How to Fall in Love With Morning Productivity
6 steps to enjoy working early.
I wake up at seven every day. Some people think I’m crazy for waking up at an “ungodly hour” and proceed to say they could never wake up so early because they don’t like it.
However, I’ve come to learn that there are two types of people.
The first kind of person genuinely hates mornings and prefers to wake up late in order to stay up until the wee hours of the night (also known as a night person).
The second type of person doesn’t actually hate mornings. They’re simply too lazy to wake up early. They’re not a night person — they just haven’t learned how to stop hating arising early.
I went from waking up at nine every day to seven. Here’s how I did it.
1. Set your alarm ten minutes before you normally wake up
If you wake up at nine, you won’t suddenly be able to wake up at seven. Waking up early takes practice.
Every one or two weeks, set your alarm ten minutes behind your accustomed times until you get to the time you’d like to wake up.
