It takes the average American 24 minutes to get out of bed.
Based on my experience as a Morning Routine Coach, it's not always because we're too tired.
It's because we're getting out of bed without a purpose.
Here are 3 goals to set if you want to get out of bed faster & with purpose:
Goal #1: Set alarm for time you want to wake up for you
Most of us set our alarm for the time we need to wake up for work.
What if you set your alarm for the time you wanted to wakeup to do something for you?
Something that feels very purposeful for you?
Journal
Workout
Just sit outside with your coffee
Starting your day on your terms is more motivating than starting on someone else's.
But what about when that alarm does go off…
Goal #2: Only hit snooze once
If you’re a frequent snoozer, going from hitting snooze 5x to 0x can feel unrealistic.
Set an intentional goal to:
Only hit snooze once
Create a “sleep buffer” that allows you 10 minutes to slowly wake up
It's the sweet spot between not rushing out of bed and still getting up in a timely manner.
But be aware of what you could plan to do in the morning to make getting out of bed easier…
Goal #3: Do something you crave
Many of us try to force ourselves to do things in the morning we don't naturally want to do.
When choosing what to do for your morning routine, make sure it’s something your brain or body craves in the morning.
(besides laying in bed)
Do you feel most creative in the morning?
Do you need slower activities in the morning?
Do you want to get organized in the morning?
Get in tune with what you need (and how the other people in your home operate), and sync your schedule accordingly.
Plan smarter, not harder!
