Not setting an alarm but waking up early anyway

i love being up early even when i don’t have morning plans. i can take my time enjoying breakfast, playing my little games, journaling, and stretching all without a rush. easing into the day and reveling in the quiet, gentle morning hours is a blessing! time feels more spacious!

MAKE PLANS WITH OTHER PEOPLE, IF YOU CAN

They’ll get you up and out, especially if you can schedule morning activities. also, if you have friends who work or are morning people, text them when you wake up and maybe they can help you stay accountable and get going. Or if people in your house get up for work, get up with them and have coffee or breakfast together. Socializing might be the best way to wake up your brain. The simplest change that helped me the most was going to bed and waking up at the same times every day. And then no naps. Make the bed when you get up so it isn’t so tempting during the day. If you want to challenge yourself, look for a job or volunteering opportunities.

Starting ur day with a chore/task

Hear me out: as someone who works from home, I spent many months waking up, walking to the couch, and opening my laptop. By noon, I felt sluggish, lethargic. Starting my day with an action (ie unloading the dishwasher) helped me to feel more motivated and grounded!

unplatform - a guide for leaving social media

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post.
it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library.
additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!
