How to Start your Day Right and Be Productive!

Have you ever felt feeling guilty at the end of the day because you think you never did anything productive throughout the day? Well, I guess you never did plan for your day. Always remember that famous quote, “Time is gold”? 


Yes, it still and will forever be one of the best quotes in life that we have to live by. And I am pretty sure that by starting your day right together with handwork, self-discipline and perseverance, you will feel that you fully maximized your time for the day. 


So, here is my step-by-step process in utilizing your time.

STEP ONE: END YOUR DAY RIGHT

Maybe you’re thinking, “Wait, we’re talking about ‘starting’ here, not ending!” Yes, you are right. But in order to start your day right, you also have to end it right. Agree?

Ending your day right means writing the things you have accomplished for the day before you go to sleep. With this, you can monitor your progress and see how well you have done for the day.

After looking back on the things you’ve done, write down as well the things you needed to do for tomorrow. You can now anticipate the things that you have to prioritize for the next day.

STEP TWO: START YOUR DAY RIGHT

Never wake up late. Sleeping for 9 hours or more will make you feel very unproductive throughout your day. Exercise waking up a bit earlier than usual.

Pray. Open your journal and review the things you needed to do for the day and schedule your time. Exercise your thoughts because it will drive your day! If you think you are lazy for this day, you will really be lazy and will not do anything productive. Shift your mind to see things positively and you will see your dreams coming true.

STEP THREE: PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

I am pretty sure that for a couple of days, you may feel very lazy coping up with your schedule. Don’t worry. We all experienced that in one way or another in our life! But, practice, practice and practice makes perfect! Make your schedule a habit! It really feels good seeing your To-Do things written in your journal were all stroked out at the end of the day!

CONCLUSION:

Everyone of us already felt that we need to be productive, that time should not be wasted and we have to succeed in whatever goals we have. However, productivity also must go together with your passion, handwork and self-discipline in order to attain dreams in life.
