If you work your lasy ass for 10 hours then you can go to sllep early and get up early do this for a whole week and you internal alarm will do this automatically, You will not need that alarm clock.

@ steph: thanks! will try and get hold of it!

@ nancy: thank you, will look it up!

@ lav: i think that’s pretty much my body schedule too ’cause i easily wake up by 7 am. changing it to a 530 am start is what’s the challenge :)

I am not a morning person. I have tried many tricks to help me stop snoozing my alarm clock. Finally I decided that I can be productive more by going along with my body schedule(11.00 PM-07.00 am). I have also found that if I tell myself repeatedly to wake up at a particular time, my body automatically wakes me up. Its weird but true in my case.

Zen Habits has a lot on this and many other ways to maximise your time: http://zenhabits.net/

He uses a modified version of Getting Things Done — which I agree is worth buying.

My #1 tip: buy a copy of Getting Things Done by David Allen and start using it. It will help you find a way to prioritize what you’re doing better (sort between the important and less important stuff) and free up time for the things that you really want to do in your life.

An eye-opener.

@ R: as i’ve mentioned in my expanded entry, caffeine is not my problem. i’m not a heavy consumer and i rarely drink carbonated drinks (unless i’m travelling!). i sleep really well, so that’s not a problem :)

@ Aqua: maydum, you are a night person for sure! :)

@ N: thanks! really interesting read there and i’ve used it in my expanded blog entry!

@ Usha: doesn’t work! tried sleeping at 930 pm but i still wake up late! when i mean late, i mean around 7–7.15 which i want to change to 530–600 at least!

@ arZan Says: hehe :) best of luck!

@ Shantanu: late nights, i don’t have much energy after already putting in a day’s work :(

@ Invisible China: yeah, my mind refuses to listen :)

@ dev: nights don’t work too well. i start feeling sleepy after a while. i usually do something after work like go out, go go for yoga, dinner, etc. so it’s too exhausting to sit after that and write :(

@ Ananya: it’s a lifelong struggle i think :)

My advise — Start writing at night. And if you are not a morning person, u r most likely to be a night person, so i guess you will write better at night anyways. Right ?

My Mom says — “Its all in U’r Mind” there is no need for alarm to ring, if YOU REALLY WANT TO WAKE UP or DO ANYTHING for that matter, It is TRUE :) Please tell few times that u want to wake up early @ so and so time — U will wake up — Its definitely a mind thing !!

If you are not a morning person, try late nights! Works for me. :-)
