My dad used to drag me out of my bed by my right leg long after I was supposed to be up. Me + early mornings used to = grumpy/nasty/run away from me now.
And now I get up at 5 to get stuff done!
It only took me 4 years, 5 weeks and a day or so to figure out that 1.5 hours at 5 in the morning is more productive than 40 hours spent at school all week.
At home at 5 a.m.:
- I can work in my pajamas
- I can drink as much tea as I want
- I don't have to supervise anybody while I grade
- I can listen to NPR while I work
- No one asks me what they missed yesterday
- I don't have to get up if I don't want to
- I don't have to stay seated if I don't want to
- I can eat my breakfast while I work
- I can take a shower in between papers
- I can use my Mac instead of my less-than-stellar desktop at school
- Grade one class all in one sitting and not lose my chain of thought
