How do we prepare for 2018 … we don’t realize how much we can truly do if we properly plan our time.
It’s extremely important to utilise each second to help create a memorable and productive day. For me, most of the time I often get lost within the day figuring out what to start with, complete and what following task to do because of not planning out my 24 hours. Consequently, often leading to procrastination or the production of low quality work due to the short period of time I had to spend on that project
Being said that, here are a few tips to create a functional day:
1. Create an overview of each month to have a preview of what to expect
Allow yourself time to plan all the events and holidays you have for the year to revolve your schedule around these dates
2. Think and reflect upon the past year and the steps you are willing to take to achieve a better year
Here I created a “19 before 2019” page. Meaning 19 things to do before the next year (2019). Don’t worry about not having the list fully complete as your ideas to mind could always change
3. Plan our your day!
I can’t stress out how important this is. But we often fail to realise how much of a routine we actually have for majority of the days we live through
4. Organise a list of chores periodically
That way you will know when you need to do a specific task ahead of time, resulting in actually getting the task done!
5. Have Energy!
It’s vital we have enough sleep and eat properly each day to help gain the nutrition we need to fully maximize our day. Having a tracker of the amount of sleep you get each night will help you to regulate and organize your time more efficiently.
In addition, you could connect the amount of hours you get to your mood for the day and see if there is any correlation at all. By doing so you could improve not only the amount of rest you get but your mood: win – win situation!
I hope you now feel motivated to stay organized for 2018! Let me know in the comments, how you will make 2018 your year!
