done it earlier in life vs done it sooner

Both phrases are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. 'Done it earlier in life' implies that the action was completed at a younger age, while 'done it sooner' suggests that the action was completed at an earlier point in time, regardless of age. The choice between the two phrases depends on whether you want to emphasize the age at which the action was completed or simply the timing of the completion.
