The best way? Have kids..lol..you can borrow my two and four year old. They'll get you up.

I agree on a couple of things. One, it's a habit that needs to be created. Every now and then my kids will sleep in (7am), but I'll still get up around 6am.

Two, have a reason to get up. I used to swim on a team, and the workout would start at 6:45am.

These days, I enjoy getting up early because I LOVE the ritual of grinding the coffee beans, and getting that yummy cup of coffee, and witnessing some of the most beautiful sunrises. It's a great way to start the day!

If you want, I'll start calling you at 6am...lol...
