Hi comrades, fellow partners of mine, if I may get comfortable. This talk is about a really simple subject. Do a checklist. Have it in your night table, on the closest wall to your computer, wherever. And let that checklist dictates how are you going to behave for the first hours of the day.
I know this is difficult to many, because they have to go to work, and the distance between their home and workplace isn’t always convenient. Or they have other duties that eat the day quite fast. Well. Let me ask you this without any hold ups or cushions that make the impact less heavy. Be awake at 4:30 A.m.
Crazy right? We often are already awake by that hour, but because we didn’t sleep the whole night, being working like a crazy lunatic out of Schedule, or because of a party or reunión with Friends.
But understanding the basics of how this affects your state of mind during the day is crucial. This isn’t about a difficult topic (not yet haha). The complex thing here is our brains. How do they work? We have certain notions thanks to modern day science, and by result we know what’s the matter it compouses it and the ones it creates. Its malleable, to be overly simplistic.
And making it get used to that hour and specially to that pattern of behaviour, will give you sense of purpose while progressing in basic but relevant tasks of your daily need, and you will still have a lot of hours to go on about the other unavoudable responsabilities you have made yourself accountable for.
The morning is, our last healthy place to be with ourselves, and to own ourselves some nice treatment. Because oversleeping just tire us more and depriving ourselves from sleep at night is a tempting vicious of illusions.
You don’t have any idea how reassuring and satisfying it feels to look at the clock, realizze is still very early, and you lookover your checklist and notice that 5 or 10 task have being completed, with a check in each box. So, rather than Reading this, you go and try it out?
Then comeback and tell me how your first few attempts went and I will cheer you up or try to convince you better about doing it.
Take advantage of this first days of the year! They are the fundation of the rest of 2018.
