In life, there just so much you need to do that if you are not organized, you’ll feel completely left out and displaced. Whether you are an entrepreneur or an employee, the fact remains that you must get some work done every day, and you have to get it done right on time. The truth is, if you are not organized by taking charge of your most prized asset, which is time, you will find yourself jumping around aimlessly without a goal. The results of this are quite serious; as an entrepreneur, you may not achieve your goal, and as an employee, you may lose your job. After some thought, these are some tips I believe will get your work life straightened up and ready to go at all times:
All over the world, there are only a handful of early risers, maybe more. But the truth is many of us aren’t early risers and are fond of snoozing our alarm over and over again. Sleep scientists have argued that snoozing your alarm repeatedly is not vital for your health. Snoozing you alarm will only take you into a deep sleep cycle. And it can have serious consequences for your mood throughout the rest of the day. What to do instead is to put your alarm a couple yards from you, and make sure to wake and stretch immediately it comes on. Waking up early maximizes your morning hours and gives you the right mental setup for the day.
Most often than not, we are so keen to complain about the terrible traffic during rush hours. Unfortunately, we have little or no control over traffic. So, why not make use of your commute by doing something productive? You can listen to soothing music, an audiobook or a podcast. If you aren’t driving, you can read a book. Or think through on a pet project you’ve been dreaming about for years. 2018 should be the year to finally actualize your dreams. Start thinking and cracking walls during your commute. Better still, just sleep through the traffic if you are not driving. It will take some steam off you rather than complaining about it.
Start with trying to consistently do about two to three things right and be intentional about them. For example, you can decide to drink at least 10 glasses of water every day and take a walk every afternoon during your lunch break. These are activities that will help you stay healthy and are quite achievable. Depending on areas that you think are lacking in your life, create a realistic routine for yourself, and don’t feel the need to pressure yourself. Instead try to ease into your routine and make a constant part of your day. This will keep your mind refreshed and help you achieve both personal and work goals.
