Phone Addiction

I woke up at 5am this morning, and I went to bed at 8pm last night. I got plenty of sleep, and it feels fantastic. Mainly because I don’t feel like I’m behind immediately upon waking up, I feel in front of my day. What I’ve learned is that after the sun sets, the only thing I have been doing is watching Netflix or YouTube. But going to bed at 8pm forces me not to do that. I’ve realized that it’s the bad behaviors that are much more likely to happen at night, so just don’t give them time to manifest themselves and go to bed early, so that you can wake up early & start your day, do your morning practice, then get to work. 

The main thing I’ve been dealing with is sabotaging my sleep, by going to bed late and sleeping in past 6am. It’s been a terrible little pattern I’ve gotten myself into, but this morning, and every morning after is different. I will be going to bed early and not touching my phone after dark, then waking up at 5am & getting my day started. 

My phone is highly addicting, and if I can eliminate the need to check it or be on it, the better my life will be and the more productive I will be. I am most productive in the morning of the day, so the first thing I do every day, before doing anything else, is the one thing I. Need to do for that day.
