Marcus Aurelius – How To Wake Up Early (Stoicism)

The video discusses the wisdom of Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor who wrote the Meditations, a great work of philosophy. The video highlights 10 things that can help people wake up early, based on Aurelius’s teachings. First, people need to find their Ikigai or their purpose in life. They should ask themselves what they would do if they had more time and then pursue the activity that excites them the most. Second, people should prepare themselves for mornings by developing a routine before they go to bed, minimizing phone and television time, and resolving any issues that may keep them up at night. Lastly, they should avoid distractions after they wake up and concentrate on what’s in front of them. By doing these things, people can be on their way to becoming a morning person and squeezing the most out of their day to be more productive.
