We are
what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. –
Aristotle
Your
first ritual that you do during the day is the highest leveraged ritual, by
far, because it has the effect of setting your mind, and setting the context,
for the rest of your day. – Eben Pagan
Over the last couple of weeks, Terri’s Tuesday Tip of the
Week has been about routine. Recently, I
talked about how I had my morning routine discombobulated. While sitting at the airport cleaning out my
email, I read this great idea from Southern Etiquette Consultants that possibly could have helped me on that crazy morning:
If punctuality doesn't come
naturally, give yourself an additional 10 minute "emergency gap" to
allow for last-minute activities. Create a playlist for your morning routine
that is exactly as long as you have to get ready - it's a fun way to keep yourself
on track. But if you know you're going to be late ahead of time, communicate
this to your friends, coworkers, or host through a quick, apologetic call NOT a
text.
My concern is that my playlist would end and I would still do "one
more thing” before I could leave my apartment.
However, I can see how it can give context on how much time we have before we need to
leave.
HAVE AN
AWESOME WEEK!!!
Life
begins each morning. – Joel Olsteen
