i’m supposed to be at work by 8:30 every morning, which means i have to leave by 8. i have a number of alarms set so waking up isn’t the issue, but i can’t get myself to get out of bed until like 7:57. this makes me late for work most days.

my boss doesn’t seem overly concerned about the tardiness, so i don’t have that external motivation to get me going. i would like to ask for a raise soon though, and i can see the lateness being brought up then. i would also like to be fair to my coworkers and show up at the same time they do.

i’m thinking about putting an alarm in another room so i have to actually get up to turn it off. are their any other motivational tricks y’all use to get yourselves going?
