There’s nothing like setting your alarm for 4am three days a week to make you feel grateful for getting to sleep in ’til 7:30.
Photo: A screenshot of my many alarms, beginning with 4:03am on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
If you would like to participate in this prompt, feel free to use the “One-Liner Wednesday” title in your post, and if you do, you can ping back here to help your blog get more exposure.
Here are the simple JusJoJan Rules:
1. Just Jot It January starts January 1st, but it’s never too late to join in! Here, we run on the honour system; the “jot it” part of JusJoJan means that anything you jot down, anywhere (it doesn’t have to be a post, it can even be a grocery list), counts as a “jot.” If it makes it to your blog that day, great! If it waits a week to get from a sticky note to your screen, no problem!
2. I’ll post prompts at 2am my time (GMT -5). The prompt will be the word in quotation marks in the title of my 2am post. You don’t have to follow the prompt every day, but that will be where you leave your link for others to see. You’ll get a prompt for every day except Wednesday, when the prompt is simply my One-Liner Wednesday and on Saturday, when your prompt will be the Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS, which will appear at about 9:30am Friday. Each prompt post will include the rules.
2 a) The rules that I’ve made for myself (but don’t always follow) for “One-Liner Wednesday” are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!
5. Have fun!
3. Please ping back or link to the daily prompt. To ping back, just copy the URL from the daily prompt post, and paste it anywhere in your post. Check to make sure your link shows up where you want it to, and go back occasionally to see other bloggers’ entries – the more you visit others, the more they’ll visit you! Note: A) The newest pingbacks will be at the top of the comments section. B) Ping backs only work if you’re blogging on WordPress. Everyone else must paste a link manually.
4. Tag your post JusJoJan24 and/or #JusJoJan24.
5. Write anything! Any length will do! It can even be a photo or a drawing – you’re going to title it, right? There’s your jot!
6. If your post is NSFW, do not ping back. Please leave your link in the comments with a warning.
7. If you’d like to, use the JusJoJan badge so that others can find your post more easily.

I’ve had to get up that early, but not on a regular basis. I hope you get to turn those off at some point.

I hope so, but I also don’t. I have to get up that early to start Alex’s 4 and a half hour feed so he can go to his day program. Being able to turn them off means he’s not getting out of the house.
Unfortunately, there’s no way around it.

Linda, I have to ask….why the :03? Asking from a fellow 4 alarmer 😉

I wondered if anyone would ask. 😀 I suppose it’s some sort of state of denial—I really don’t want to get up at 4am, so I give myself 3 minutes leeway.

All the time I was working, I set my clock 30 minutes ahead so it looked like I was getting up at 5:15.

Whatever works! I set the coffee pot clock 5 minutes ahead of my alarm so that it’s ready when I roll out, lol.

I should do that. The aroma might help me stay away from the snooze button. Haha!
