If the most successful people start their days at 4 a.m., then I question just how successful they actually are.
I keep reading articles about how rich people start their days super early in the morning, and it usually just makes me think that I’ve got a much better life than them.
For me, a successful day is one that includes a nap, time to read, or maybe the opportunity to lie in bed and watch television. It certainly doesn’t involve getting up at 4 a.m. to work on reports or spreadsheets. In fact, the only spreadsheets I want to see at 4 a.m. are bed spreads and fitted sheets (not top sheets).

What do I want for Christmas this year?
I have been posed that question several times by family members, friends and even people I have met on the street already this holiday season.

As I walked into the kitchen on a dark and dreary Tuesday evening, I was greeted by the sounds of mysterious creaking and moaning.
“Is that the floorboard or my knees?” I asked myself in my best tough guy detective voice. “We don’t have time for that right now, we’ve got bigger fish to fry.”
