How do you spend your
morning?
01
Sleeping late seems to the habit of a hardworking
individual. But when you think about it, it is actually not the sleeping late
part that widens the gap of different individuals, but rather the getting early
part.
I used to stay up late because I feel the need to have my
‘own’ time after working overtime in the office. I will watch Netflix, youtube,
etc till late and because of that, I was always very tired at work. I once
tried a "30 Days Early" challenge. After I started insisting on going
to bed early and getting up early, sleepiness became an occasional thing, and
my work efficiency was greatly improved. I also have more time to plan the work
to be done for the day when I am much more clearheaded. From then on, I made
getting up early as my daily routine.
Although getting
up early seems like a slight change, I gain a lot more from it. Life is still
the same, but I can choose to take more control of it.

In our subconscious mind, we always feel that if we stay
up a little bit, we gain more time for ourselves. But in fact, what does
staying up late give you?
It’s the same eight hours of sleep, from ten o’clock to
six o’clock, and from two o’clock in the morning to ten o’clock, but the first
group of people will have more energy and clearer mind to do more effective
work.
What staying up
late can't give you, getting up early may be able to give it to you. Time is
fair to everyone; it will not compromise to anyone. What we should learn to do
what is how to do things in the most efficient and least disruptive way. Get up
early, you deserve the best day to start a new day.
03
The reason that one can't get up early is because there
are too much external interferences consumes one’s willpower.
Try having an ordinary alarm clock and make sure not to
touch your phone before doing the first thing after getting up. Do also split
the things you have to do into 2-minute things: if you want to exercise, just
walk for two minutes; if you want to learn new language, then recite a word; if
you want to write a script, write a sentence first. Then getting up early is no
longer tough because the sense of fulfilment will replace anxiety.
Those who can
control the morning can control their lives. Go to bed early, have the courage
to end today, then you will have the energy to welcome a better tomorrow.
