12894138, a couple of things Posted by dapitts08, Thu Sep-10-15 09:24 AM
no particular order
i use the sleep cycle app to wake me up in the lightest sleep phase http://www.sleepcycle.com/
i create a morning ritual of short wins that build momentum these small tasks also become triggers
you should check out the book "miracle morning" by hal elrod http://www.amazon.com/The-Miracle-Morning-Not-So-Obvious-Guaranteed/dp/0979019710
and the 5am miracle podcast by jeff sanders https://www.jeffsanders.com/the-5-am-miracle-podcast/
make it easy to get to each of the items in your ritual for instance one of mine is to drink a glass of water when i wake up so i put the water on my desk the night before
wash your face with cold water as soon as you get up...which makes you actually get out of the bed
the biggest thing for me is to have clear tasks outlined beforehand and not just getting up early without a plan.... i find that the days that i don't have a plan outlined are the days that i hit snooze more often early mornings are great for side projects
edit: oh and going to sleep properly the night before is huge. if you can have a consistent bedtime that will help tremendously. if you can't do that...try to set a time in which you stop using any electronics. if you do have to use a laptop late at night make sure you have flux installed https://justgetflux.com/
