Wake Up Late Challenge: Cutting it close and Updated rules
This morning I was listening to the Top Gun soundtrack in my head because I was in the freaking Danger Zone. The snooze danger zone that has seemed to be creeping up on me the last couple of days. Even though I’m waking up before my alarm even goes off, I’m still hitting the snooze button. And the last few days, it has become progressively worse until today was too close a call.
I made it to work with plenty of time, however, I didn’t have time to do all the things I would like to do. Read a little bit, and oh yeah, eat.
So to put a little fire to my feet I’m updating my rules for the Wake Up Late Challenge. There was a two part thought process of why I originally gave myself 3 lates. 1.) Because I thought I would at least be once the first week, if not more, and 2.) I wanted to give myself some leeway if I was late because of matters beyond my control.
Now if I’m late once (yes, you read correctly: once) I have to do a really annoying video of myself. However, I do reserve right and will ask your permission if I was late because of something that was blatantly out of my control. Being stuck behind a school bus when I only gave myself five extra minutes does not count as out of my control.
So there you have it. The cards are on the table. The stakes are set, and they are high.
Wow, now I am hoping that you are late once. I am in the mood to see you make a fool out of yourself!
I too have hit the snooze button a few times too many this week. I should put cayenne pepper on mine so that when I hit it, and touch my eyes, I wake up in pain.
Whatever works, Colin.
This has been working so well for me, I might have other challenges to motivate me in other aspects of my life as well.
I was just waiting, it was only a matter of time until you reach over and look at the clock, and say to yourself grumbling…just another 5 minutes. And that’s when 10 comes, then 15.
How about you try to say Ma-G-enta? I feel like that should be good and embarrassing.
I don’t even think you want to go there, Bryce. Instead of novel, I may have to change my form of media to web.
