The
secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. - Mike Murdock
As we have seen over the last couple of weeks, Teddy
Roosevelt was an amazing man! In his
life, he wrote over 30 books, read over 10,000 pages, had various traveling
adventures and still had time for his 5 children (plus many more things!).
To expound on last week’s post about priorities, Roosevelt
was able to write 30 books because he decided to write first thing every
morning after his swim. During his
Amazon basin expedition, he would wake up before everyone, swim and then write
about the previous day’s adventures. This
allowed him to send the various expedition stories back to Scribner’s, which
allowed their readers to follow along in the great adventure while it was occurring. These written excerpts became the book Through the Brazilian Wilderness.
Why did he do this? First, he
found it best to write early in the morning when there were no disturbances or
distractions. Second, he wrote in the
morning because he felt his best and could process the previous day’s
experiences. Third, he knew once he
completed the quota of pages he had to complete he was done for the day and
move on to other important tasks.
When do you work best? Are you a
morning person or an evening person?
Psychologist categorize people by what they call “morningness” and
eveningness”. Studies have shown that
morning people are happier and more conscientious and night owls might be more
intelligent. Whichever works best for
you, determine the best time in your daily routine and do your most important
tasks then!
Have an awesome week!

never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of
