The thing I changed about my routine is getting up early. It’s a big change for me actually, because I’m not an early bird. I usually spend my day sleeping, almost a half of my day, and staying up late all night. So I’m not really good at this, and this change really means a lot to me, because it makes me feel productive. makes me feel useful. I know it sounds ridiculous but sometimes when I don’t do the tasks that I need to do, I feel a guilt inside me. So this is something that actually makes me feel less guilt and more useful and makes me feel better. I’m sure that everyone would agree with me. and how I maintain it is that I read somewhere that if I drink a lot of water before I go to bed it makes me need to pee in the morning so when I wake up even though if I don’t want to get up I rush to the bathroom and I need to pee so this is actually a trick for me and I actually try to get tired the whole day so I can have so I can go to bed early and obviously going to bed early makes you get up early.

The change I made to my routine is getting up early. It's a big change for me, actually, because I'm not an early bird. I usually spend my day sleeping, almost half of my day, and staying up late all night. So I'm not really good at this, and this change means a lot to me because it makes me feel productive and useful. I know it sounds ridiculous, but sometimes when I don't complete the tasks I need to do, I feel guilt inside me. This change actually helps me feel less guilt and more useful, which makes me feel better. I'm sure everyone would agree with me. How I maintain it is that I read somewhere that if I drink a lot of water before I go to bed, it makes me need to pee in the morning. So when I wake up, even if I don't want to get up, I rush to the bathroom because I need to pee. This is actually a trick for me. I also try to stay active throughout the day so I can get tired and go to bed early, and obviously, going to bed early helps me get up early.
