Whee, what a question. Discipline, I suppose. Discipline isn’t something you’re born with, either. It’s practiced. Every moment of every day. But in the end you’re being accountable to yourself. If you can’t, ask yourself why.
I know I have to get out of bed, I know I have to do it at that moment or I’ll be late for work. I need a longer startup period than a lot of people. In general conversations, I notice a trend that women tend to want the extra time in the mornings than a lot of men. They mostly seem all right with flying out of bed, putting on clothes and heading out the door.
I need coffee, I need time, I need to not feel rushed. I know this about myself, and so I have disciplined myself to not fall back asleep or hit the snooze button. It’s a conscious choice that I make to ensure that it will set a positive tone for the day.
While it may appear that I overanalyze the situation, it’s necessary for me to know what makes me tick and what helps to make me productive.
Your mileage may vary.
