Well, I missed my first 0630 wake up call this morning.

But I was up to 0400 so there were extenuating circumstances - that’s the problem with having a mind on fire with ideas.

Which reminds me - whenever you get those great ideas (and we all have them more frequently than we think) - WRITE THEM DOWN.

You may think you’ll remember them but trust me it’s like trying to catch water in your hands - record them as fast and as soon as you can.

Wishing you the best of success,

Day 1 of the I Got Off My Assets early morning awakening drive as laid out yesterday.

Up at 0630 - and it’s a bank holiday.

100% record

All the best,
Tom

I’m writing this piece not as a New Year’s resolution - the timing is coincidental.

You see, we all have our foibles and ‘getting up’ has been one of mine recently - whereas I used to get up at an early hour, of late I have slipped into the shady underworld of the duvet darkness…

Yes, it’s nice to have a lie in, being all toasty in bed whilst the world awakens to a chilly or more often than not chilly and wet start here in the UK.

But I’ve decided to change my course and arise early - 0630 or earlier on weekdays and 0730 or earlier on weekends. And I’ve got to do this 25 out of the next 30 days - more on that later.

Why am I telling you?

Simple.

It’s a matter of committment, every little bit of extra pressure exerted on me will help me achieve this goal. I’ll post back in here over the coming month to see how the tally is progressing…

Why 30 days? Well we are creatures of habits - if you can establish a new habit for 30 days, you are very likely going to keep that habit going - this information has been known for several decades dating back to the early Space program with NASA. I’ll touch on that in another post in due course.

Why 25 out of 30?

Ahh, good question - I’m only human after all

Wishing you the best of success in 2006,
