Laziness

I really do know how to get up in the morning.  In fact, if I could find a way that I could go to bed by 10 PM every night, I'd be a seriously happy girl. (I'm already seriously happy anyway, but that's not the point). Okay, so this isn't even about going to bed...it's about waking up. For some reason, somehow, somewhere along the way, I decided that it would be a good habit to start to set three alarms for myself. Yes, three.  Somehow, since that's how many alarms my cell phones have had the past 4 years, I got into that weird habit.  It's not because I'm bad at waking up, either.  It's because I like to "trick" myself. I will set 2 alarms for earlier than I need to wake up, and the third alarm is for when I really do need to get up. That way, I make myself think that I get to sleep longer, thus, the effect of sleeping in.
It's also the effect of laziness.
Now, I'm dependent on having three alarms because if I don't, then I'm afraid that maybe I'll forget when I wake up, turn off my alarm, and go back to sleep...but with bad consequences after. It's been bothering me for a while now that I use three alarms.  Not beating me down, or anything, but just kind of annoying when I think about it.
Actually, I really should have more trust in myself.  I usually know what's up more than I give myself credit for.  A lot more... However, I've decided to ease into it, and wean myself of having three, going to one. That way, I won't forget.  (Not that I would, anyway; like I said, I should give myself a lot more credit.)  So, now I'm going to two alarms.  I am not sure how long I will use just two (but it will be shorter than four years). I think maybe one or two months should do the trick.  Then, I'll just try using one again! We'll see how it goes.
That's how to get rid of laziness in the morning.
Thought...maybe I'll just see how this week goes, and see if I'm able to do just one again! (I am sure I can.)
