The Best Minute: Waking up, remaining an amateur, and doing what is important
1 PERSONAL GROWTH SOLUTION FROM ME
If you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, try using a smart bulb.
With a smart bulb, you can set it to turn on at any given time, so that you are not waking up to a dark room. For me, I set mine on my dresser and have it turn on to a very dim setting 10 minutes before my alarm goes off. Once it is on, it slowly gets brighter and brighter. This way, when my alarm goes off, my room isn’t dark.
This small tweak has been one of the best things I have done to help me get out of bed in the morning.
