I would like to talk about a small change I made to my daily routine which was waking up earlier in the morning. It might sound like a simple thing but it has had a surprisingly positive impact on my life. I decided to make this change a few months ago when I relied that I often fell rush in the morning and struggle to manage my time effectively. As a university student, I have quite a lot of things to deal with, including assignments, exams and teaching related work. I sometimes felt overwhelmed because I didn’t have enough time to prepare for the day. To make this train, I started going to bed a little earlier and setting my alarm about 30 minutes earlier than usual. But first, it was quite difficult because I was used to staying up late. But I gradually adjusted my sleeping schedule. I also tried to avoid using my phone before going to bed, so that I could fall asleep more easily. As a result, I became more organized and less afraid. Having some extra time in the morning allows me to review my plans, have breakfast without rushing, and prepare for my classes. I also feel more in control of my schedule instead of constantly trying to catch up with everything. Looking back, I have learned that small changes can make a deep turn when you stick to them consistently. I don’t think I completely transformed my life overnight, but this simple habit has definitely helped me become more disciplined and productive. So that’s all I want to tell you.
