The first hour of the morning is
the rudder of the day. - Henry Ward Beecher
Lose an hour in the morning, and
you will spend all day looking for it. - Richard Whately
Do the hard jobs first. The easy
jobs will take care of themselves.
– Dale Carnegie
80 days and 2020 will be over! Most people are probably excited to see the
end of this year and the author is. Most
people are probably hoping for a different 2021. The author is. However, it is important to finish this year
strong.
Like everyone else, the author has had some very
challenging times this year and is going through some as she writes this blog
post. Even though we have had hard times
this is the time to be resilient. Finish
the year strong and accomplish goals.
This has not been the year anyone probably expected, but we have
overcome and will continue to.
As the author had a nice long 3-day weekend, she
was reminded of a very simple principle.
Accomplish important tasks first thing in the morning and it will help
motivate the individual to accomplish more tasks. The author needed her down time over the
weekend, but also needed to accomplish many tasks. She did the things she needed to early in the
weekend and on Monday pushed herself hard to get all of the tasks on her to-do
list completed. Waking at her normal
time, she completed her workout and started the tasks on her to-do list. As she completed each task, she checked it
off her list to-do list and was motivated to get the next thing done. Starting with 25 things on her task list, the
only task left at 11am was to work on this blog post.
You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re
going to go to bed with satisfaction. – George Horace Lorimer
As we are in the home stretch of the year, it is
important to remember this basic principle and incorporate into our lives. Many distractions will come, but it is those
with determination that will sleep well each night knowing they accomplished
their tasks, goals and dreams.
ACTION: How can
you incorporate this principle of doing one thing in the morning to help get
motivated to accomplish more?
