Setting Your Behavior for the Day

According to Dr. Fredrick Koenig of Tulane University, "The first hour of the day sets your behavior for the rest of the day." Both he and Dr. Robert Calmes of the University of Arizona identified several early-morning types. Here is a listing of their types and a brief interpretation of each. Which one are you?
* The Everybody-get-upper: You are practical, impartial, and energetic.
* The Sloucher: You are casual and take things as they come.
* The Just-five-more-minutes-of-Sleeper: You take it easy, like the creature comforts, take life in small bits, and enjoy passive activities.
* The Don't-talk-to-me-until-I've-had-my-second-cup-of-coffee-er: You're self-sufficient, self-reliant, and crave privacy.
* The Get-up-earlier-than-the-whole-neighborhooder: You're a lover of nature and enjoy time to yourself. You are likely to bare your soul and you tend to keep your mementos.
* The Dasher: You're always on the run, enjoy a lot of extra activities, and always get the job done.
* The Early-morning Exerciser: You're determined, thorough, and a believer in hard work and self-discipline.
Which one are you and which one will you become?
Remember: When you maximize your potential, everyone wins. When you don't, we all lose.
