Step 1:

Plan Ahead

Step 2:

Go The Distance

If your alarm clock is right next to your bed, it's real easy to hit the snooze button. So, try moving the clock somewhere that makes you have to physically get up and turn it off.

Step 3:

Get Real

Experts say that if you want to be real about it, write down the last 5 or 6 times you were late. Figure out where you went wrong. You can't stick to an unrealistic schedule. Time your drive to work, to the store, know how long your bathroom routine takes and factor in all of it.
