rise

I am not a morning person. I have a really hard time waking up and getting out of bed. Over the years, I have learned that when it really matters I can get up when I need to.

I found this glimpse into Benjamin Franklin's daily schedule and liked his way of planning out his day. Aside from two hour lunches, four hours in the evening to straighten up the clutter and seven hours of sleep a night, I like his way of looking at his morning. Instead of waking, he rises and he gives himself three hours to do so. I think I shall rise too. Oh wait that means I have to wake up at 0500...

mr. franklin's schedule from here.
