Once every few months, I go through all my notes I’ve written down and do a roundup post of what has been going through my head. Thoughts and quotes from books and actions that I’ve found helpful. It gives me the opportunity to reflect back before starting taking notes again on a “clean slate”. (more…)
In the past I’ve written about the importance of having a morning routine to set you up for the day ahead. Think of yourself as an athlete going to a big match, instead that your match is the big business meeting that’ll happen at 10.30am. Yes, you’ll have to plan and “train” for it but you also need to be mentally ready. Getting in the right head space before getting to work (or other place important) can help you with that.
Today however we’ll focus on building a similar routine before hitting the slumbertown at night. (more…)
I’ve always been a morning person but only lately realized how much I can affect the rest of the day by having a morning routine to follow. I’ve noticed how I spend the first 30-60 minutes of the morning will ultimately carry over to how productive I will be for the next 12-16 hours. Those first minutes will also directly correlate to how my mood is for the rest of the day. Well, there are exceptions on some days but generally this works.
