The Two-Clock Morning

Maya used to set three alarms every night, but she still woke up late most mornings.

Last month, her coach suggested a different plan: one alarm by the bed and one clock in the bathroom.

Now, when the first alarm rings, she gets up at once and walks to the bathroom to turn off the second one.

By the time she finishes washing her face, she is fully awake.

She then spends ten minutes reviewing her schedule while eating breakfast.

According to her notebook, this small change has saved her about twenty minutes each day.

Those minutes add up to more than two hours a week.

Maya also stopped checking her phone before bed, which helps her fall asleep faster.

Her coach says that good time management is not about doing more things; it is about doing the right things at the right time.

Maya agrees, and she plans to keep her two-clock system for a long time.
