It's very important that you live in the moment do not think about how unproductive you are or are being and decide that moment to do something and these five steps will help you structure your life in a way to become more productive.
1. Plan your day the night before. Just before going to sleep, dedicate roughly ten minutes to plan out what you will be doing the next day. Lack of sleep most commonly comes from thinking about all the things you have to do tomorrow. This makes the mind restless, and it becomes much more difficult to get a good night’s rest. So it is a good idea to develop this habit as it yields outstanding benefits planning your day the night before should rid you of these restless nights right away. When we plan our day ahead of us, we wake up ready to hit the ground running knowing exactly what has to get done.
2. Write a motivational quote. You can find many of these on our Facebook and intagram. Now it's very important to put these messages in places where you will see them most or places where you procrastinate for instance on the computer or mobile, it will get to the point where it will be imbedded in your head. Looking at these ten times a day will change your life.
3. Instead of rushing to grab a cup of coffee or an energy drink, instead drink some water. Our bodies need proper hydration to perform at our absolute best. These methods of energy are very short lived. The human body is made up of over 70 percent water, what do you think will be best for it? Drink it then. More times than not, when you are feeling sluggish or tired, you are dehydrated. Water is a fundamental aspect of high performance.
4. This is a must. Workout. I say it all the time. Fitness is the best productivity tool you can ever invest in. Find a routine that works best for you and work that routine into the ground every morning, look on the internet for a simple one, we will be posting workout routines on the site soon so stay tuned. By starting our day with a workout, we get the blood flowing and rid ourselves of the morning blues with the release of endorphins. Not only does a good workout release stress and increase energy, but you will feel super charged and ready to conquer the day.
5. And lastly, this step is very tricky, in needs to be a honest answer for yourself. But whatever distractions you have you need to remove, simple. Chances are you are getting interrupted via text, phone or email throughout your day. If you work from home or outside an office, set a policy so people know not to call or interrupt you during certain time blocks. If you are able, completely silence and stow your phone away so there is no distraction or urge to stray from the task at hand.
