It's not something to wake up early and do your best.
The other day, I participated in a collaboration event of a friend bookstore held by Kanki Publishing. There, I saw a talk event with Mr. Terufumi Inoue (5 o clock Koji), the author of "How to use morning time to change" a day that can not afford "to get up early" to "a fulfilling day," and Mr. Kazuma, the owner of a friend bookstore.
I myself am not bad at getting up early, but because I wake up early, I really need to increase motivation, and in the morning when motivation does not increase, I often fall asleep twice.
One of the causes is staying up late.
In conclusion, I understood that [to get up early, to prepare the environment and habit of going to bed early] is essential for getting up early without trying hard.
However, there are two reasons why I stay up late,
One is the familiar "futon smartphone."
I think that there are many people who are troubled by this, but please read this book and try to understand, interpret and act in your own way.
The second thing that particularly bothers me is the work of staying up late with high motivation.
However, even if I say "work," I concentrate on SNS transmission and reading (← this is like entertainment) instead of my main job, and it becomes 1 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Regarding this, there is a "feeling of doing my best," "Let's proceed while motivation is high! It's fun and it's good for me!" I justify myself. As a result, even if you get up early by shortening your sleep time, your head will not work and your main job will be affected. Or,、、
I asked the author, Terufumi Inoue, about such worries during the talk event.
Then, please don't use the word "motivation" anymore.
It was a bit shocking for me. Until now, I had assumed the environment and mechanism to keep motivation high. Of course, among them, I also thought about creating a mechanism that does not have to rely on motivation.
However, it was based on the idea that because there is an activity that you want to keep high motivation, you can do the basic action with zero motivation.
It is difficult not to use the word "motivation" from today, but in getting up early, I will gradually switch to thinking that does not feed on motivation.
And for that, go to bed early.
I realized again that my sleep consciousness was low.
Today's sleep goal is 23 o'clock!
(If you don't inadvertently invite me to dinner,、、(Laughs)

私も最初は「早寝早起きのイラスト（いらすとやっぽい雰囲気の素材）」を探して、朝活の投稿に使おうとしていました。目覚まし時計、朝ごはん、起き上がる人…こういう“わかりやすい絵”があると、習慣化の発信って一気にそれっぽく見えるんですよね。しかも「早寝早起き＋自分時間」みたいなキャッチコピーがあると、余計にやる気が出る。 でも、イラストを用意して投稿を整えたところで、肝心の自分が夜更かししてたら説得力がない…という壁に当たりました。そこで私が意識するようになったのが、「イラストで気分を上げる」より先に“早寝できる形”を作ることです。 具体的には、早寝を邪魔する2大原因を分けて対策しました。 1つ目はおふとんスマホ。私は「完全にやめる」だと失敗しがちなので、スマホを触っていい時間を先に決めました。例：22:30まではOK、それ以降は充電場所をベッドから離す。ベッド横に置くと、結局スクロールが止まらないので物理的に距離がいちばん効きました。 2つ目が、私もまさにハマる“楽しい夜更かしワーク”（SNSの下書き・読書・調べもの）。ここは「モチベーションが高いから進めたい」気持ちが強い分、ブレーキが必要でした。私の場合は、夜にやる作業を「30分だけの仕込み」に限定して、続きは朝に回すルールにしています。朝に回すために、前日に“次やることメモ”を1行残しておくと、起きた瞬間に迷わず始められて朝時間が増えました。 もし「早寝早起きのイラスト」を探しているなら、そのイラストを“目標”じゃなくて“リマインダー”として使うのもおすすめです。スマホの待受にしたり、手帳の最初のページに貼ったり。視界に入るたびに「早寝早起き＋自分時間」を思い出せるので、気合いより習慣に寄せやすくなりました。 私の当面の目標は、23時に布団へ入ること。早起きはがんばるものじゃなくて、早寝できる環境を整えた結果としてついてくる…これを忘れずに続けていきます。
