I got up early, finished a chapter, made a small list of goals (writing a note, paying a bill, making a copy, saving work to a USB drive), and did laundry and floors.

This works so well for me because may day tends to fall apart as it wears on. This way, I get important stuff done before real life intrudes.

By the time I get dinner fixed and hubby into bed (sometimes in reverse order, depending on how tired he is), I am ready to collapse, and I usually do take about an hour’s nap.

After that, I am good for nothing, and besides, hubby meeds company and conversation.

So, “make the most of early morning” will be my motto.
