About

Simply, we would like to see how its to be an early riser. In our endeavour we shall list down what worked for us and what did not.

 


 

Why?

Wikipedia is our guiding light. This is what it had to say with respect to waking up early:

 

Waking up early is a productivity method of rising early and consistently so as to be able to accomplish more during the day. This method has been recommended since antiquity and is presently recommended by a number of personal development gurus. Benjamin Franklin wrote a book entitled Early rising: Natural, Social and Religious Duty.

 

Within the context of religious observances, spiritual writers have called this practice "the heroic minute," referring to the sacrifice that this entails.

 

Personal development writers have noted that waking up early can be developed through practice and correct preparation.

Our Approach

  • The Protocol: Follow a 3-way protocol for the first 7 days?  (As alarms don't/haven't workd for me :) - - One who gets up on time calls the other, till the other cancels the call. - -  Now the other calls back (as ack). One who innitiated cancels the call. - -  Now the one who initiated give a final ack which is then cancelled by the other.
  • (add others here)
