Each day for a few weeks, I’ll give you a new tip on how to get more done with the same hours you already have. Here’s the next tip:
Practice ‘Early To Bed, Early To Rise’
You know by memory what will happen when you do this, right? But do you believe it? Do you think you can go to bed at 2:AM, get up at 11:AM and still be as productive as a ‘morning person’?
Well, for some people that may be true. And I used to think I was one of them, but I changed my schedule just to see what would happen, and the saying proved true for me.
Why?
I’m not really sure, but I suspect is has something to do with the psychological boost that comes from realizing how much you can accomplish by 1:00 in the afternoon when you do start early. It feels so much better than knowing you just dragged your butt out of bed while the world around you is just a few hours away from wrapping up their day.
Start going to bed earlier and getting up earlier. Just try it for month and see how it goes.
It’ll require you to give up the cool and mysterious ‘I’m a night-owl’ mantra, but it may have a huge impact on your productivity.
