The people getting more done than you don’t have 25 hours in their day, or 13 months in their year. They’ve learned to use time differently, more efficiently, and to much better effect. Here are just a few of the habits many insanely productive people use.

They start the day right

It seems counter intuitive to spend a prime hour (or two) of your morning doing something other than work, but many super producers (such as bestselling author and world renowned success coach Robin Sharma) insist on it. They swear that a vital aid to their productivity is the simple practice of getting up early, so they can start the morning right.

Common early morning practices of the insanely productive are meditation, exercise, journaling, reading and learning. They feel their morning routine sets them up for a peaceful, productive, focused day.

And if you’re just not a morning person? There’s still hope. Know who else claims he’s not a natural morning person? Hal Elrod, author of the book The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8am), and the inadvertent starter of a movement, that now largely revolves around his website MiracleMorning.com.
