Do you find it difficult to daven on time?
I do, lately. Any ideas for improving? How do you make yourself want to daven enough that you get up even when tired to daven Shacharis on time?

I'm starting to have the same problem. Let's race each other, and we'll report back every night.
How does that sound? Person who gets up earliest two weeks in a row gets ________? -------------------- על כל אחד ואחת להוסיף בתורה ובמצוות כדי להכריע את עצמו ואת כל העולם כולו לכף זכות!

No, but that's because I have to be up and about pretty early. Why can't you get up? -------------------- A: ...no matter what, we have Hashem and each other

In PM so it won't be too public and we'll have a written record.QUOTE (pleats @ Aug 6 2008, 03:57 PM) No, but that's because I have to be up and about pretty early. Why can't you get up? Because I don't have to be up and about until later, and there's a lot for me to do at night. -------------------- "If they would allow one dead soul to visit an assembly of philosophers, that would be the end of all their teachings."

Davening is a 'have to'. The thing is that you can always daven 5 minutes later. Closing your eyes for 5 minutes is nearly fatal every time.

Not really, they involve working with people who work during the day. QUOTE (Majorthinker @ Aug 6 2008, 05:12 PM) Davening is a 'have to'. The thing is that you can always daven 5 minutes later. Closing your eyes for 5 minutes is nearly fatal every time. Yes.

At any rate...we'll see who can beat the 5-minutes-more y"h the most. -------------------- על כל אחד ואחת להוסיף בתורה ובמצוות כדי להכריע את עצמו ואת כל העולם כולו לכף זכות!

Actually we did do that for a while, and it really helped. I wish my fear of basar v'dam was the same as that of yiras Hashem, but it did help because I was embarrassed that someone should know I davened late.

Then we should continue. I'd like to know what time you got up today....
 Oops, by accident I overslept. Let's restart tomorrow, lol. JK. Pm me.
