Starting a new habit

I have read somewhere that it would only take 21 days to start a new habit. And that 21 days after starting the new habit, it comes out naturally.
With that said, I wanted to start waking up earlier to finish all my tasks earlier too. It won't be long that my little one will be back to 7 am school. Pandemic ended and so goodbye online classes.
Since the first day of June, I started to wake up at 5 am. It is a struggle alright. I also spend 10 minutes after waking to exercising.
So, far so good. I hope I could keep this new habit.
What about you, do you struggle to wake up in the morning? Are you up to start a new habit too?

I am not aware of it but if that's the case then I will also adopt good habits for 21 days and will see if it works

since i married a school teacher and had kids, i learned to wake up very early in the morning. i normally get up at 4:30 a.m.
as for a new habit, i dream of becoming a compulsive cleaner. i've yet to achieve a certain level of minimalism. i've been decluttering for years and have been really slow. i hope to someday get rid of a lot of stuff and just live with the essentials. or keep those that "spark joy".

That is good. I didn't know that it takes roughly that amount of days to form it into a habit or some sort. So, what time do you normally go to bed at night?

I have insomnia - I generally get up early most days anyway

I've never had trouble getting up early, because I have to go to work every 6am. So even on sunday i will also automatically wake up at 4.30am. I recently started getting back to exercising after a long period of laziness.
