A month ago, in a hotel in Doha, this alarm clock tried to destroy my self-worth. Here´s how I fixed that.
Just look at how HUGE the ‘Snooze button’ is.
I learned from optimizing websites for the best user experience:
“Make the function you want people to use (or they will use the most) as big and obvious as possible.”
Apparently, it is: “Break commitments you made to yourself.”
Undermining your self-image every day.
Do I always want to get out of bed early in the morning?
Hell no. I know what it is like.
But at these times, a simple rule comes to my rescue.
I learned it from reading the book ‘The 5 Second Rule’ by Mel Robbins.
As you might have guessed from the title…
Whenever you don’t want to do something (like get out of bed),
count down: “5, 4, 3, 2, 1,” … and just do it.
There is a whole study behind it, but the most important thing: It works!
(And it is super simple)
Give it a try.
Beat the Snooze Button 😉
