Every morning I struggle to wake up and go to work. Each morning I leave at the limit time and have to handle the crowded subway. New York's MTA was great. It had AC, no service (so you didn't see all the people scrolling down facebook or hearing their calls) and it was BIG. I mean it.Although sometimes it just stopped because there was train traffic ahead I know start to appreciate other key points. As I was facing this morning routine I decided to try something new out. I used to live with a friend who always went to sleep at 11 which made me do the same it was really good. So I said to myself I'll go to sleep at 11 PM so I can get more sleep. The morning after I woke up before my alarm clock and I was waiting for it to ring. I did some stretching I looked out the window and I left 7 minutes earlier home. Guess what?Magic happen! I am so SERIOUS. There were less people that I actually got to sit all the way to work. Usually I have to try read the mind of people and sit next to the person who gets off at the earliest station or my newest trick sit next to elderly people cause they get off quicker. I got even at work earlier and didn't have to face the crowded elevator with all those ciggaret stinking people. Furtheremore more I was there when my manager send an e-mail to my team that we are not respecting our regular working schedule. GREAT!
As this started out as I pilot project I tested it for 2 weeks and it is the best thing ever. So I thought I share maybe it will make a difference in your life too.
One more thing. Try the subway at 6:20 AM. It's like time travelling. You get to see such a different perspective. The weirdest thing was that it is so empty that you hear the noise of the elevator stair. Elder people with no gadgets. No loud headphone music. It was the best.
47 min to sleep and I wanna read so .. take my advice and try it out.
