Here are 10 habits of the highly successful. How many do you already do?

Wake Up Early

I know, I know. It’s so unfair. Would it help soften the blow to know you’re in good company? Notable early risers include Starbucks CEO Howard Shultz, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Disney CEO Bob Iger, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour… the list goes on and on. Still bummed about the idea of voluntarily waking up before 10am on the weekends? Researchsuggests it’s best to wake up at the first alarm, and not to hit snooze. Studies also show putting screens away at least an hour before you go to sleep will help normalize your circadian rhythm and melatonin production, therefore making it easier to get to sleep. Fine. I’ll get up early, but I don’t have to like it!
