Early Riser challenge with friends

Out of bed by your set time.

Waking up earlier is a habit almost everyone wants and almost no one keeps alone. The Early Riser challenge gives you 21 days and an audience.

Each person sets their own target time; check in when you are up, before 10 AM.

How to do it

  1. Set a realistic target, 30 minutes earlier than usual to start.
  2. Put your phone across the room.
  3. Check in as soon as you are up.
  4. Go to bed earlier; the morning starts the night before.

The rules

  • 3 strikes allowed; when strikes run out you are out, but stay on the board to cheer the others.
  • No rest days.
  • Your day runs midnight to midnight in your time zone, and you can still check in until 3 AM.
  • Missed yesterday? Up to two earlier days can be logged, marked “logged late” for the group to see.
