Last year I moved from a Testing role to a Developer role, for me, finding extra time to learn was important.

I started getting up earlier in the morning, I started off at 6:15 then slowly moved to getting up at 5 / 5:30 each morning. I get up at this time each morning no matter what, now I often wake up before my alarm.

While finding extra time to learn is a good thing, I find it really important to write down the goals and tasks I want to complete for that week and morning. If I don't I've find myself wasting that time, scrolling through twitter, half reading blog posts etc.

I turned one of our rooms into an office, with a nice setup, good monitor etc, that makes me excited to want to go into that room in the morning and get stuff done.
