Morning People vs. Snooze People

Share This Post:

A coffee mug with the word "Begin" on it placed on a table.

Anyone out there a morning person? Do you wake up to birds chirping and Happy by Pharrell playing in your head? 

If so, WTF is wrong with you? We are the hit snooze at least 10 times, drink a gallon of coffee and debate washing our face type of people. We admit we have a few “morning people” on our team, but we make it a point to ridicule them and ensure they know they’re a bunch of weirdos. Since we know you’re dying to read what we do in the morning, we’re sharing the “morning” people and the “hit the snooze 15 times” people routines.
We created a chart to share the comparisons:

Good Morning People Snooze It People Notes
Alarm goes off, hop out of bed with a smile on face. Hit snooze. No one should wake up smiling.
Brush teeth, wash face. Hit snooze. Hygiene is important. Reminder: make your 6-month dentist appointment. 
Eat a healthy breakfast, feed other family members. Hit snooze. Okay, Martha Stewart.
Morning meditation or some form of physical exercise. Hit snooze. Some of us meditate while sleeping. 
Coffee time. Hit snooze. Perhaps add in dog snuggle or cat pets. 
Journal Roll over and hit snooze. Feelings.
Water plants (WTF) Open eyes. Look at phone. Shit. Who has plants they actually water?
Sit outside with tea or coffee and just breathe. Shower? No time. Brush Teeth? I guess. Do hair? Bun it is.  Dry shampoo for the win. 
Pack lunch and snack (more than likely done the day before). Starbucks to-go order. I am so late.  Caffeine is essential for non-morning people.

It’s pretty clear the non-morning people are the real winners here. If you’re looking to up your morning routine, get one of those alarms that smacks you in the face or douses you with water. 

And always, always, wake up with Happy Hour Hustle.

Employers think Gen Z is lazy, entitled, and will quit the second things get hard. That perception is keeping you out of the room before you ever get a chance to prove otherwise.

The good news is, you can flip the script, but it will take some serious work and a personal brand, or as Kim Bode refers to it: Big Deal Energy™.

Kim is speaking at theProject™ Collegiate Event, hosted by the Project Management Institute Western Michigan Chapter on April 14. She`ll cover how to build a personal brand that actually sounds like you (not ChatGPT) and how you can show your value through social, content and networking.

No one talks about how lonely it is to own a business. The tough decisions land on you, the business doesn`t pause when you need a break, and nobody - not your employees or your spouse - really gets it.

If you know a business owner, tell them they`re doing a good job. It matters more than you know.

The growth stage is the hardest part of building a business.

Kim was recently quoted in @corpmagazine on what she sees running the Women`s Entrepreneurial Fellowship: women who have built something, survived the hardest part, and are still doing everything themselves. The natural tendency to be humble and attached to their work creates unique business challenges for women; they put up walls because they can`t be vulnerable.

Meanwhile, when a woman CEO needs growth capital, she compiles three years of tax returns before a bank will schedule a meeting, while her male competitor closes the same deal over drinks.

When women have access to the right resources, they grow and invest back. Full article at the link in bio.
