Get promoted in 10 minutes

Getting to work in the morning can be one of the most stressful events of the day. In just a short amount of time we must attempt to get ready, eat something, drive to work, and get started on daily tasks. If you’re like me, you push the snooze button 5 times before you force yourself to wake up and by the time you wake up, you’re running late already. This endless cycle of running late in the morning wears on us and makes getting to work in the morning one of the worst parts of the day.

What we need to do to fix this problem is just a little bit of discipline. All you need to do to get a better start on your day is to set your alarm 10 minutes earlier than normal and wake up as soon as it rings without pushing the snooze. The best way to accomplish this is to put the alarm away from arms reach. If you have to get up to push the button it will be easier to get up and stay up. It takes some discipline to get into this routine, but it is completely worth it.

Just think of what you can accomplish with that extra 10 minutes if you use it wisely. Having more time to eat will give you more energy. Having time to take a longer shower can make you feel more alive and happy in the morning. How about beating traffic by a few minutes and getting to work early! Trust me, if 8am comes and you’re already hard at work instead of just sitting down you will be that much more successful. You will also look better to your boss if you come into work seeming brighter, more cheerful, and prepared.

Some people think that getting a promotion is a difficult task that takes a lot of butt kissing. It’s not true. All you need is a little discipline.
