezone. hopefully can adjust the work hours, learn mobile dev, and also do side projects to earn more.
Since you seem to have longer days than most people , how do you deal with inevitable fatigue mid-day? And how do you alternate work and other activities?
Well, I think quite a lot of us sleeping about 6-7 hours, so that's now so unusual. But if I feel a bit tired in a mid day I just taking a 15-30 minute nap. Currently we are on lock down, so I do nothing much but planing some time on evenings with family and just go out for a walk. When travel was a thing I often seen mornings for work, days for exploring and vacation mode and I cut nights to 4-5 hours compensating that by naming on the beach.
Everyone is different, which could work for you, but switching to early mornings made me more productive. Usually, we think better during the day and become sleepy at night.
yep, there is no magic bullet to avoid sleeping :) I'm going to sleep at about 10PM. Found that time after 10PM is useless anyway. After 10PM usually, that is just Netflix - wasted time, or that it is work but already tired and less effective than work in the morning.
Depends how many project I have in parallel. And what you can count as work. For example this UA-cam channel takes a lot of time, but if that counted as work? The same about Instagram content creation. For programming only I'm spending about 8-10h per day

First work for yourself and then for someone else- this is golden ! Thanks Aivers for reminding us what’s important 👍
Always!

You can do anything if you are consistent in learning.

HI Im ilan 42 from Israel QA for 10 years and your channel inspired me you inspired me,Thank You man .
Hi Ilian, glad you find this channel useful :)
Work first for yourself, and then work for someone else! Nice saying!
I am doing it by waking up at 6 am everyday. Great video as always :)

Thank you for sharing your story. This is very helpful and encouraging.

I found that morning are way more valuable for me as well, brain is still sharp and willpower and energy are on top

very useful, thank a lot
You really made me appreciate the joy of coding! Thankyou!
Happy to hear that!
Congrats on 10k!
Thank you!! Just reached this huge milestone!
And thank you to you personally for being long time supporter :)
congrats you to achieved 10 000 subs., I am watching you from 500
Yeah, that's quite a big milestone. Thank you for a long time support!
Thank you 😌
Aivars, I know this is an older video, but the concept is super important! What is your schedule looking like nowadays? Keep the great content coming!
I changed my sleeping schedule a bit. I'm waking up at 6am and going to sleep at 10-12 at night.
My wife started to wake up at about 5:30 for work and my 4am alarm become a problem for her, also I started to stay longer up at nights to do live streams. That's why I changed the schedule.
so insightful
Another great video Aiv, could we possibly see some Flutter/Xam tutorials ?
Thank you! I doubt that will do any cross platform tutorials because have zero knowledge in that niche and not planing to learn it in near future as well. Flutter is in my "someday maybe" list :)
Definitely going to attempt this because I always wake up late and go to bed late(1am) and I've noticed earlier in the day like you said you have more willpower to do things.
Yep, I also see that I'm less focused and more open for procrastination on evenings. It worth trying to move active hours to more early morning
Congrats for your journey!
Thank you!
4 am is the time at which I usually go to bed :) it will be hard to get up right away :))

I get up at 5:00. Need to stay fit also...
hi, I'm also an iOS App developer (freelencer) from Taiwan. Like ur setup and video.^^
Cool, thanks!
Amazing vids. Binge-watching them now. Exactly what I want to achive in life - so everything as useful as it can be :) Thanks!
Great to hear!
Very nice
keep going bro ! respect
Thank you, I will keep pushing vids :)
Nice tips! Thank you:)
Thank you for watching!
Hey Aivars! It's been a couple years. What is your schedule looking like now? You should make another video on this!
I'm waking up later now, at 6am and getting into bed at 10..12PM
Great video thanks for share new ideas for us 🚀🚀🚀👌👌👌
My pleasure!

Please switch on closed captions. I like reading your videos in bed :) but my gf is sleeping
I have automated caption generation enabled but that takes a time for UA-cam to process audio and generate them.
@@AivarsMeijers Haha got it! Thank you sir :D
I go to bed at 3:30 - 4AM 😄
