Time to #LoseTheSnooze

If there's one thing I do well it is hit the snooze button. I've done it as long as I can remember, I just really love to sleep! There really is nothing like feeling your body laying heavily in bed in the morning (especially on those cold Michigan mornings!) I've been trying my best the last few years to lose this habit. I just can't seem to shake it. No matter how much I know I need to get out of bed, I convince myself it makes more sense to sleep in and get those last few treasured moments, even though I know that I'll feel worse afterward.

That ends tomorrow morning with my alarm clock.

If there's one thing I've learned it's that tomorrow isn't guaranteed. It's time to stop putting things off, getting them done, and living and working like there's no tomorrow. That includes losing the snooze.



Special thanks to Jessica Johnson for the kick in the pants I needed!
