The perfect way to mourn your mundane life.
- wake up at 5:30am
Fuck right off.
I wake up earlier than that these days yet i somehow manage to stay far less smug about it. Though i will gladly fuck off, it’s a ridiculous time to be waking up
Funny how it’s not the worst idea but “this alone separates you from 99% of people” is like putting poison in soup and now the whole thing is ruined.
It didn’t say it was better than that 99%; just separate.
“No meetings before 2pm (when the eastern hemisphere people are going to sleep)” that’ll go over well.
Did they draw hyperlinks in their notebook?
Wake up at 5:30am
Counter offer: go to hell
Mourning routine, lol.
I wake up at 5:30 because my arsehole boss insists that I’m at my desk at 7am.
As a result I’m tired all the time and get fuck all done.
What kind of work do you do?
Quality and training manager at a company that values neither.
This isn’t terrible advice, but it’s presented in such a way that I want to strike the author for being such a smug prick.
Yeah focused work is great and pomodoro timers can help you achieve it by breaking out down into smaller chunks. But this image was just grating to read, and it seemed to imply only working 3 hours per day.
Step 8: wake up for real this time. It’s 9:30 and you’re late.
Steps 1-7 was just you dreaming about having your shit together.
I used to do that in high school, set my alarm early to do the homework I didn’t do the night before, I would feel super productive until I woke up for real, late, and with unstarted homework still on the floor.

My biggest criticism is that I’m not really the one who sets my meeting schedule, even when I’m the one who sends the invite. Unless your entire company has a “no meetings until 2pm” policy this isn’t really doable. Especially if you work with people in multiple time zones.
I only got to institute this when I started working for myself. It took me a year or two to realise. For all clients or all agencies I sub for I have a strict no meetings before 930am rule. I haven’t told anyone why - my calendar is just blocked out so each probably individually thinks I have some recurring appointment with another client. Nup. I’m in bed drinking my coffee. I’m a shit sleeper, if I manage at all. I spent decades working to the early birds’ schedule. Fuck that.
But it is a privilege and very few can achieve that working in a company. It’s gross to suggest to people they can just do it. I know my situation is niche. To suggest otherwise is arrogant and ignorant.
A lot of these LinkedIn lunatic posts are absurd. This one seems totally reasonable, healthy, and leaves plenty of time for hobbies and family/friends.
Minus the meeting time restriction. Dunno how you manage that unless you’re the owner of the company.
“No meetings before 2pm”, “saying no is a superpower” yeah brill mate I’ll just say no to my boss multiple times a morning forever and absolutely won’t get fired for being difficult thanks Matt xo
-
wake up whenever, alarm usually goes off 8:30. Maybe i hit snooze a buncha times
-

Take a long walk for lunch, usually blow out my step requirements

fuck off work 3:30, go fuck around in garden until sun sets
-
big fat dinner sitting on my arse watching telly with hubs, then gaming after he goes to bed at 9ish
-
bed around 1ish under fat purring cat.
Pretty much my routine to a tee.
Fantastic, isn’t it
5:30 h/day? My man living the dream
Nah, IT. Work driven. Somedays are five hours, some are 28 hours
some are 28 hours
Ouch, crowdstrike?
Oh hell no thank fuck. Avoided that shitshow

I prefer the other Matt Gray tbh, he’s funnier and doesn’t tell me to wake up at 5:30 when I’ve just gotten to sleep…
I’ve loathed people based on less information before, but not with this intensity.
“Saying ‘no’ is a superpower, it will lead you to your true calling. Trust your instincts.”
“Want my morning routine checklist? Follow Matt Gray”
No. ( :
