| 0:00.0 | This is Episode 2331 of Your Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:07.6 | I'm Mary Mechley and welcome to Day 5 of our series. |
| 0:14.1 | This week we're exploring the theme of Managing Procrastination. |
| 0:20.4 | And in today's episode, you're going to be guided as you focus on |
| 0:28.0 | completing what it is you've been procrastinating about. |
| 0:33.6 | This week you've had the challenge to wake up a little earlier than you usually do. |
| 0:42.0 | In fact, you've been invited to join what is referred to as the 5am club. |
| 0:50.0 | And we've been following along with the book by Robin Sharma, who is a well-known |
| 0:56.1 | motivational speaker, author, and coach, and he wrote a book called The 5am Club. |

| 2:07.9 | a schedule that's going to work for you. So you might wake up half an hour earlier or even an hour |
| 2:15.7 | earlier. Maybe you wake up at 7 so you might want to wake up at 6 or 6.30 or you could wake up at |
| 2:24.1 | your regular time but you might even want to structure your time a little differently |
| 2:30.1 | to where you're allowing for this creativity. And what does that look like? Most productivity |
| 2:38.8 | experts will tell you that how you start your day is often the way you move through your day |
| 2:48.4 | and end your day. So when you start the day off right, meaning that you might do some exercise, |
