Brace yourself for this post because I am about to talk about something which sounds scary, but which could dramatically improve and simplify your life. Waking up at 5AM (or earlier depending on your job/career status). If you’re anything like me, and just the thought of removing your blankets makes you want to run a mile, I implore you to stay with me here, because what I’m about to tell you could further enhance your minimalist lifestyle and transform your mindset.
