get to work on time

Target: 8:25
Monday – 8:25
Tuesday – 8:29
Wednesday – 8:26

As much as I HATE it, I’m not letting myself curl back into my soft warm bed after my alarm goes off the first time. This is going to get more difficult as it gets colder, so I need to make it habit NOW while I can still enjoy a quiet moment out on my porch in the morning.

Monday – 8:15
Tuesday – 8:30
Wednesday – 8:24
Thursday – 8:30
Friday (vacation)

The most effective alarm clock is another creature depending on you!! Monday morning I was still au pairing, and the rest of the week I’m dogsitting!

Monday: 8:50
Tuesday: 8:40
Wednesday: 8:45
Thursday: 8:40
Friday: 8:15 (did you know little kids wake up at like, 6am?!? and have to be at school by 7:45?!?)

(Monday – holiday)
Tuesday: 8:40
Wednesday: 9am
Thursday: 8:45
Friday: 8:40

Tracking this goal is discouraging. I’m actually getting LATER.

Target time: 8:30am

Monday: 8:37
Tuesday: 8:27 – WOOOO HOOOO!!!
Wednesday: 8:34
Thursday: 8:46
Friday: 8:40

Target Time: 8:30am

Monday: 9am (+ entertaining story about getting up at 530a to drive from NH, running out of gas, an expired AAA membership, and a dimwitted but well-intentioned customer service rep)

Tuesday: 8:37am (same time as boss, but he was on his cell and actually might not have seen me!)

Wednesday: 8:35 (on my bike!)

Thursday: 8:34 (not bad considering I rolled out of bed at 8:10…)

Friday: 8:35 (no fair – I turned down a morning smash, left the boy in bed at 7:20, and I’m still late?!?)

Target Time: 8:30am
Monday – 8:34
Tuesday – 8:45
Wednesday – 8:40
Thursday – 8:35
Friday – 9:00, (+hangover, oops!)

Okay so I’ve been late all week thanks to construction on the main road backing up traffic several miles from my office. But today I had to be in early, and the construction was finally done, so I actually got here on time today!!

I’m never VERY late (5-10 min), but I’m always rushing out the door, stressing over traffic, etc. I love my snooze button, I love taking my time showering, I’m indecisive on what to wear, I never prepare my coffee thermos until the last minute, etc!! Often I bike to work so that means packing my business clothes, makeup, etc. I hate the stress of it!! Of course, the boss is never there on time either…
