bahh!!! 1 day ago

I have been trying to do this for years!!!
I used to try 5Am, but I would settle for 7AM…:(



Goal: 4 weeks ago

My goal is to wake up around 5am or 6am every weekday, and no later than 10am on weekends / holidays. I will gradually start waking up earlier in small increments. (Currently 9am on weekdays, noon-5pm on weekends.)



Untitled 4 weeks ago

I’m tired of being tired all the time. Whenever I get into the habit of waking up early, I feel great, but the habit doesn’t last long. One morning, I’ll wake up a little later. Pretty soon I’m hitting the snooze button 4-5 times and feeling awful again.

I would really like to combine this with running. Maybe wake up at 5:30 every morning for a run.



Goal: wake up at before 5.30 for one month 1 month ago

I want to wake up before 5 for one month. Then if I feel that it is not worth, I will give up. Waking up very late in the morning really gets in my way a lot and probably is the key to start working on my life dreams, I believe. I am going to start my trial from Oct 11. Meanwhile, I am going prepare myself for that…Probably will move my wake up time from 9ish to 7ish, to help get started.

This is my preference 1 month ago

With certain of my friends, it’s very easy to fall into a cycle of hanging out till sunup and then crashing most of the morning away. Really, though, I’m a creature that needs sun, and the best way to catch more sun is to wake up earlier. Usually I’m up by 7, even after a late night out.



feel so good, but i can't keep it up 4 months ago

why oh why can’t i just wake up when i FIRST wake up!!! argggghhhh!! only got myself to blame :) so… now i self motivate. how? um…

I get 5 dollars every time I wake up by 8am. 5 days equals 25 dollars so by friday i can buy myself a shirt or something i normally wouldn’t – yay.

now i only have to remember this every morning… :P

Define "early" ... 5 months ago

Considering it’s the summer, I don’t mean wake up terribly early. I want to get up before 10 at least 30 times, and before 11 at least 60 times (that includes waking up before 10).

It’s early yet, so I’ve been sleeping in late. Here’s my progress:

Before 10: 30 / 30
Before 11: 60 / 60

I am an unabashed snooze-button hitter. 6 months ago

This is going to be ROUGH. College, and then years working at newspapers (doing the 3 p.m. to 1 a.m. shift!) has made me into a night owl. I have a 9-5 job now, and would like to wake up early to work out. I get enough sleep. The only thing keeping me from doing this is my own laziness!
