My Thoughts On: Not Being Able To Wake Up At 6 AM

I am having the hardest time waking up early. I'm still getting calls every morning at 6 am from my mom. She even asks me if I'm awake already and everything. I say "yes" of course and promptly fall back asleep.

How do you manage to actually get up in the morning when you don't REALLY have to go somewhere or do something? This is my dilemma.

If I was meeting a friend or had to be at work, I'd be there. Period. I may be 5 minutes late here and there, but I would never just not show up.

So, how does one change one's mentality from: "I don't HAVE to get up." to "SHIT, I'm late!!!! I need to get to Starbucks and start writing my masterpiece that's going to make me millions of dollars?????"

Hmmm....that's kind of an answer in itself, isn't it?

My friend Caroline had a good inventive idea - pretend I'm meeting one of my characters for coffee...so I have to go. I like ideas like that. I want more. So, if anyone has thoughts, I'm up for anything and everything related to waking up earlier. Hopefully someone/something will be able to motivate me.

I will keep you updated.
