The early bird catches the worm?
That saying is turning out to be very correct in the last couple days. Truth is, I haven’t had the best week (Karma?), but I’m surviving. Hopefully things will be looking up for myself, and those who are morning people!
On Lifehack.org, a GTD and productivity blog that you should definitely read/bookmark, has put up a useful list : 6 Reasons Why it Makes Sense to Arrive Early
Here’s a sneak preview of what you can find at the link above:
When you’re early you get the best seat. Just like when you get to church early or a movie theatre 10 minutes before the show begins, seat selection is the name of the game. If it’s a meeting, get some distance from whomever will be running the show. If it’s a presentation, get a spot that will not cause you to visit the chiropractor due to the way you had to twist your body to see the PowerPoint presentation. When you’re early, you get to choose the ideal location for optimal learning and interaction with your peers.
When you’re early you are just plain cooler. Just like being organized, early folks have their ducks in a row and know what they’re about. They might be paranoid about being late or they might be neurotic about the clock, but let’s face it- early people gain a huge advantage because they are attentive to the smallest of things.
You can read all 6 reasons from the link above, and don’t be afraid to share your thoughts (or maybe even a tip) at Lifehack.
