| Doing 1 thing 100% > doing 5 things at 20%. Set 1 goal for your day and knock it out (it can be more than one, but don't overload). Break your day up into time blocks (Cal Newport has a lot of great content regarding the concept of Deep Work). Get outside. Make your bed in the morning to start off with a small win. Allow yourself 15 mins without any technology to sit with and sort your thoughts (this can absolutely suck and be uncomfortable at first). Remind yourself of the things you're grateful for. Pay attention to what you're feeding your mind as well as what you're feeding your body. This is growing in importance every day in the information age. Reduce the friction between yourself and the things you "have" to do to make them as easy as possible. Remind yourself that you have a finite amount of cognitive ability each day - ask yourself what you want to "spend" it on. Tell your family & friends that you love them. Be nice to others, treat people with respect and help people if you're able. It feels good. Find ways to laugh and don't take things too seriously. |
