How to Get More Done in Your Day

Strive for the state athletes achieve during peak competition, often called "the zone" or what Tony Robbins calls 'Peak State,' to enhance productivity and focus. In this state, you experience heightened clarity, creativity, focus, motivation, and control while feeling relaxed and productive, allowing you to get things done efficiently.

Daily stress often results from poor time management and a lack of clarity. While it may seem insufficient, we all have the same 1,440 minutes daily. Productivity hinges on time management, self-discipline, clarity, and conquering procrastination. Procrastination often arises from unclear methods and goals, requiring decision-making and energy. Gaining clarity, especially regarding desired outcomes, is a potent tool for achieving more.

I'm excited to share with you the hacks I've learned that help...

Prevent Decision Fatigue Regarding Your Wardrobe

Notable figures like Jobs, Zuckerberg, Einstein, Obama, and most ironically in the fashion industry, Michael Kors, Carrie Donovan, and Karl Lagerfeld wear the same outfits daily or stick to specific colors. What secret do they hold that attracts even fashion industry icons (the one place you don't wear the same outfit twice)?

Reducing wardrobe choices minimizes Decision Fatigue, preserving mental energy for vital tasks. Opt for favorite items and a versatile color palette in daily fashion, reserving unique pieces for special occasions.

K.I.S. & Get Organized

Keep it Simple. List your daily and weekly tasks, create a detailed calendar, prioritize tasks by the minute on your calendar, tackle challenging tasks early in the morning, and maintain daily reviews and adjustments for optimal organization.

Keep An Idea Notebook

When you have ideas outside your regular Brain Dump, log them in a notebook or app. Review notes daily and incorporate them into action by scheduling tasks on your calendar.

Brain Dump

Perform a Brain Dump: Regularly jot down all your big and small tasks. Doing this daily and weekly clears your mind, provides clarity and creativity, and allows better task management. Next, schedule these tasks on your calendar for an increased likelihood of productivity and success.

Create a One-Hour Morning Routine

Schedule one-hour first thing every morning to prepare you for the day. Eliminate all distractions like emails or phones, and focus on self-care such as prayer, meditation, exercise, stretching, journaling, quiet reflection, and a cup of herbal tea. Explore a powerful morning routine for success in this article.

Trash Your To-Do List

Use your calendar to schedule tasks instead of keeping a to-do list. It significantly boosts productivity, speeds up task completion, minimizes wasted time and stress, and creates more free time. Begin with a written Brain Dump list, prioritize tasks in order of importance, and insert them into your calendar.

Prioritize Your Body:

• Eat nutritious meals.

• Stay hydrated - learn how in this article.

• Meditate.

• Engage in daily exercise.

• 10-15 minutes of daily sunlight.

Exercise

Plan exercise on your calendar with specific days and focuses, letting your calendar guide your workouts. This simplifies your daily routine by removing one decision.

Keep An Idea Notebook

When you have ideas outside your regular Brain Dump, log them in a notebook or app. Review notes daily and incorporate them into action by scheduling tasks on your calendar.

Schedule Time For Email & Social Media

Set specific times, once or twice daily, for email and social media. This structured approach enhances productivity and reduces stress.

Meal Planning

Creating a weekly meal plan and grocery list from that plan and shopping once weekly will save time, food waste, money, and brain energy - and you'll find yourself saving money and eating healthier.

Have Daily Connection

Make time daily for family or friends to stay grounded, supported, and connected. Connection is vital for a balanced life. Put this on your calendar if you must.
