    How to Become a Morning Person?

    You have grand ambitions: to start a business, to write a book. But chances are you work long hours, or household responsibilities consume your days. By the time you finish all you have to do, you will have had no energy anything you want to do beyond turning on the TV.

    Yet some busy people do make time for their priorities. The secret is giving the most attention to at the very beginning of a day. They get up earlier than they have to. Morning by morning, they make progress on something matters.

    It's not fun to force yourself out of bed, but these early hours are often the best time to do things for yourself. With a little schedule reorganization, (become) a morning person is more doable than you think.

    I first learned that mornings be transformational years ago, when I was studying a busy lawyer's schedule. She wanted to spend more time with her son, but she had little control over when she left work. This state of affairs kept her sad she realized she and her son were both early risers and the morning time could be made full use of. After thinking it through, the lawyer decided to get up even earlier. Then, when the boy stepped into the dining room, she (finish) preparing a rich breakfast so they two could enjoy the meal to the fullest together.

    Mornings are also great for focused thinking. Getup an hour earlier, and you can knock out your most important task of the day. Or you can spare some time for those creative desires (bury) deep in your heart and hard to nurture.

    But many will argue:I'm not a morning person! The fact is that there are not so many true night owls. When most people take an honest look at they're spending the hours before bed, they'll find they have wasted much time on the TV programs they don't mean (watch). Also, they often browse through photos on social media of people they didn't like in high school anyway.

    A better approach is to sleep earlier, rise earlier and turn unproductive evening hours into productive morning hours.
