Inspired from medium article
- Start reading Haruki Murakami’s novels. it seems interesting #toreading
- The repetition itself becomes the important thing; it’s a form of mesmerism.
- Mesmerising things to do has contributed a lot to him, its like tieing one habit to the other as clear says in [[Atomic Habits]].
- A drive of motivation will be there for waking up early when we practise it.
- Create and cultivate a strong purpose for waking up earlier, create routine/ what to do after waking up earlier- if its a useless time spending thing(simply sitting isnt considered one), like scrolling phone, dont consider waking up early for it.
- create a purpose that extends than a basic task
- Run a 5 Whys analysis [[5 Why Analysis]]
- Strat of with a small problem and work up to the root of it to find a real need to wakeup early.
- Consider what you gain and loose
- gains
- Early morning distraction free hours.
- prefrontal cortex is most active right after waking up, making it optimal for creativity
- Writing and creative input is high at morning times.(Personally experienced this)
- ultimately you gain a few hours with solitude on yourself.
- loses
- mostly the late night munches you earlier used to enjoy and devour will be gone.
- youll start the day slowly thinking that you have a lot of time in your sleeve.
- In my case, the cold in the mornings cause me allergy, so sneezing and runny nose alert.
- You feel like youre running out of time.
- if youre a student or a worker, your work/college time ends typically by 5(for me my college ends at 4 and i talk with other people and spend an hour in college), this leaves with less time for you to do things that you usually did.
- gains
- You should give yourself some off days to the schedule. * somedays everything doesnt all go well as i planned, i need to shift the time i need to go to sleep. but limiting it to once a day. Ask yourself these two questions:
- What will I gain with the extra time in the morning?
- What will I lose with the lost time at night?
Then ask yourself: ==“Do the benefits outweigh the costs?”==
- start of by sleeping more than you intend to.
- try waking up naturally when your body awakens itself.
- Dont try to introduce drastic changes to your life
- Do something you really like(watching Youtube does count)doing to get your day started.
- Start and plan a morning routine tailored for you.
- no blogs or articles are going to really plan what you want to do, so tailor one to yourselves.
- One day [[2023-02-17]]of waking up early feels like good.
