So, it seems I created a slight hullabaloo in my D.E.S.I.G.N your practice routine when I told people to get out of bed earlier in the morning to practice IF they found that practicing at night was hit or miss.

The general sentiment is, "Are you out of your mind? I'm not getting up earlier to practice guitar"

Well, it can be done, you just have to make up your mind to do it.

So, if you are serious about trying this, check out Dave Cheong's blog " Waking Up Early - 15 Tips That Work". He provides some insight on how to stop hitting that snooze button in the morning and start hitting those chords.

One of the tips that I plan to use myself is ....

7. Jump out of bed.

One trick I’ve found to be very effective in being an early riser and to stop myself from rationalizing is to simply jump out of bed instantly. Once I am outside the comforts of the warm and cozy bed, I’m more likely to actually wake up and stay up. Someone once suggested to me by leaving the bedroom immediately, you also leave no doubt about your intentions to actually wake up and start doing things. Jumping out of bed and leaving the room actually works. They have prevented me from sleeping in on many a cold winter morning.

I am a notorious snoozer "just one more snooze", "just a second one-more snooze". I am going to try this one tomorrow.

Good Luck!
