I saw a link of a post on Facebook by my good friend, Tamara McCleary that said, “The Early Bird Gets The Worm.”

That was a great and cruel reminder on why it is always important to wake up early and get the most important work done right away.

Unfortunately, I did not followed that advice as I went back to sleep after waking up around 7:30 this morning

You see, when you wake up early and do the most important things like blogging, mediation, exercising, etc, you are setting yourself up for a very productive day.

Even if your day goes bad and of course, life happens, you will know how to handle it because you are in a right state of mind.

As a result of waking up late, I was in a rush to get things done like write this blog post for the second day of Natalie Sisson’s 15 day challenge and at the same time get in the processing of getting some of the 4,000 words as homework for a four week, self-publishing class that is being taught by Jimmy Burgess and Kimanzi Constable.

So after learning this brutal lesson on being productive when you wake up early, I will aim to wake up very early and get some writing done on my site for the rest of Ms. Sisson’s challenge and also as part of completing the homework assignment for the self-publishing class the first thing in the morning.

Even though it will be tempting to go back to sleep because of the “free time,” it will not be worth it because once you get something very important finished, you have all the time in the world to enjoy yourself and attend to other business like answering the e-mail or spending time on social media.

My goal is that I will continue to get in the habit of waking up early and writing everyday to keep the creativity flowing throughout the day.

Has waking up early and getting your work, also known as the Most Important Action M.I.A.* accomplished?
