Day 1 - First day success :)

Last night while listening to zen habit's book "The Power of Less", they recommended focusing on a small measurable habit for 30 days and letting other people know what you're doing.

Target Wake Up time: 4:15 am

Methods:
- Eat big meal just before bed. People say you shouldn't do this but that's what I did last night and I think it helped. I only eat 2 times a day, my 2nd meal will now be the cue to get myself ready for sleep.
- 1 alarm set on phone and 5 set on my watch.

If anyone is wondering how this relates to finances, this relates to everything. If I wake up consistently at 4:15am, I consistently get my workout in and start the day fresh. In regards to execution, consistency is key.
