LET’S DIVIDE THE DAY IN 16 hours, which is what is left once you subtract 8 hours of sleep. Now, let’s divide every 4 hours into 4 stages. And now we have 4 stages with random schedules.
So, in the next four stages, I will show you tips that I think work for having a perfect day, along with some habits that will help to get the tips accomplished.
This part of the day is one of the most important ones. I think part of waking up defines the mood you’ll be having throughout your day.
Drink a glass of water right away: this will help you feel light and have an easy digestion.
Set up a nice alarm tone: The one you think will make waking up easier.
Plan your day: Set priorities for your day.
Try getting ready for your day in a relaxed way. Your day should feel like the following graph.
This would be the part in which each person performs a different activity depending on their age, passions or hobbies.
Be Neat. I found that being neat is one of the best ways to get things accomplished. Too much stuff in different places creates distractions that can affect productivity.
Keep a list of tasks to do. This will help you keep track of pending tasks. When you finish a task, cross it out. You will feel motivated when you see how many tasks you've accomplished
FOCUS is the KEY to being productive. With focus we can improve the quality of our activities. Many people manage to concentrate while listening to a certain type of music. If you are one of these people try to be on the lookout if someone needs you.
Do not leave for tomorrow what you can do today. This is the key to productivity. If you can do a task it is smarter to do it at that specific moment than to wait and do it later. In the course of this wasted time, other tasks may arise and this would cause a stack of tasks, resulting in a domino effect.
Eat a Healthy balanced meal. Some nutritionists say that a balanced meal should be composed of three parts: Proteins (2:4), carbs (1:2) and greens (1:2). If you are vegan or vegetarian, some carbs can also be protein, like quinoa or beans.
Take a break Numerous health experts are “warning of the dangers of people sitting too long. “Taking a walk will get your muscles moving and the oxygen flowing, and it also allows you to clear your head. “Plus, getting some fresh air will not only help wake you up, but if you’ve been working on a computer, focusing your eyes on long distance objects can help minimize eyestrain — and getting some sunlight can help reset your clock.” (Just don’t forget to protect your skin from the broad spectrum and pollution).
Stretch or Exercise
I try to consider this stage as if it were free time. In it, we can take advantage of doing the things we like most, such as spending time with family, reading, exercising or simply watching digital content.
Read. Reading regularly can help make you smarter, and it can actually increase your brain power. Just like jogging exercises your cardiovascular system, reading regularly improves memory function by giving your brain a good work out. Reading also helps you relax before bedtime.
Start planning for your next day. How we spend our time is a key strategic decision. Make a list and order things you have to get done by priority.
Try to go to bed early. Going to sleep early will help you feel more rested for the next day and therefore help you do your tasks more happily and efficiently.
