I always believe that getting an early start on the day is the best way to go. You have the opportunity to get focused early on and tackle the day's tasks and projects with little to no distractions. Then, when the rest of the world wakes up, you're already a few hours ahead of the game.
There are many benefits of being an early riser, but the most important, long lasting and powerful effect of this is that you will grow an eye for the opportunities. You will learn how to wake up on something just before anybody else does, being it a career opportunity, a new relationship opportunity or just something that nobody sees yet. You will be trained to spot that subtle movement which will lead to something extraordinary. Since you've been already convinced of those benefits of being an early riser, it's time for you to start doing it.
Don't make drastic changes. Start slowly, by waking just 15-30 minutes earlier than usual. Get used to this for a few days. Then cut back another 15 minutes. Do this gradually until you get to your goal time.
Put your alarm clock far from you bed. If it's right next to your bed, you'll shut it off or hit snooze. Never hit snooze. If it's far from your bed, you have to get up out of bed to shut it off. By then, you're up. Now you just have to stay up.
Make waking up early a reward. It might seem at first that you're forcing yourself to do something hard, but if you make it pleasurable, soon you will look forward to waking up early. Find something that's pleasurable for you, and allow yourself to do it as part of your morning routine.
Take advantage of all that extra time. Don't wake up early and waste that extra time. Get a jump start on your day!
