Tips To Become A Morning Person

One of the things about looking for a job is that it is important to get “up and at ‘em” as it were. That like the addage says, “The early bird gets the worm.” But many people, and myself included have a hard time being a morning person. This article in the International Hearld, by Melinda Beck of the Wall Street Journal, details how you can learn to live like an Early Bird.

My take on all this is that yes, it is very important to be a morning person, to get to work on time or early and to function well. It is true that the people who get up early do rule the world. But, also I recommend that you try and live within yourself as well. If you just really can’t do it, that is get up and out and alerty function in your job on time, then you shouldn’t try to do it. Why show up for work at 7, when your dead … and you don’t function well. Sure, others might not be there and mightnot really notice, but your work performance will suffer. So if you can’t, then don’t force yourself.

For those of us in the other bucket, the “maybes”, then you should at least give it a very good try. I might could adjust myself to become a morning person.

In all fairness, whatever way you try to be, definately work on your job search IN THE MORNING. It is important to start communicating and working on fiding that good job before noon. And if some of these tips help you accomplish that, then my job here is done - I’ve helped you get started earlier and that’s a good thing.

I really loved her joke about sleeping to the crack of noon! I died laughing!

So — read the little article, learn from it. Get up a little earlier, or at least try to. And a thing of advice from me. If you go to bed, and tell yourself convincingly that “I will wake up in the moring on time and alert and full of enery” you’ll be surprised what really happens!
