Mornings

I'm not a morning person. But I'm also not a night person. I'm a I-like-to-sleep-a-lot-and-hate-waking-up-person. Since starting work again, it's been hard for me to get on a schedule. I like to sleep as long as I can. I want to exercise before work. I want to not rush out the door. I want to pack a lunch and catch up on chores. All these wants are basically incompatible. So for the last week and a half, I've chosen the sleep as long as I can option. Which means I don't exercise, make my lunch, do the dishes and am totally and completely rushed.
This morning, I helped a friend run an errand before work. Which required me to wake up an hour before my normal wake-up time. But it also took 20 minutes (if that) so by the time I returned home, I had an extra 40 minutes. So I did my Jillian Michaels 20 minute kick boxing video, loaded the dishwasher after throwing away old food in the fridge, made my lunch, and got ready. I was still super rushed, but I think that will always be the case.
I hope I will do the same tomorrow as I did today - wake up a little early, get some things done, feel like I accomplished something for me. But, I know myself, and I know that I will probably pick sleep and do those things later, if at all. Why is it so hard to do the things I know will make my life easier?
