“And it’s fear of failure, fear of being overtaken…I remember when I was a young guy in the SEAL teams I was very afraid of making mistakes and looking stupid or doing dumb things and getting a bad reputation.

“One of the things I definitely think of as a driver of me is fear,” he confessed on his show. Willink is refreshingly candid about the motivation behind this life-tactic. Getting out of bed is like the foundation of the discipline and I think it carries over into everything else.” Willink isn’t unbending about this regime – he concedes that “some people need more sleep – there’s some genetics involved”, and flags up the risks of over-training with a sleep-starved body – but his basic principle is clear: “I won’t say that it’s the be-all and end-all, but it definitely has an impact and it definitely affects the other things in your life if you have that discipline in the morning. In episode one, he explained the rationale between starting the day three hours before most other people: “If you wake up whenever you want and you slept for 10 hours and you’re lazy getting out of bed, then I believe that affects your whole life in a negative way.” With 20 years service under his belt – including the 2006 Battle of Ramadi, in which his special operations unit became the most-decorated of the entire war – Willink formed the leadership consulting firm Echelon Front, coming to wider attention via an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, before starting his own. The man largely responsible for this outpouring of motivational sentiment is Jocko Willink, a retired US Navy Seal commando and co-author (with his former platoon commander Leif Babin) of the book Extreme Ownership: How US Navy SEALs Lead and Win.Ībout to go THROAT PUNCH MONDAY MORNING.

A search through the 0445club hashtag brings up a series of photos of watches with inspirational calls to action for the day: THERE’S WORK TO BE DONE THERE IS ALWAYS TIME FOR GOOD WORK… GET IT DONE NEW DAY = NEW OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE. There’s a distinct risk that I’ll have so much time to fill that I’ll start dismantling electrical items, Alan Partridge-style. By this point, it should be about 9.01am and I’ll have an entire working day ahead of me. Once it starts to get light I’ll go running, have a shower, take out the recycling, sort my monthly accounts out and phone my bank to do some paperwork that I’ve been meaning to sort out for the last month. I’ve already cleared my inbox, had breakfast, done some exercise and I’m about to start my online French lessons. I slipped out of bed, took a screenshot of my phone to prove I was awake at 4:40am, uploaded it to Twitter with the relevant hashtags (#0445club, #getafterit, #disciplineequalsfreedom) and put the kettle on while trying not to wake up my partner or stub my toes in the dark.Īs I edit this piece, it’s still dark outside, the Today programme has just started on Radio 4, and bar the low rumbling of the boiler, the building I live in is unusually silent. This morning, I woke up earlier than I have done in the last five years, bar one time when I needed to get to an airport.
