The Getting Up Earlier Matter

This is the first post that I'm doing in the midst of the day. The previous ones were written in midnight when people are sleeping. Living like a nocturnal have been my daily routine these days. Staying up too late and getting up 10 a.m was not a good thing, but I'm used to. And I was okay.

I was okay.

Actually, I was looking for an excuse to ensure myself that my lifestyle was acceptable. Well, people said that college students should stay up past midnight. You know you're not too young when you decide to sleep at maximum 00.00 everyday. The groovy sleepy feeling you have when doing your activities past midnight somewhat addictive, too. For me, it feels like you're escaping from conformity, seeking for uniqueness as a nocturnal creature.

Soon, being a nocturnal brings some problems, First, my parents always ask me why I wake up damn late. Even though I'm in the final semester, I still have some responsibility in my study. Yes, thesis! And I made excuse that I stayed up late for doing my thesis. Looking back at the reality, the perfect internet connection in the midnight would not let me leave Youtube or other heavy-byte sites. The temptation was just too strong, In the end, the thesis was not written at all.

The second problem is... the nature of myself as a dreamer. I always believe that ability to imagine what you want to reach is a blessing. People can be pessimistic, but I always make positive reasoning in my mind. It might be almost half of your achievement. Walt Disney once said "If you can dream it, you can make it." Dreaming can be fascinating, planning how you achieve it is also exciting. Nah, the moment your brain's capacity is only about dreaming, writing a thesis is quite impossible. Thus, once again, I left my thesis untouched in its folder.

This is frustrating.

Based on yesterday's post, I really practice doing things efficiently today. Well, it was not easy in the morning. Getting up at 6 a.m. tortured me because I used to wake up at least 8 a.m. Yeah, I did it anyway.

And it is proven that I can work more efficiently. Your brain is completely fresh and you can understand information easier. Thus, writing and searching for the thesis is more enjoyable than midnight work. Perhaps, I have to say that it feels like saving myself from a future mess. Changing myself, starting from as simple as getting up earlier, delivers a great progress. And it feels good, too.

I really hope that I will keep doing this. And writing both the thesis and my Manager's Diary.

Hope it inspire you. Now, get up and do something new. The only way to grow up is to walk out from your comfort zone a.k.a being a nocturnal creature.
