To get up at 5am every day?

I’m a mum to one lovely toddler. He’s in nursery for two days a week (whilst I work part time) and the rest of the week he’s home with me.

I really want to retrain and take my career in a new direction, and need to find some work/study time in between looking after my son, the part time job, cooking, cleaning and general life admin.

How hard would it be to get up at 5am every day to work/study for a solid 1.75 hours before my son gets up at 7? I would then work for another hour or two in the evening when he’s gone to bed.

Is it doable or will I be a dead woman walking?

I'm self-employed and I get up at 5am every day so I can do an hour or so of paperwork before I start the day's appointments. I find it easier that way rather than trying to do it in the evening when I get home and am knackered.

I wake at 5:30 every day to get dressed, washed and get house sorted before the kids get up at 7. It's a lovely restful part of the day for me.

But I'm a lark and the mornings are my best time of day
