訳 · Translation
I failed at getting up early many times. I'd decide 'from tomorrow, five o'clock', and it wouldn't last three days. But since deciding to have a cup of my favourite coffee in the morning, I've been waking naturally. It seems that having something to look forward to lasts longer than willpower. Q: Why has this person managed to keep getting up early? — They arranged something to enjoy in the morning.
正解 · Answer
朝に楽しみを用意したから
