How to have a successful day!
Have you noticed how you have those days where
you "need to get that one thing done TODAY" and for some reason it's
a real struggle to even think about starting it?
Personally I don't like those days, after my many
years of perfecting the art of procrastination, I've also learned a few tips
and tricks to having a productive day.
So here are a few that I've come up with, let me
know if you have any other ideas or if you think that these will not work at
all and you're doomed to be a lazy POS for the rest of your life. (:
Breakfast. Be About It.
Pretty cliché I know. But it does work! I'm
not saying you have to get up at 5AM to able to sit down, read the paper and
solve world hunger all before the sun comes up, not at all. But when you set a
side some time to eat some cereal or make some coffee and grab a bagel, it feels like you finished something already! Eat it at home. Rushing out
the door with a granola bar doesn't count.
Map Out Your Day
As you're eating your bagel or brushing your
teeth start actually thinking about your day. Make a mental list of the things
that you want to do. Think about when you're going to do them. Visualize
yourself making these things happen.
Make Your Day Top Heavy
This step and the last step go hand-and-hand.
As you're mapping out your day, make sure to get the thing that has been
lingering over your head, done first! As difficult as that may be, do it. Then
reward yourself AFTER you finished it. Spring for the large coffee at Starbucks
or, if you’re like me, watch your guilty pleasure on Netflix (cough
Vampire Dairies cough).
Actually Get Up
This is easy, if you think getting up and out of your house before 10AM
is "Early" than maybe we should re-prioritize. You'll be surprised
how much more day there actually is.
