ClockThis weekend I did a lot of research around the blogsphere, and found myself stumbling on to all kinds of good reading.  I’d read one thing, then stumble onto five other things that peaked my interest…soon I found myself growing tired and wishing once again for more hours in the day to continue my studies.  Being in a small IT shop at a trucking company and a developer at heart, this seems to be a common daily request, too many tasks, too little time.  I’m sure this is something not unique to my situation.

I always think that maybe I should try to wake up earlier than I do and use this time for specific activities.  It seems my day starts with me rushing to get to work and then once I’m there, it’s general IT mayhem until the day ends…not much time for deviations, tangents or keeping on any sort of track.  As I was pondering this thought, a post caught my eye for two reasons.  1) it’s title was “how to become an early riser” and 2) the author is one that I have read a few posts from in the past, Steve Pavlina.

After reading through his post, I am not confident it will work for me at this time.  As I read through what he was proposing, it became clear I already do what he suggests, the only difference is my set point is 7AM, not 5AM.  The other constraint for me is we just had our fourth child less than a week ago, so the odds of me being able to sleep straight through the night for the next few weeks are slim and none! 

Even though I got my hopes up here for some magical answer in making my day more productive, I thought I’d be a good steward and pass this along, maybe there is some other nerd out there with poor sleeping habits who may benefit from this :)
