My new long term challenge.

Bucket list goal #509 is to become an early riser. So here's the deal.

I have always been an extremely lazy person, and unless it was necessary for me to wake up early, I used to sleep in everyday until midday or 1:00 pm. However, when I first moved in with Georgia I was unintentionally waking up at 5:30 every morning nad it felt amazing, I had more time, I felt super productive, I got loads of personal work done and was creating tons of content, and after a while I looked forward to waking up early and starting my day feeling refreshed and ready and wanted to really have a steady hold on this new found habit. But then, towards around February or March there was an abrupt decline in my progress and realised that it had not yet even become a habit, and when I tried to make it into a proper habit I got lazy and no longer found it as easy as it had been before Christmas when, in all honesty, all my habits starting to decline in progress. Nevertheless, I want to be able to get back into the routine that I was starting to create as I find that, it not only suited me rather well, but it also aided me on my journey to becoming a more constant and regular currator of content and a better videographer and YouTuber.

Furthermore, Benjamin Franklin once said "early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." And I was finding that this was infact the case, I could feel the productivity and the progress that I was making towards my career and my life in general, and I still believe that if I get back on track and heaad down the road I was heading I will finally become the healthy, wealthy, and wise person that I aspire to become. And thus, I shall be setting my alarm to 6:00am every single day and I will force myself to wake up promptly. This personal goal will continue for potentially several months until I feel it has become a proper habit. According to James Clear it takes 66 days to form a habit, and so that is how long this challenge will last until I can truly call myself an early riser and finally be able to tick it off my list.

Npw, you may be curious as to why I decided to wake up at 6:00am? Even if you're not, I will tell you nonetheless. I won't be naming any names (because I can't remember who said it) but I read an article online several weeks ago concerning productivity and waking up early and the dude that wrote the article suggested that in order to be better prepared for your day, and to be more productive on should wake up at least 3 hours before work, thus, 6:00 am.

Wish me luck!
