I tried waking up at 4 a.m. every morning like Pepsi CEO Indra Nooyi, but I ended up creating a perfect morning routine for myself

Indra Nooyi is $4 for being the CEO of PepsiCo, where she is both the first woman and person born outside of the US to hold the role.

She was also named the $4, twice, by Fortune Magazine.

Like many other $4, Nooyi starts her day earlier than everyone else, waking up at 4 a.m. and getting to the office by 7 a.m.

After four weeks of following the morning routines of $4, $4, $4, and $4, I was getting accustomed to 5 a.m. starts and exercising before the sun came up.

Waking up at 4 a.m., however, would be a whole new challenge.

It would require going to bed extra early, which meant a radical change in how I structured my day and social commitments.

I didn't manage to wake up at 4 a.m. the entire week. In fact, I only attempted it for three days, and the earliest I managed was 4:15 a.m.

After the experiment, however, I realized that I'd created the perfect morning routine for myself in the process. It just doesn't involve starting at 4 a.m.
