Marci, I don’t want to hear this! I like my bed. I like my sleep. I like justifying how it’s okay to hit the snooze button twenty times…
But you’re right, oh so right. I KNOW, know know know that my day is a hundred times better when I show a little self-discipline. I’ve been getting back into in the last week, but I’m still struggling with my lapse of routine over the holidays… and my own laziness, heehee.
Thanks for the challenge and reminder.

Usually, I go to bed at 11pm and read for a while and then get up at 7am. My goal is to start going to bed at 10pm and getting up at 6:30am at first and working back to 6am. I made the 10pm last night but still got up at 7 today!! Lets see what tomorrow holds!

I know this would start the day off great, but getting up early is the problem. Like you, I am not a morning person. I would LOVE to be able to get up early enough to have those things accomplised before anyone else rises…maybe I will give it a try for a week and see what happens (if I survive). ha ha!

Thanks for the nudge to try. I think I need to go to bed now.

Thanks for the good reminder. I have been getting up early since my husband has been leaving around 6:30 for work. But I haven’t been making use of the time. I need to put some routine in my early morning time. I am not a morning person either. SO I force myself to get up to see my hubby off and it really helps me stay up. (Especially if I make the bed before he leaves.

DO I need some early morning quiet time? Oh YES! Do I make sure it happens?? Not nearly…It’s been on my mind a lot though and I’m going to make more of an effort for sure. I’m such a night owl at heart, I find it so hard to say goodnight when theres so much fun to be had creating, reading, relaxing, enjoying time with hubby all UN-interrupted!!

What time do you usually go to bed and rise when you’re on an early time frame?

Marci- this is so true…the earlier the better. I always get up before my kids…those few quiet moments, (before the fighting over the space heater in the kitchen) are so precious to me. It does help clear your mind and organize my thoughts.

Oh my goodness, I could swear you are my lost long sister! LOL. I love this, I am so behind this week and now I am beating myself up. But you are right! Get up earlier! Wow! That’s my answer! Thanks and great post girl!

I so need this right now. This is my hardest resoution to keep. I can make it to the gym, cut out cheese and weeknight drinks, but getting up early – or even on time – forget about it. When I manage it my day is AMAZINGLY brighter.
