There's a reason why the early bird captures the worm

(Akari and President Aria (the cat) waking up on NeoVenicia in one of my favourite anime, Aria)

I'm sure if I rooted around on Google I would find the origin of that saying the early bird catches the worm. Or perhaps it's a proverb. Either way, it is true.

This morning I decided to do an experiment. Instead of watching DVDs until it was time to get up (Pop Pixie!), I got up and edited my wip. I hate anything that wiggles, but I really did catch the worm this time. I expected to be sleepy and slow. I was a little sleepy, but I wasn't slow. I was possibly the opposite, because I was attacking my wip before work used up my daily energy (It so did - today was rather busy).

I'm now 62% through my wip - whoohoo! Slowly but surely I'm making progress. I might get up tomorrow and edit before work too. It's nice to come home and slob around without the guilt of not writing/editing

I do recommend starting a task early in the morning, if you wake up early. Somehow being up and awake before anyone else is magical. By the time you go to work/school, you feel really productive, starting your usual day's activities with the knowledge you've already achieved something.

So, who else is up for the early morning challenge?
