I posted some 2006 goals/resolutions on my personal site, but as I sit here on my 3rd cup of coffee I realize I forgot the most important one for 2006: get into work earlier.  Get up when the alarm goes off.  Stephen Covey calls this "Mind over Mattress" and quite rightly names it one of the most fundamental things you can to do Get Stuff Done.

I have never been a morning person.  This goal has been a failed resolution in years past.  Usually having kids forces people to shift to an earlier schedule but my almost 3 year old seems to have inherited mommy & daddy's desire to sleep in a little bit.  She did wake me up at 7:20 today to let her watch Spongebob, though.  I thought moving further out of the city would help too, but I still get up just early enough to get into work at a semi-reasonable hour.

This year will be different because I really have no choice.  I have enough to do in the month of January alone that it will not happen without some productivity changes on my part.  I'm such a slacker right now ;)  As soon as the Mrs. goes back to nursing clinicals later this month I have no choice but to get up stupid early at least three days a week to help with the daycare shuffle.  Let's hear it for Mind over Matress in 2006.
