I am a homemaker with an 11-year-old daughter. I wanted to use the early morning hours for personal development, so I’ve been waking up at the crack of dawn.
I tried doing it on my own at first, but it was hard to stay motivated. So, I started participating in a group dedicated to waking up early. There are about 10 members. We take pictures of how we spend our morning and upload them to a group chat. If you pay a participation free and succeed for 4 weeks, you can receive a convenience store coupon from the group leader.
I have some time to myself from 5:30 to 7:00. I mostly spend that time studying “입트영.” Some members do morning yoga, keep a household ledger, or read and do transcription exercises. just being a part of the group helps me stay motivated.
to stay motivated - to continually progress on the path to achieving your goals and ambitions
ledger - a book in which things are regularly recorded, especially business activities and money received or paid
나는 11살 딸을 둔 주부다. 이른 아침 시간을 자기 계발에 활용하고 싶어서 새벽에 일어난다.
처음에는 혼자서 해보려고 했지만 의지가 약해졌다. 그래서 새벽 일찍 기상 모임에 참여했다. 10명 정도의 멤버가 있는데, 우리는 아침 시간을 어떻게 보내는지 사진을 찍어 단체방에 올린다. 참가비를 내고 4주 동안 성공하면 모임장으로부터 편의점 쿠폰을 받을 수 있다.
나는 5시 30분부터 7시까지 ‘입트영’을 공부하며 나만의 시간을 보내고 있다. 아침 요가를 하거나 가계부를 쓰기도 하고, 독서와 필사를 하는 멤버도 있는데, 그룹에 속해 있다는 것만으로도 동기부여가 된다.
