Description: This may be the most common question on this show, but how can someone truly wake up at 5:00 am? In this week's episode of The 5 AM Miracle I get back to the basics of the podcast and discuss the fundamentals of waking up early consistently.

In the Tip of the Week segment I share my updated checklist for my FBOTs (focused blocks of time), plus a new app to block distracting websites.

My FBOT Checklist (Focused Blocks of Time)
  1. Get a snack and a drink (usually bananas/Clif Bars and water/coffee/tea)
  2. Bathroom break (can't forget this one!)
  3. Put the FBOT sign on the door (this is for my wife Tessa, my favorite co-worker)
  4. Turn OFF iPhone and hide it (without hiding it I will habitually check my phone)
  5. Light the candle (I just like to burn things)
  6. Set the timer (I use Nice Timer on my mac)
  7. Turn on Freedom (block distracting sites on any device)
  8. Turn on Focus@Will (productivity music designed by neuroscientists)
  9. Put on Headphones (over-the-ear headphones are best for cutting distractions)
  10. Go!
