LPT: to ensure you get up early and don't go back to bed, put your phone/alarm clock into a bag/backpack/a big decorative Christmas sock along with the mementoes that remind you what keeps you going and why. Put the bag/backpack/sock as far away from your bed as possible.

Submitted by glas_s_cutter t3_10owdbi in LifeProTips

Update: Clarification: set your alarm sound to max, put the bag(it can be just a plastic bag)/backpack/sock as far away from your bed in your room as possible, so that you need to get up to get to the phone/alarm clock. As for the role of mementoes, when you are groggy trying to snooze the alarm and then touch an item that associates with something important to you, be it your values, dreams or quotes - whichever - it helps you reason with your sleepy self to not to go back to bed.

This lpt is not bulletproof, but it increases your chances of not going back to bed.

Instructions unclear. Put bag in the other end of the house, as far away as I could, then couldn’t hear the alarm.

You edited your post though. It did just say put as far away as possible

glas_s_cutter OP t1_j6h9qd5 wrote

i did, right, because of your comment, but i still think that it is obvious in the original post that you should not place your alarm in the other part of your house/apartment. i mean, why would you do it given the context

Wow. It was a joke. Don’t think it was a great tip anyway though. Just get up when your alarm goes off.

well don't try to mask your immature toxicity with mock nonchalance. you don't agree with something and see how it can be improved, give your reason, if you do, show appreciation. this is 2 lpts for the price of one for you fella

I can just see myself shoving mementos aside and hitting on the snooze button

Then you need to find mementos you would't easily show aside

i just wonder why so many people on here are so full of bile. guess it has something to do with how sad their lives are

In my case keeping seeing my important concepts (silly but let's call them that) in a hurry, or purposefully with the idea of making myself feel something, can actually have the opposite effects.

Had a summer where I brought a device with me on long, early transport to a place I didn't want to be, to have something to listen to, and after that ended it took forever till I don't feel nauseated seeing the device.

I expect things are not entirely the same though, because it wasn't a job or school where I could at least get something out of like money and dopamine kicks. Curious what is making this happen :(

oh, damn, i also see now how it can backfire. sort of like hearing your favorite song everyday when waking up may nourish hatred towards it
