Wake up early
WHY? So many benefits come when you wake up early. I am far from a morning person but I got in the habit to wake up at a decent time and start my day with hot lemon water, a workout and a podcast. When you exercise in the morning, you’re less likely to have an excuse. Plus, you’ll find that your morning workout will keep you energized all day long. Starting your day early improves your concentration. In addition to being able to focus on goals and task lists without being interrupted by family members or coworkers, getting up early means that by the time you get to work or school, you’ve had hours to properly acclimate yourself to the day. Most successful people report that they’re up at 5 am, or even earlier. Early risers tend to be more productive for a variety of reasons, including:
· Having more time to focus on important tasks while the rest of the world is asleep.
· Brains tend to be most alert in the morning. If you’re able to focus without interruptions early in the day, you’ll get more done.
· You tend to make better decisions and think more clearly in the morning than in the afternoon and evening. Setting your goals first thing will help you achieve them.
· If you can manage to get out of bed early, you’ll find that you have more energy throughout the day.
