How does James stay productive?

James Sexton maintains productivity through a disciplined morning routine that optimizes his alertness and responsiveness to his professional responsibilities. His day starts exceptionally early, at 4:00 AM, a time when he feels naturally most inclined to wake up. Upon waking, he checks his phone immediately to see if there are any urgent work-related emergencies that occurred overnight, reflecting his role as a responsive lawyer for his clients. He then engages in a morning workout which can vary between cardio and lighter weight training, adapting as needed for his physical condition as he's grown older. Following exercise, he enjoys black espresso and continues with his workday, which is most productive in the early hours until noon or one PM. James emphasizes the importance of going to bed early to support his early-rise habit, usually sleeping before 8:00 PM 1.
