Good Habit: Waking Up Early

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

There are a lot of people who have a problem in waking up early.  Well, it feels good to sleep.  There are also people who are blessed enough to wake up early in the morning, some don’t even need an alarm clock.

The hardest part could be rising from your bed.  The clock has alarmed but yet, its hard to rise from bed.  Then there is the snooze as well.  Even if you have snoozed the alarm clock several times, you’re still in bed staying idly.  Maybe you need to place the clock far from your bed so that you won’t be able to put it off or snooze it easily.  But what do we benefit if we wake up so early?  A lot!

Waking up early can give you more time to do things you need to do and finish some tasks.  The early you wake up, the sooner you get things done for the day which means you will have more extra time for yourself.  Rising up few minutes after you’ve awaken will help you avoid procrastination.  You get more motivated if you wake up early.  The longer you stay in your bed awake will lose you some energy that may lead to procrastination.

All it takes is to make it a habit of yours to rise up early.  Once it has become a habit, it will be easier for you to do it.  Practice to do it everyday and you will eventually be an early riser.

How to Enjoy Your Job

Friday, April 11th, 2008

Each person has his own taste or preference over things. Some persons may enjoy charitable works while others may not. But what if you are faced with something that you are not interested in and something that you think you’ll never enjoy? You may feel like a prisoner wanting to get freed of such task. Here are some pointers to help you:

  • Think of the positive things about your task. For sure, you think of it in the negative aspect. Every fault that you can find about it are all in your mind already. Think of the benefits of the task and you will somehow realize that it isn’t bad after all.
  • Be with people who enjoy the task. Surround yourself with people who are enthusiastic with the job. Do not spoil their enthusiasm by complaining and saying negative things about them or the job. Instead, get influenced by them.
  • Enjoy being with others in the job. You may not necessarily do the job with them or talk about the job all the time. But you may enjoy their company. As you enjoy being with them, you may eventually enjoy doing the job as well.

Enjoying your job or even just the simplest task you have at home will help you get motivated and succeed with it. Instead of procrastinating over it, find ways on how to enjoy your job or task so that you will finish it on time.
