Well. I am thinking—have been for some time actually—of doing one of those 30-day experiments. This one would be about getting up “early”, or as folks used to blog about, “early rising”.
The gratuitous context
I need quiet time in the morning—must get Bible reading, and need quiet time to pray too. I have things to do (sometimes work work, sometimes not). I have books to read. I have drivel to write. I have various other ideas the execution of which would take time and I don’t manage time well. And I have a number of persons to do mountains better at caring for, and God willing, another of those arriving later this year.
The timid plan
Possibly it’s 20 days I should be trying for. I don’t know. I think I’ll try for 30, because at this point 20 seems so tinily monumental that why not try for 10 days more at that point.
So: 30 days of getting up before noon at [REDACTED]. (I will also accept one hour later than that.)
To do this sustainably, I must actually get to bed before midnight by [REDACTED]. Ideally it would be an hour or so before then even, but that’s the latest. Ideally. If I do miss [REDACTED], then I should still try to get up by at most an hour after [REDACTED], but then I need to try to get to bed that night before [REDACTED].
The tentative execution
I hope to start tomorrow.
So good evening, gentle readers, wherever you may be. Even if most of you reside in my imagination. 🥱
