11 Tips to get more out of your day
- Don’t leave your day to chance . Take some time the night before to go over the day and write down what you want to accomplish today. Write down 1-3 important tasks. This way you don’t have to think about what you need to do today, and you can get started right away.
- Give yourself a flying start . Prepare your breakfast the day before. I eat overnight oats with fresh fruit every day. The oatmeal is ready, I just throw in some fruit. Do you want to start flying? Then lay out your clothes for the day.
- Get up earlier . Getting up earlier than usual feels very productive. It saves you time and makes your day feel longer. Go to bed earlier the day before to avoid getting less out of your day because you are tired.
- Do something constructive immediately . It could be anything. Some people like to start the day with meditation or some exercise. I start my day by writing an article. It’s nice to do something useful right away, because then your day immediately feels a bit successful.
- Start your most important task in the morning . Are you dressed and ready to start the day? Then grab your to-do list from the night before and start on the task that is most important to you. Ask yourself: what task will bring me closer to my goals, or contribute most to the quality of my life right now? Take on that task, even if you find it difficult or annoying. He better be out of the way.
- Give yourself a competition you can win . Yes, you want to get a lot out of your day today. But also realize that you want to prove to yourself that you can succeed. So don’t set too high standards for yourself. If you disappoint yourself every day, you damage your self-confidence , which means you get less and less out of your day in the long term.
- Give yourself extra time . A smart way to do this is to cook in large quantities the day(s) before. For example, make a healthy soup that you freeze. You can eat these for lunch. Or save time in the evening by simply grabbing a healthy meal from the fridge that you prepared earlier.
- Keep it simple . Getting the most out of your day doesn’t mean you have to run and fly, or fill your head with several tasks at the same time. Getting the most out of your day mainly means that you work in a structured and focused manner. Don’t worry, calm down . Then you will get much more done.
- Get into some good habits . You don’t have to stop at one super effective day. Take these tips one by one and make them habits. For example, prepare every day in the evening and develop an evening routine in which you lay out your clothes and prepare your breakfast in advance. This way you get more out of your day time and time again.
- Keep yourself upbeat . Your day feels better when you feel cheerful, optimistic and loving. Focus on the things that are going well and assume the good. Don’t get carried away by negativity or paralyzing thoughts.
- Enjoy your day . Getting more out of your day doesn’t mean you have to just be busy and live in your head. You get the most out of your day if you live in the moment.
