Time is not refundable; use it with intention. - Unknown
Productivity will be a major factor for the author to accomplish her dreams and goals especially since she is pushing herself outside her comfort zone of staying at home working to meet new people and experience new parts of Texas. She knows she will have to be intentional with her time. With this in mind, the author has researched productivity tips, created some of her own and will be covering some ideas in the coming weeks.
The author has a morning routine that she has been following for years and it became even more stringent in the last couple of years with her job. Her routine includes waking up before the rooster crows, accomplishing her daily personal tasks and then starting her work tasks. The first and major issue that she is working to change is her wake up time. Most people are concerned about becoming a morning person; whereas, the author is a morning person and needs to stay up later and sleep in later.
To change her sleep schedule, the author has tried staying up later reading, which did not work. Watching television, which was not good for her as the blue light affected her sleeping and caused her mind to not stop. The author does not have a resolution yet, but she is working on it.
Why is this important? By changing her sleep pattern, it will allow her to have the personal life she desires.
Small, wise habits compound over time. —Craig Groeschel
At this point, the author is trying to stay up 5 or 10 minutes later each night to hopefully compound the time to implement the bedtime the author wants. Other ideas she will be trying include reading in a chair in her bedroom before going to sleep, working to accomplish all tasks in a day so that she does not think about what she did not accomplish that day, etc. Through all of this, the author learned that she has allowed herself to procrastinate in the mornings because she has adequate time to work on tasks, but always finds other things to delay herself from accomplishing what she needs to do.
It is not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question
is: What are we busy about? – Henry David Thoreau
ACTION: What changes do
you need to make to help change your life to what you want? What have you implemented and did not
work? What other changes have you thought
of and have not implemented yet? Thinks of
one idea and implement this week.
