Benefits of Sleeping and Waking up Earlier

Waking up early is always something I hated, the same thing goes with sleeping earlier, I always felt like I could get more work done by staying up late. Well, after going to bed no later than 11 pm and waking up no later than 6 am I’ve noticed a huge difference in productivity and I feel a lot more energy and refreshed! Here are most of the benefits I’ve been beginning to notice while doing this.

1. I wasn't tired during the day.

Being tired during the day and active at night is one of the most common problems I see between teens and adults, however, waking up early might change that feeling of being groggy and lethargic during the day. Since you’re going to bed earlier and waking up early you’re getting a full 8 hours of sleep, and by doing this every day it sets your sleep cycle up, and your body becomes aware of when it’s time to sleep and when it’s time to wake up. After doing this for a few days, I noticed that I could barely keep my eyes open past 9:30 and I woke up with tons of energy anywhere between 5:45 and 6:15, which were the normal times I was waking up.

2. I was more productive.

Waking up early contributed to being more productive throughout the day, well, at least for me. By the time it was 8:00 am I had already read for 30 minutes, meditated for 10-15 minutes, did my hair, got dressed, brushed my teeth, washed my face and ate breakfast, and I was refreshed and ready to start my day! I also didn’t use my phone until 8:00 because I wanted to give my brain at least 2 hours to recharge and remain relaxed before reading social media and checking my email.

3. The days lasted longer.

Don’t you wish summer lasted forever? Well, it can’t last forever, but you can make the days seem way longer, by waking up earlier, every day seemed to go on and on because I was awake for so much longer during the daytime which made the days seem more longer than if I stayed awake at night.

4. I made fewer mistakes.

When I worked at night every task, I would do seemed to take a lot longer, and I made more mistakes. I also tended to multitask and fail a lot more of the time.

Well, those are all the benefits I’ve noticed so far! Keep in mind though that everyone is different and you may not experience the same benefits. Or you may experience different benefits it all depends I do, however, highly recommend trying it! If you do let me know how it turns out for you :) I’d love to hear about it.

The Number One BEST Broswer to Enhance Productivity

Productivity is one of my favorite words. Every single day I try to be as productive as I possibly can by slamming my to-do list with tasks I know I can accomplish in a day. I end up usually accomplishing everything, most of the stuff I work on doesn’t require internet, but once I’m done with everything I usually just browse the web, however, I still like to remain productive even when I’m just browsing the web, and that’s why I highly, HIGHLY!!! Recommend Opera. Opera is sort of like Google Chrome except uhm… WAY BETTER (in my opinion) It has a super clean layout. A very clean way of adding bookmarks (you can even add thumbnails) and my favorite part, it has a little button on every single video you watch so you can minimize the video and watch it while doing anything. This is my favorite thing to use when I want to watch tv shows while I’m animating on my laptop or working on some cover art for clients or just for my portfolio in general. It really makes the project...

You’re sitting in a huge mansion, relaxing with a cup of lemonade staring out of a large window with the sun shining brightly in your eyes, you’re a lot older and retired from your job. You have everything you could ever want and not a problem in the world. The only way you can enter this stage is by hustling, grinding, working hard and not stopping until you accomplish that goal!!

My Morning Routine

I love reading about peoples morning routines; they help give me more motivation, and sometimes I test out a few to see how well they work out for me. Well, today I will be telling you about the best morning routine that I’ve been doing for the past week or so. This post will be relatively short because I know how precious your time is and you don’t want to be wasting it reading about my morning routine. So the night before I spend about 20-30 minutes planning the next day using the millionaire day planner: (which you can download here http://productivity-podcast.com ) After planning the next day, I set my alarm for 6:00am, put on my earbuds, and listen to either a podcast about productivity or a motivational mantra. When I wake up in the morning, I brush my teeth, wash my face, etc. Then I meditate for 10 minutes. After I finish meditating I grab a book and read until 7:00. I then go downstairs and eat breakfast, while I’m eating I begin writing in my journal until 8:00. Once it...
