First off, I loved the article. Keep it up!

I have been waking up exactly at 6AM every weekday morning. Then I do exactly the opposite of what you are suggesting: I check my emails, catch up on my social media (twitter/instagram preferred) and then read couple of articles on medium.com and few other blogs. Then shower. It helps me get those out of the way so that I can concentrate on my day right after my shower. I guess it is what works best for each person. To each their own. You do you.
