How to Get up Early in the Morning !

Trying to cope up with new office timings ?

Do you feel like the days are more and night is less ?

We cannot avoid sleeping as it is the state of natural rest observed in most mammals, birds, fish, as well as invertebrates.

For me, I want to wake up early, but that bed is too hard to get out of, and that alarm clock keeps going off every 10 minutes. Unfortunately, we are snoozing away what could be one of the most productive moments of our day. So, instead of snoozing, let’s wake up in a more effective way, and get the feeling of accomplishment first thing in the morning!

To get up early in the morning is a real boon. Nearly everybody would appreciate more time; after all, most things are more useful than sleeping. However, to get up early in the morning is not always easy, especially if we are used to lying in.

Here I found some tips to get up early in the morning. Try it instead of cursing yourself for getting up late. (Applicable only for people who sleeps at home)

1. Set the alarm at a regular time each day.

If we develop the routine of getting up at a certain time, then it becomes easier and more natural to wake up at our target time. If we are not used to waking up early it may be a shock to the system; however, it is important to persevere and continue getting up at this time - even at the Weekends. By getting up at the same time each day it helps to set the body clock. If we are lucky there may come a time when we spontaneously wake up early.

2. Be Careful with the Snooze button.

It is better to set the alarm and get up at that time. If we keep pressing the snooze button it becomes difficult to get up. When we lie in bed, hoping to get an extra 10 minutes rest, we are not actually sleeping. The longer we doze, the more difficult it becomes to get up. One trick is to put the alarm clock at the far end of the room. This means to turn it off you actually have to get out of bed - don't make it easy to go back to sleep.

3. Be Motivated to get up.

The key to getting up early in the morning is our desire to get up early. If we are really motivated to wake up at a certain time, we will not let the mind create excuses for going back to sleep. It is worth making a list of things we can do early in the morning. Early morning can be productive because the environment of the house is usually a bit quieter. Whatever your personal list maybe, it's probably better than sleeping in. If we really value the benefits of getting up early we will make it happen.

I have started practicing these new techniques to get up on time. Your suggestions invited.

Microsoft Prefers Flash to Silverlight

Despite all the controversy over Microsoft using Silverlight to take over the rich internet market from Adobe Flash, the software giant seems to be not even trying. In fact, even most Microsoft web sites are using Flash instead of Silverlight.

A quick check through Microsoft properties reveals that only the Microsoft Home Page and the Microsoft Developer Network use Silverlight; MSN Video, Zune.net and the new WWTelescope all use Flash.

Considering the fact that Silverlight is still under development undergoing thousands and thousands of build cycles, perhaps it should take for Silverlight a little more than the expected time to reach large scale audience.

And, we are in.

Finally, after all the temporary arrangements utilized to the core, we are in our own place. Very proud and happy to have a completely indepenedent workplace of ours. Still we have given a huge wishlist for the new office. Hope most of them will met sooooon! :)

Good Luck!

Happy May Day!!

And, this is to wish you a Happy May Day! :)
