Model Answer:
As an employee in a large company, I've to go to the office every weekday. And we're expected to be in our cubicles before 9:00 in the morning. Although I wake up early in the morning, I can not spend much time preparing and eating a healthy breakfast at home. Since I've to drive at least 40 to 45 minutes each day to reach my office, I often bustle to leave my home and eat processed or packaged food for my breakfast. So, I'd like to change that aspect of my lifestyle and have a wholesome breakfast every day.
The importance of having a homemade and nutritious breakfast has been stressed out by many doctors and nutritionists so far. A good breakfast is even more necessary for people who remain active throughout the day and usually take their lunch after 2:00 pm. A healthy breakfast contains all the essential food ingredients and elements and keeps us vigorous to work till noon, and the habit makes us healthy and fit.
I feel that I should be doing it right away - from tomorrow would be the best possible time, I believe. I'm convinced that this is an important change that I should incorporate into my lifestyle without further ado and delay. However, due to the lack of sheer determination and the lack of time in the morning to get ready for the office, I'm yet to start doing it. Practically speaking, I'd make it happen in a couple of weeks.
I would first need to make a couple of modifications to my daily routine to consolidate this into my lifestyle. First, instead of going to bed at around midnight, I would need to do it before 11:00 pm. Then I should wake up a bit early- perhaps 40 minutes earlier, to have plenty of time to prepare and eat a healthy breakfast in the morning. Since I live in my own house and have no plan to rent a place near my office, I can't shift my house to cut down the commute time. So sleeping a bit early and waking up earlier seems like the perfect solution to this.
