  2. Six Tips for becoming an Early Bird • “The early bird catches the worm.” That saying might seem a bit outdated, but it still holds some validity, especially in the life of a freelancer. Many freelancers are night owls, but that is often neither productive nor healthy. Waking up in the small hours of the day will seem like a burden at first. When you get into the habit of it, however, it feels much better than tolling away at your computer after midnight. • If you would like to shake up your schedule a bit by starting your day earlier keep reading. Here are six easy to follow steps towards becoming an early bird:

  3. Six Tips for becoming an Early Bird

  4. 1) Stick to the schedule • First of all, if you want to start waking up early, half measures aren’t going to cut it. Set your alarm for the preferred time and abide to it. This includes going to bed at the right time, too. A typical healthy sleep can be anywhere between six and eight hours, depending on the person. Find out what works for you and stick to it.

  5. 2) Wake up with music • Tip number two is a personal recommendation of mine. Waking up to my favorite tunes never fails to cheer me up and get me ready for the day. Alarm sounds can be annoying and associating waking up with a negative emotion is not a good idea. Listening to some music for a couple of minutes before coming from underneath the covers can do wonders for you.

  6. 3) Place your wake-up device away from the bed • Whether you wake up with your phone, have a radio alarm clock or any other wake-up device, keep it away from your bed. Shutting it off and convincing your sleepy brain that you are absolutely only going to shut your eyes for another five minutes has caused a lot of people being late.

  7. 4) Stop hitting the snooze button • The arch enemy of waking up early is the snooze button. It is so tempting to press it over and over again. But while it feels satisfying at the moment, it’s not really doing you any good. You can’t fall into a deep sleep for 10 minutes. Personally, I feel much more tired if I wake up after pressing the snooze button a couple of times than if I just get up at the first sound of my alarm.

  8. 5) Don’t fall asleep with your laptop or other electronic device • Watching some TV, YouTube videos or surfing around on your tablet before bed is another pretty bad habit some people have. The constant light and noise will often prevent you from having a healthy sleep and annoy you when waking up. Turn those computers off or at least make sure they go into sleep mode themselves.

  9. 6) Have something to look forward to in the morning • Last but not least – work on some positive reinforcement. Have something that you love standing up for. For me, it’s music. A good breakfast is another think I look forward to every morning. Some people do exercise. Whatever it is, have something to do in the morning that makes you feel good. Once you get into the habit of repeating that action early, you will want to get out of bed just so you can do it.
