Flying Alarm Clock

Saturday January 3, 2009

This year for Christmas somebody gave my daughter a Flying Alarm Clock. When it goes off, it makes a whooping sound and sends a little propeller flying across the room. The annoying sound won't go away until you get up, find the propeller, and replace it. It was a joke gift, but it's actually really handy for teens who have a little trouble getting out of bed in the morning!

You may not realize it, but getting out of bed in the morning is an important part of time management. If you lay in bed too long, you may not give yourself enough time to prepare for your day. That means you're much less likely to remember your homework when you walk out the door.

That sounds like something that I could use!

Thanks for your great homework tips. I’ve been having a hard time doing it (at least doing it well) and almost everything applied to me. Very, very helpful, thank you!!

I got one for my son. He’s been up and dressed before anyone else for two weeks. He’s even started getting breakfast. It’s awesome. I appreciate not having to fuss at him to get up.
