Think about all the reasons why you loved what you did then. Keep that feeling of excitement. Make 20 long breaths. Slowly open your eyes. Pick a short task to set momentum. Go ;)

Other times, I just tell myself that 2:30am is Do or Die time, and get up with one idea in mind – finish the blasted task and return to bed! ‘Course, 4 minutes after waking up, I’m fully charged and outdo myself. Works every time.

Data points, Barbara

Occasionally, I’d learned something new and of course, helped somebody else out in the process! :D
