effort rewarded

waking up early nowadays is sure hard work but worth it ;)

this is what it took to get me outta bed this morning...

1. alarm clock propped on a stool 2 metres away
   (audible distance yet far from the reaches of arm/leg)
2. clothes prepared nicely on the same stool
   (less time to make excuse to go back to bed)
3. winamp with alarm clock plugin to go off at around same time as alarm clock
4. playlist with motivating songs
   (this morning it was some motown classics like reach out, what's goin' on...)
5. laptop plugged into stereo and put up at loud

results: shower, brekky, parking spot in city, at desk at 10am and time to read odb.

ok, not bad considering i've previously been waking up later than i got into uni today (don't ask by how long). feels good... :)
