I awoke this morning, at least an hour before I wanted to, to the sound of my dog gagging and retching in prequel to ralphing all over my carpet. I leaped from my warm,cozy, sun-drenched bed to sprint downstairs and let the dog out to sort out his digestive tract on his own. The cats began their morning chorus, "Feed us, or we'll puke, too....meow...." Ungluing my contacts from my eyelids as best as possible, I more or less dumped canned food on their plates, let the dog in, plunked down his breakfast, and shuffled back to bed. Could I fall asleep? No, of course not.But neither could I drag my butt out of bed. Even to make coffee.
Eventually, my morning officially began. Coffee. More cookies than wise. Breakfast for my kid. The "morning" routine before I put my kid on the bus at noon, and then....my time to sew.
Except for Netflix. And my nook. And video games. And my sunny bedroom with three napping cats....
And so, I asked myself what the 2%ers would do... You know, the top 2% of our culture who make 80% of the world's wealth. I asked myself, did I want to be one of those people who are selling their long arm on Craig's list because they thought they were going to start a business...and then didn't?
So, what do millionaires do to increase their productivity ? They work out. They plan their day. They listen to personal development materials. They get FIRED UP. Hmmm....
I could use to get fired up before quilting, IT'S COLD in my basement. So, I grabbed my iPod cued up with The 5 AM Miracle, my fitbit, and I walked for 45 minutes.
