The First Step II - Immediate Action

'Nothing will work unless you do.' - Maya Angelou

Here are my goals with regards to the first step:

1. I will get approximately 8 hours of uninterrupted, fulfilling and refreshing sleep per night.
2. I will be up at 06:30.

Why approximately? I'll elaborate on that when I outline the Sleep Protocol in another post. The initial task however is to get into a good cycle in a relatively painless manner. I got up at 11:30 on Tuesday and 10:45 today. Tomorrow my goal is to get up at 10:00. Each day I'll pull it in a little more until, voila, 06:30 arrives.

Now you might say, why not just get up at 06:30 tomorrow regardless of when you get to sleep tonight (which is not likely to be before 02:00) and slog it out the whole day till you collapse of exhaustion at around 22:30 or whatever. Well, first of all, I've been through enough of such attempts to realize that I become a thoroughly miserable person and I don't like it. At least this way I stand a chance of still being productive each day. Secondly, the name of this blog is incremental transformation, not sudden transformation. Little pieces I can manage. Maybe I'm being weak or even cowardly. All I care right now is for the result. If it doesn't work, we can always try sudden and drastic later on.
