Ways to organize your day for success

7 ways to organize your day to achieve success

In order to have a starting point, let us agree that success appears in your life (career, relationships, physical activity, etc.) in the most biologically effective way (for example, you are healthy in every sense of the word).

 

So how do you organize your day for success? Here are seven ways to do this:

 

7 ways to organize your day for success

1. Wake up without warning if possible 

Wake up with an alarm is a sure way to feel like you're at the start of races in the morning. Instead, see how many hours of sleep you naturally tend to have and then try to get that up each night.

 

Waking up naturally prevents the flow of chemicals breaking out in your veins: No one needs this kind of stress at the start of the day! Chronic stress can wreak all sorts of havoc on your body, and start a spate of poor health outcomes

 

2. Get started today with "My Time" without a screen.

The moment you check your email or social media, you are giving others authority over how you spend your time. There will always be an email that can't wait or a post that leads to a dangerous #FOMO situation. Before you know it, you are overwhelmed.

 

Instead of reaching for a machine right away, consider starting a new practice that can take 5-10 minutes (or less) or the time you devote to it: breathing, meditation, mindfulness, gratitude, and journaling.

 

The web is full of resources for this stuff - just don't search for it first thing in the morning! Are you an early bird? Use this gift of time for exercise, meal preparation, reading, etc.

 

3. Create time periods

As much as we think we can multitask, research shows that we cannot. 'Task switching' - what we really do when we think we're multitasking - can cost us up to 40 percent of our productivity.

 

Solution: Set specific times in your schedule for tasks that require your full attention. During those times, close all other tabs and turn off all your notifications - and I mean all of them!

 

In between these blocks and not earlier, take a break to check email, make some calls - take care of some little tasks. Set a timer indicating the start of the next production block.

 

4. Schedule workouts and meals.

We seem to have time for everything but what really nourishes us: Nourishes our bodies well and gets them moving regularly. As a health coach, when you say to me, "I don't have time for ..." what I'm hearing is, "I'm not prioritizing ..."

 

See you roll your eyes. Let me tell you: If I did enough, they'd still be there. But seriously - it comes down to this: If you don't cancel your job, your client's needs, your spouse's needs, or your kids' needs, why do you cancel yourself?

 

Meaningful self-care is putting an oxygen mask first so that you can help those who depend on you. Organize your day and put these blocks in your schedule. Treat them as unbreakable dates with yourself.

 

5. Multitasking ... on purpose

Yes, I know I told you not to multitask. Now I tell you it's okay if you do it on purpose. what does that mean?

 

In my work, I talk a lot about primary foods - all the other things in our life that nourish us (or don't!) As well as what we put in our mouths. Think about sleep, function, spiritual exercise, physical activity, time in nature, etc.

 

The multitasking I encourage is the kind that helps us take care of ourselves on a basic level, not the kind that tries to manage the amazing number of little tasks that make our schedules so stressful.
