I completely agree with you. I do not wake up because of a “productive/workaholic” mentality, I like to wake up early exactly so that I have time to watch fun stuff on Youtube, talk to friends and maybe play something, although I have not played much, but by waking up early I feel like I have more time for myself.

When I wake up late I need to rush and get ready to work super fast and it depletes all my energy for the day and I can’t do the fun stuff after work because I am tired and it doesn’t feel the same, not having time to prepare slowly and procrastinate and have fun before going to work makes me feel like garbage all day.

By waking up early I can give more time and energy for myself and work later, if I wake up later I have to rush and spend all that energy working.

By waking up earlier and not rushing I feel happier throughout the day.
