It's possible to start the day right if you do not have a reactive
The morning of the majority of working people begins with the fact that they jump up and immediately begin to fuss.
Well, how else, because you have so much time to do today!
That's a pancake, a letter came from the bank - it means that they will have to call on them too.
Oh, and my sister on Skype wants to have dinner together, and in fact I was not going to leave the office today.
But my sister is uncomfortable refuse.
Again a failure in the plans. ..
Stop!
This is the morning madness you create for yourself.
Tim Ferriss teaches that the first 1-2 hours of each day should be as much as possible.
Do the usual actions, do not start doing things that can destroy your plans: no mail, social networks, skype.
All this will allow you to establish control over the routine of your day.
It's possible to start the day right if you plan to execute daily the 3 most important cases of
. Cal Newport does not know what are the fumes and 12-hour working days.
At half-past six in the evening, he's already resting every day.
And all because Cal always plans three important tasks that he must perform during the day, without being distracted by anything.
These three tasks are the guarantee of our success, without which there would be no achievements.
Cal shares all our tasks with:
- Small ( correspondence, some meetings, purchases).
Their execution takes a long time, but shows our superiors our usefulness, not letting him fire us. - Global ( script writing, enticing an important client, successfully implemented business plan).
It is global tasks that require the maximum use of all knowledge and skills, lead us on the career ladder.
You can start the day correctly if you correctly use your magic watch
Every person during the day has 2-3 hours, when his strength is at the peak of performance.
Most people have a magic watch coming in 1-3 hours after waking up.
Here's what Dan Ariely says: "Waking up at 6 o'clock, dedicate time from 8.00 to 11.00 to implement the most important cases out of the planned for today.
Do not waste it on any empty calls or unnecessary correspondence. "
It's in the magic clock that the body is ready to mobilize all the forces to perform tasks, learn something new, your productivity increases by 30%.
You have to find your magic watch so that not a single day is wasted!
How does a person's biological clock work?
It's possible to start a new day correctly if we develop a ritual signaling the start of the
activity. Charles Dahigg assures that one of the main reasons for procrastination( permanent postponement of cases) is the fear of the first step.
A ritual can help you overcome this fear, after which you will not go backward.
Repeat this ritual constantly, and you will develop a habit.
It's the same with the beginning of a new day.
For example, on my previous work there was such a ritual: 15-20 first morning minutes, we dedicated coffee drinking and making plans for the day.
Then immediately started work.
If for some reason the day started with coffee did not work, then the work moved sluggishly.
And one more little advice from me: start your day with charging!
At least a few minutes in the morning and a rush of vivacity is guaranteed!
How to start charging, see in the video:
It's possible to start a new day properly if you use the procrastination of
. Yes, you did not misinterpret: the permanent postponement of cases can benefit if you use it for your own purposes.
John Perry teaches you how to compile lists correctly:
"Put the first number of your daily to-do list that is unrealistic.2-4 points are really important things that you are quite capable of doing. Looking at the list, postpone the first item and proceed immediately to the second. "
The first thing that frightens you and for which you do not want to tackle will spur you on other important tasks.
You see? Not so complicated is wisdom.
