Fall Behind for Better Habits

Have you been wanting to have a more structured day, create a different routine, or add in something you can't find time for, like regular exercise? Me too. I'm using Daylight Savings Time to kick that off, and you can, too.

Usually, I get up at 9 (I'm not a morning person), pee, wash my face, feed the cats, eat, and get ready for work. Now that we did "fall behind" last weekend, my body is used to getting up at what was 9am, and is now 8am. I took advantage of that last night by preparing for this morning; I set my alarm for 8. I spent about a half hour "wasting time" laying in bed, waking slowly, petting a cat, then got up and started my day. By 9, I was in exercise clothes and leaving my house. I went for a little walk, listened to a podcase, and was home by 930 (also have a phone alarm set so I'll get home in time), to shower, eat, and get ready for work. Thankfully, I have no commute.

There was nothing difficult about that. I don't believe resolutions have to start with the New Year, and you can make a change any time. Use what is convenient, like not shifting your sleep schedule, to start where you are at.
