If you are like me, if you don’t write things down or type it into Evernote, then you will forget it ten minutes later. Personally I’m a fan of Evernote, but if you don’t mess with technology a leather binder will do the job just fine.
If you don’t write or type a to-do list yet, then here are 3 reasons why writing everything down is so important:
People ask me a lot, “Are you a morning or a night person?”
My answer is always, “I’m a night person trying to become a morning person.”
Then that’s always followed with, “Why?”
Well, it seems that the most successful people are morning people. They are excited about the day and want to get a start at it, instead of waking up late and almost dreading the day.
I’ll give one example of a person that benefitted from waking up early.
He rose early to write letters and journal. This is how we know so much about him. I mean he was a very successful dude. The list really goes on and on, but when I try to think of a ton of successful people that are known for staying up late, my mind draws a blank. Let me know if you can think of one.
I know some of you will disagree with me. I’m sure you’ve done tons of successful college work at 2am.
Again, my body wants to be up past midnight, but that’s an area I need more discipline in.
Anyways…
Are you a morning or night person?
