Hi Kaspian

Do you still stick to the early rising?

I did it for 30 days (6am every morning without fail,) and as soon as the trial ended I slumped straight back to my usual routine.

I know that I can't expect the 30 day trial to do all the work, but I was suprised at how easy it was to get back in my old ways.

I think for me a 90 day trial would probably suit better, as I am a LAZY git!!

I have recently taken up playing the sax , so I'm going to start a 30 day trial of playing 5 times a week, hopefully this will become more of a habit than the 6am thing!


Cheers
Jon
