It’s frustrating, isn’t it? You want to become an early riser.

You know that waking up early is one of the best ways to be more productive. You know that many of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs are early risers.

Yet no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to stop hitting snooze.

You don’t have to let productivity slip through your hands forever. Here’s how to finally wake up earlier.

Waking up, getting ready, making a dash to work, checking emails, working on tasks and heading back home. Are you following a similar schedule where you operate on autopilot mode without taking control of your day?

When is the last time you went through your day or the week with a plan? Is it a common occurrence that your days go by working on one task after another without a concrete plan?

In this episode, you will understand how to work with to-do lists for optimal productivity. Most to-do lists are long and rarely updated. This simple method will not only ensure your to-do list is small but will also ensure you complete tasks one after the other.

Many of us will have read Jane Eyre at GCSE level, as it’s one of many set texts you have to study. This is enough to put off some people – being forced to read anything often takes the pleasure out of it. But it’s chosen for GCSE courses with good reason; the plot is exciting, but not too complicated. It also covers a lot of issues and things that we still have to deal with today, so the book is relevant in a way that many others are not, because they become outdated and very obviously products of their time.

A soul is an ineffable thing. It cannot be seen or smelled, but your senses detect evidence that it exists. A smile, a sob, a kinesthetic or verbal tic, a way of walking, the peculiarly human brightness in someone’s eyes.

We’re not androids, all of these things come together to say. We are not manufactured things. We are organic and singular. We are human.

Or at least pretending to be them.
