Early Rising
There are a few things that I’ve been wanting to do both in my personal and academic life. But the circumstances around me have always distracted me from doing so. Its normal here in campus to stay up really late and go about doing your own thing but I’ve realized that my actual productivity has been hardly anything on the days I work late, which, inevitably results in getting up late the next day. I’ve always been a morning person, probably due to the kind of upbringing I’ve had. There’s seems to be this high correlation between success and rising up early. So, with effect from tomorrow, I’ve decided to start my day early.

You bet, there is a very big correlation between waking up early and success. I am an early bird and I feel I have been successful as well. The key to waking up early is fixing a specific time for waking up, say 30 or 45 minutes before sunrise. You should say to yourself that no matter what time I go to sleep, I have to wake up at say 5.45 or 6 am. When you fix this, you will gradually get into the habit of sleeping at a time that gives you enough rest by your fixed wake up time. Try it out. Anwar
