In reply to Getting yourself out of bed.., posted by fi on February 15, 2002, at 11:45:27
My approach was totally defeatist. 'Well, f*ck, I might as well get up now as later' and I would just drag my sorry ass out of bed to the coffee.
It helped when I got really sick and tired of the rushing around in the mornings, and of being late to work.
Good luck!

I end up getting the last possible train to get to work in time (and sometimes the one after it) after rushing about to get dressed and ready. And work isnt too bad- its not that its going to be a miserable day.
