usually i don’t have to b at work til noon and so i’d sleep until like 10 or 10:30. which made me feel like shit. now ive been hitting a nice 8:30 and working out or going for a walk or exploring before work and i feel sooo much better
i love the feeling of getting up and having a productive morning, even if just that productivity is getting up, getting dressed, and going for a nice lil walk.
my job forcibly turned me into a morning person but i’m enjoying it!
a couple years ago my friend would make plans with me ~9-10am and we'd stop hanging out at 2 and go "holy shit there's like, a whole day left" even though we'd already been going for four or five hours which would not feel true if we started at say, 11-12
recently have been trying this new thing where i shift my working hours forward so i'm online from 7-3 or even 8-4 instead of 9-5 and it's similarly liberating; it's just rewarding to take back your own time a little bit and feel like "because i woke up earlier there's more time in my day"
