I don’t think it is physically possible for me to be a morning person. This may be a problem in the coming college years! I would definitely consider myself a night owl. I get my best video ideas and editing done during the night time. Unfortunately, this causes my mornings to be not so fun. Waking up early can actually increase productivity, and improve your health and make you more optimistic! Here is how to trick your body into become a morning person.

1. Sleep with your head elevated and spine aligned: When you wake up fully rested, you are bound to have a great morning. Sleeping with your head elevated and spine supported leads to better sleep and less pain during the day.


2. Motivate yourself with food: That’s right, bribe yourself shamlessly. Plan out your breakfast the night before, like a yummy breakfast sandwich or a fruity protein shake, and give yourself something to look forward to when you wake up. Also, have your coffee pot scheduled to start brewing in the morning so you wake up to the smell of fresh coffee. MMmmmm.


3. Get a new before-bed hobby: Do something before bed that doesn’t use a screen. I have talked about “blue light” before, which is a type of light your phone, laptop, and TV screens give off that can stop melatonin release. This inhibits a restful sleep! Instead of having before-bed screen time, read a book or color in a coloring book to calm you down.

Good luck on your journey to becoming a morning person! I am right there with you, girl.

How to Get Things Done Even When you Really Don"t Want to

How to Get Things Done Even When you Really Don"t Want to

To me, one of the worst feelings is knowing I have a ton of stuff to do but not wanting to do a single bit of it. You know the feeling, I’m sure. It is summer, you are laying on the couch chilling, but your to-do list is running through your head and you are starting to get anxious about everything you have to get done. You would much rather watch one more episode of Gilmore Girls than pick up your summer homework or clean your house like your mom asked you to. We all want to be productive, but sometimes we lack the motivation. Here are 4 ways to get things done when you flat out don’t want to.

1. Keep the goal in mind: if you just remember why it is important that you get your task done, and put things into perspective, it can help you stay motivated to start and finish.
2. Start with the worst: If you start with your least favorite task first, then the rest of the list won’t seem so bad! If you really hate running errands or cleaning bathrooms or doing homework, then do those first thing, and then you will feel relieved and motivated to power through the rest of your to-dos.
3. Change your perspective: Rather than grumbling about how much you hate this and would rather be doing other things, give yourself a positive pep talk. Next time you are tempted to complain about a task and put it off, try and think to yourself that you can do it, and if you get it done now you will have time to do things you like later.
4. Bribe yourself: Our brains are wired to seek reward. So, next time you have a to-do list a mile long, tell yourself, for example, that you will work on it for an hour and a half, then you can have a break and watch one episode of your favorite show. Then you will go back to your list, then rest. Taking breaks will keep you productive and motivated!

Now that you have these tips, your to-do list doesn’t stand a chance!
