to have a good, productive day. It can take several minutes to
write things down, but it will have a great impact on your
productivity, mood and mental focus. Rather than heading for
your coffee pot, take a paper and pen and write down some of
the things mentioned below. It takes me less than 8 minutes to
write down these important things each morning, so don't
worry about the time.
1. Reminders
Picking up the laundry, buying some fruits and veggie after
work, and congratulating someone on their birthday are some
of my reminders. It seems strange to write down these things,
but I have a super busy schedule and lots of tasks to
accomplish every day so I can easily forget these simple
things. If you are like me, take a few minutes in the morning
and write down anything that you might forget to do during
the day. After work, take a look at this list and make sure you
don't forgot to do anything.
2. Schedule
If you have a habit to write down your schedule every
morning, it's great, but if you don't, consider writing down
your schedule right after you get up in the morning. It will
jump start your brain and prepare you for the hard day. Just
write down a general outline of the day and be sure to include
time for rest. When we have a busy day we often forget to
take a break, but when you have it scheduled, you know that
you should do it. I always write down my schedule in the
morning and I know how my day will go.
3. Inspirational quotes
This is my favorite thing to write down every single morning.
Take a book full of inspirational quotes, or a religious or
spiritual book, and write a few quotes down. Whether they are
funny or serious, they should inspire you and boost your
mood. It can be about family, health, dreams, religion,
gratitude, spirituality, or anything that will inspire and
motivate you for the whole day.
4. Things you are thankful for
To reduce your stress and better your mood, write down
things you are really thankful for. It can be a new job or
home, or something as simple as having delicious breakfast
that morning. There is always something to be grateful for.
Just take a few minutes to think about it in the morning.
5. Things you want to accomplish
Write down certain things that you want to accomplish. It can
be an important project you should accomplish that day, or
maybe it's to have a healthy food that day. When you write
such things down, you know you need to accomplish them
today. Plus, it gives you a goal that helps boost your
motivation and focus.
6. Bills
Although I don't like to think about bills and money in the
morning, I know they are important things to consider. To be
more responsible with your money, write down the bills that
come out of your account. This way, you will avoid overdrafts
and manage your finances much better. It's significant to
make great choices with your money because you work hard
to earn them, don't you?
7. Good deeds
Now, it's time to think about people around you. Think of the
good things you can do for them today. It can be something as
simple as holding the door open for someone, smiling at
someone, buying your friend coffee or sending a card to your
mom or aunt. Whatever it is, write it down in the morning.
Good deeds make you a better and happier person, and they
can make a big impact on the sense of your well-being.
Perhaps you think that these things are no so important to
write down in the morning, however, it's worth trying. You
will see how it can help you lower stress, be happier and get
more done in a day. Do you write down any of these things
every morning?
