Five (5) ways a wake up call can improve your life

There’s the literal definition of a wake up call and the metaphorical definition of a wake up call. The Wake Up Call Service is primarily focused on providing the best wake up call in the literal sense, but maybe we can help in the metaphorical sense as well. Here’s a list of 5 ways that I think a regular (or even occasional) morning wake up call from a real person could help improve your life. My vision is for this service to become an important part of your day because of the wonderful benefits it provides, not just a phone call you get every morning.

1. Achieve your goals, whatever they might be
   Sometimes it’s difficult to hold yourself accountable, but if there’s another person involved, you’re more motivated to do the thing you set out to do. When you get a call from one of our callers, you know some other human is on the other side of that call and you don’t want to let them down by not answering. Our callers can work with you to set goals and help you track and achieve your progress towards those goals. The whole experience is super personalized for you, and we keep notes to make sure we don’t let YOU down.
   
2. Remember to do the things you need to do
   This one is pretty simple. When we call you, we can remind you to do something: take your medication, send that email, create that report, buy those flowers for your loved one, say “Happy Birthday” to that friend, you get the idea. When scheduling your call, just tell us what we need to remind you of, and we’ll do it.
   
3. Connect with someone else
   To me, this is the best part of the wake up call experience. You get to connect with another person in real-time at the very start of your day. No more waking up the sound of a blaring alarm that provides with you no joy whatsoever. Instead, wake up the sound of a friendly voice who will do whatever they can to help you smile and get your day started in a positive and healthy way.
   
4. Learn something new
   When you schedule your call, you can tell us if you’re interested in learning something new or finding out the answer to something. We’ll see your request, research it, and get back to you when we call you. Just think of how much you could learn over the course of a year 🙂 or we could just do something super simple and tell you a fun fact.
   
5. Reduce your morning anxiety and stress
   Waking up the sound of a friendly voice from a caller at the Wake Up Call Service can help you reduce your stress and anxiety in the morning. A personalized wake up call, perhaps with a soothing message or your favorite tune, can set a positive tone for the day, replacing anxiety with a sense of calm and readiness. We’ll do whatever we can to help you relax and prep for your day 🙂

That’s the list for now! I’ll check back on this post every so often (assuming the app gets some traction) to help make sure that the standard I’ve set here doesn’t slip. Thanks for reading and let me know if you have any feedback!
