Change Your Habits and Change Your Life

I know many of my students are sleepy heads during the summer. Believe me, I have two kids of my own, and given the choice they would sleep until the afternoon every day.

Behavioral scientists contend that it takes 21 days to break any bad habit. How about making a pact with yourself to wake up an hour early every day this summer? That hour will be yours and yours only! Run, workout, watch TV, listen to music, blog, eat breakfast, whatever. After three straight weeks, waking up early will be a whole new way of life.

Think of what you can do with this extra time when school starts--maybe the extra hour will help alleviate the stress of classes, applications, test prep, etc.
