1. Get up early and at the same time everyday

Okay no one likes to get up early, we like to sleep. But, getting up early does have its benefits. I’m not talking about getting up just early enough so you can hustle out the door in the morning. I’m talking about getting up one to two hours ahead of schedule so you can take care of some things that if left undone won’t get done and rest assured they won’t get done when you get home from work. So if you normally get up at 7 am get up at 5 am. Something that I did several years ago when I was working on this was to shave 15 minutes off my sleep time every week. So in a couple of months I was getting up 2 hours earlier than when I started.

You might be thinking what am I going to do with this extra 2 hours. Well there’s plenty. You see we all have 24 hours in a day, right? So how come everyone says I wish I could do x, y, or z if only I had more time. Now you can fill in the x, y, or z yourself, but just think about what you might do with an extra 2 hours every day. Think about what you might do for yourself, your family, or maybe you might just get to work earlier, so you don’t have to stay later and you could spend some time with your loved ones or a friend. That would be nice wouldn’t it?
