If you've ever wondered just how Dolly Parton does all of the things she does so well, she's given fans a look into her daily routine. But be warned, you'll likely question what the heck you've been doing with your time.
In a new interview with RuPaul for Marie Claire magazine, the 74-year-old Country and pop culture icon shared her morning routine, which begins at three in the morning

"I’m a very, very, very early riser," she said. "I go to bed pretty early, but I’m up and down. If I wake up and I’m pretty well awake, I think, I’ve got so much to do, I’ll get up and I’ll work a little while, write a little while, and I’ll lay back down."
"But I’m always, almost always up for good around 3 a.m.," says Dolly. "I get more work done during that little period of time when the world is calm, energies are down, and I just feel like a farmer. They say the early bird gets the worm. Well, they also get a lot of good ideas too."
Dolly says she also enjoys beginning her day with husband Carl Dean, whom she began dating 57 years ago, cooking and enjoying a real southern breakfast that she whipped up in her heels.
"This morning I made breakfast for my husband and me," she says. "I made some sausage patties, and I baked some biscuits, and I made some milk gravy. He likes that once in a while. Now, I can’t eat like that all the time, but I enjoy eating it when I do."
And she better be careful while trudging away in the kitchen. "I’m little. I’m short. And I have to wear heels in order to reach my cabinets. But I always enjoy wearing the shoes too... I just feel more like me."
"I have to always stay ready—street ready, I always say."
Of course, Dolly is known for her spirituality just as much as her ability to entertain, and has kept that close to her heart over the years.
"Every single day, before I do anything, I wake up and I thank God for the night and ask him to bless the day and to bring all the right things... all the wrong people out of my life and bring all the right stuff in," she explains. "And just to guide me, lead me. And I always pray that he’ll let me uplift mankind and glorify Him."
Just a few ways Dolly has been uplifting in 2020: Her adorable honesty; her involvement in funding a COVID-19 vaccine; and her absolute love of the holidays, as seen on her new Christmas album, A Holly Dolly Christmas, and the new Netflix movie, Christmas on the Square.

So, how exactly does Dolly manage all of this?
"Well, I’m energized by just what I do," she admits. "I’m like the little Energizer Bunny. I’m just recharged by the excitement of being able to still be active and to still be able to create stuff and to be still in demand."
"That’s exciting to me, that I have all these fans that care about me, and I love us sharing that kind of love and that kind of energy... People love you. And that’s a great feeling to know that people care about you, and so it kind of generates its own kind of energy."
