Finding Extra Time in Your Day: A Simple yet Powerful Hack

Are you tired of feeling like you’re stuck in a never-ending cycle of busyness, with no time to breathe? I know the feeling. Just a month ago, I was drowning in a sea of responsibilities, from my full-time job to my blog and a project I’m launching in 2018. On top of that, my partner and I were house-hunting and moving in together. It was a perfect storm of stress.

Inspiration from a Fellow Blogger

That’s when I stumbled upon a post from Natalie Bacon, a personal finance blogger who swears by her 4:30 AM wake-up schedule. She, like me, has a full-time job, and getting a head start on her day has significantly boosted her productivity. It was the wake-up call I needed.

The Power of Small Changes

As someone who values a full eight hours of sleep, I knew I couldn’t suddenly switch to a 4:30 AM wake-up call. But I realized that I could operate on seven hours of sleep just fine. So, I decided to start small – really small – by waking up just 15 minutes earlier each day.

The #15MoreMin Experiment

It’s been a month since I started my #15MoreMin experiment, and the results have been amazing. Those extra 15 minutes have allowed me to tackle small tasks, practice gratitude, or simply enjoy some “me” time. It’s incredible how much more accomplished and less stressed I feel throughout the day.

The Key to Success

The secret to making this work is having a plan for those extra minutes. Make a list of tasks that will bring value and positivity to your day, and stick to it. Trust me, it makes all the difference.

Join the Challenge

If you’re struggling to find time in your day, I invite you to join me in reclaiming your morning. It doesn’t have to be an alarm clock adjustment – maybe you can cut back on social media or Netflix time. Take back those minutes and use them to boost your productivity and positivity. Share your progress on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #15MoreMin, and let’s do this together!
