A solid morning routine can't be had without actually getting out of bed. Initially, i reverse-engineered my morning starting with when i left for work and decided that i needed to be up by 6:10. Only three days into the challenge and i'm already making changes.
I checked TimeAndDate.com and found that the earliest sunrise all year is 5:52am. This occurs in June. I want to beat the sun. Therefore, i will begin waking up at 5:51 on a daily basis.
However, easier said than done. So far the snooze has been my best friend. (and worst enemy) Here's how the mornings have panned out so far:
Day 1: Alarm at 6:10, hit snooze until 6:40
Day 2: Alarm at 5:51, hit snooze until 6:30. Woke up to a snow-covered driveway that i was able to shovel before i left for work. Would have been impossible on a typical day when i'd sleep until i absolutely HAD to get up.
Day 3: Alarm at 5:51, hit snooze once and was out of bed by 6:10. Was able to shovel the driveway and throw dinner in the slow cooker.
Although i haven't been up as early as planned, the extra time in the morning has made me more productive. Hoping a "crash" isn't in my future.
