Getting up when my alarm goes off.

I put the alarm on the other side of the bedroom and used one with metal bells. I did it for years and hated it but it worked. Now my phone tinkles next to me and I'm up. Except Saturdays.

I tried the alarm on the other side of the room thing and it consistently ruined my day. Put me in a frustrated and pissed off mood from the start. Now I just force myself to get out of bed immediately when the alarm goes off, no excuses and no snoozing allowed. It sucks, but I’m never late.

All bets are off on the weekend, alarms are only for a damn good reason.

I did something similar during Covid while working from home. I bought a pack of NFC tags and stuck one on the other side of my room. When my alarm went off I had to open the app on my phone to scan the tag to switch it off, worked well the majority of the time.

There's an app that uses a QR code system for something similar that's available for free for those interested.

I did this too. Eventually I set the alarm for earlier so I could get out of bed to shut it off and still have time to get back to sleep.
