Today is day 2 of the Rise Early challenge. My goal is to get up at 6 am. Yesterday it was closer to 6:30. Today was 6:10. So I am not there yet, but hopefully tomorrow. Today's challenge was to name your alarm clock. He said to stop looking at it as an annoying thing, but as a friend. So we are to name it and say good morning ______________ each day. I find this weird, but am committed to the project. So today my clocks name is Bertha. That is the first name I thought of. I don't really think I would be friends with a Bertha. So if you have a better name for my clock let me know. Even though Asher got up only minutes after me today, I still accomplished a lot by 9 am. I chose to stop at 9 because that is normally when we start school. So before class started I got the following done.
Read the challenge in the book
Did my devotions
Journaled
Read 2 chapters in the current book I am reading
2 loads of laundry washed and one dry, the other in the dryer
Washed all the dishes from yesterday
Made breakfast
Cleaned up the breakfast mess
Folded 3 loads of laundry and put it away
Checked my email and responsed to messages
Picked up the living room
I was amazed as I typed this at all I got done. I may not like mornings but seeing this list makes me really want to continue this new habit!
