How to rise early and raise productivity

My favorite time of the day is between 4 am and 7 am. The world is asleep, the sun hasn't risen and I totally feel at ease. I never used to sleep in late, but I also never considered myself an "early riser". In times of depression and elsewhat, I transitioned into a night owl and got to bed at usually 3 a.m in the morning (and I loved it). When I decided to change something, I also tried to wake up earlier than usual. And now, more than one year later, I wake up (nearly) every day at 6 am. I am still in love with nightfall and the moon, but I learnt that my quality in life just got better by learning how to be productive.

I don't want to convince you with "I made it and so can you" because if you don't want to try it, don't. If you tried doing things early, but you feel better at a different time, stick to it. Everybody can find his time to shine and rise. But if you want to give at least a try, I have some tips how it got easier.

How can I wake up this early?

take your time. Don’t hesitate and try waking up early one or even two hours earlier than usual. It won't work. On the first day you will maybe feel ok, but insomnia and sleep deprivation will haunt you soon. Try waking up 10 to 15 minutes earlier each day instead.

be excited. If you plan something that excites you for the next day, you will be more motivated to rise.

stand up immediately? No. Although I've read many articles about this, it never would work for me. It made me feel even worse the first days. Try something different: Set your alarm for two times. Wake up with the first and stand up with second. It helps!

"but it's the weekend!" Let me tell you: time is relative. When you really want to create a new habit, you have to stick to it, no matter what. No matter if it's Wednesday or Sunday.

it's all about sunsets. I love waking up (even before) the sun sets. And now while it's winter, I bought my own. Jup, my answer is : sunrise alarms. A lifesaver!

Having difficulties not pushing the snooze button? There are apps that will challenge you when your alarm goes off! Best. Invention. Ever.

naps naps naps. It's okay if you need a break. If you are tired. Learn to rest. You got this! 25min a day can save lives.

build a routine. Humans work o routines. Have fun, build your own! Coffee, making your bed, bullet journaling or writing, you do you.

I hope I could help somewhat - I believe you can do anything you want and take in action! Cheers to you. Xx

I'm very proud of myself that I managed to do at least 1hr of work (preparing stuff for tomorrow) although I feel so under the weather & tired today.

this is a reminder that it is okay to take breaks when your body tells you to. ❤️
