Verse 15: She rises while it is yet night

Proverbs 31:15 "She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and tasks for her maidens."

This verse is one I ought to read every day. I am not a morning person in the slightest sense!
Now, if one were to take this literally, all non-morning people, like me, could not possibly be a good wife. If we take time to look at the message behind this passage, perhaps we'll find a way to apply the principles to us night-owls.
"She rises while it is yet night..."
This evokes images of the stereotypical farm wife for me. To apply it to all the rest of us, I would say a good application of this would be to at least get up before the rest of your family members. How much earlier? At least as long as it would take you to get yourself ready for the day and to accomplish the rest of the principles of this verse. Personally, I feel I get my best sleep between 5am and 9am because whenever I get woken up during those times I feel like a zombie! We'll discuss alternatives later on.
"...and provides food for her household..."
Ideally, one would already be up and around a bit. Then you could easily get breakfast ready for everyone as the first task of your work day and also prepare any lunches that would be needed for that day. Then if you're really organized, you can look ahead at that day's meal plan and think about any other meal prep that needs to be done, like filling up the crock-pot for dinner.
"...and tasks for her maidens."
Ah, wouldn't it be nice to have a maid, let alone a number of them? Tho', if you think about it, most of the hard-labor tasks that we needed maids for have been made amazingly easy by machines; clothes washers and driers, vacuum cleaners, dishwashers, special cleansers and so on. So now instead of providing tasks for our servants, we simply need to organize the order of tasks for our machines. This is something that can be very well done in that early morning quiet.
So what about people like me? I only wake up early under duress and then I need a pot of coffee or caffeine equivalent to get me un-zombified. If you are like me, we get to do this even earlier than our morning-people counterparts! By this I mean the night before, when we night-owls shine! After you put the kids to bed, or simply after dinner has been all cleaned up, depending on what works for your family, you can sit down at the table instead of the TV or the computer and organize tomorrow. Think about your meals and write down all the tasks that need to be done and roughly when and what order, so you can simply flow from one step to the next as life lets you. Don't forget to do what meal prep you can before you go to bed. Many lunches can be made ahead, dry elements of breakfast can be assembled and others grouped together, even some dinner prep can be done!
So, while most of these things are best done by someone who is clear-eyes first thing in the morning, a large chunk of the mental prep at least can be done the night before, and sometimes that's half the battle!
