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.

Something on Your Mind?

Running 8THIRTYFOUR on EOS has allowed our team to find consistency in what we do and given us a framework to hold each other accountable. 

It's why @bodespeaks highlighted it in her latest @fastcompany contribution.

We put everything business owners, employees, and educators told us on the wall, and guess what... yeah, some of it was mean. 

The point is, everyone is saying it about each other, not to each other, and nothing is getting fixed that way. 

Thanks to everyone who showed up to have the Uncomfortable Conversation on the skills crisis, and whether you were there or not, let us know what the next one should be.

Defense and manufacturing run on precision, protocols, and deadlines. When a team miscommunicates... things slip, and the cost adds up.

Kim will be at the Michigan Defense Expo in Detroit on May 13 to talk about the Hard Cost of Soft Skills (or as we call them, survival skills) and what we can all do about it.

If not for you, do it for her. 

@bodespeaks will be talking to @sheleadssocietymi on May 21 about Big Deal Energy™ and what it means to own what makes you - you. 

Don't let mediocre men tell you you're too much. That's on them. 

Come to the talk, it'll be fun. Link in bio.
We always say work smarter, which means bringing in expertise you don't have and hiring people who make your team more complete. 

That's what Kim Bode said in a recent @fastcompany article on building sustainability into your business.
