Nine ways to jumpstart your daily routine
Because most people follow the same routine day after day, it can be easy to get into a groove. To avoid this trap, it is important to shake up the routine from time to time. This article offers nine ways to jump start your thought processes.
In this society where we have so many things competing for our time and attention, we shake our routine sometimes necessary to add new points of view and most effective ways to spend our time trying to win. The following are options that can beChange your routine and use your time better in the process:
Get up 1 hour before. Twenty-five years, the concept of late-night (11:00 clock) the message was unknown. People went to bed at 9:30 or 10:00 clock. Once people began to stay until the end of the news networks have begun to run until late night talk shows. As a result, the population is staying later than the generation before them. Why not go to bed early and wake up an hour earlier? Even if you do not go to bedpreviously, we always try to get up an hour before time --- Do not lose sleep so much. Hour more, you can watch the sunrise, meditating, doing some exercises, or go to work, before the traffic is bad.
The activities in this hour more, you can influence your point of view all day. To get to win greater control over your time to shake up your routine, and a new perspective, and occasionally change your sleep routine - do not you miss so much Letterman.
2 The work on the porchPlace in your home office. If you change the place and the landscape opens up new perspectives. If you do this for some of its operations (particularly tasks that require planning and creative thinking), be more productive than ever before. As the author of 18 books, I find it much better read on the porch or in a swing, as if you were at your desk. Start with the places of your life, welcome retreat, and you can go to work to identify - aLibrary sitting in his car in a parking lot, a shopping center. If you know where you are working on change, you can benefit immensely and immediately.
3 If you can not obtain your e-mail until Friday. Move all the rips e-mail. Most things are not so urgent that you need to visit them that day. We tend to have an immediacy to what is often the space needed.
4 If possible, keep all calls for two days. Think as if you were on vacation and not be able tograbbed a couple of days. You do not have to answer every call immediately. Or a day - - If calls for you to keep open a couple of hours of time so you can take things in a way that is impossible when you are busy telephone calls. Polls show that Labor's primary disruptive and a waste of time on the day on the phone. Of course you do not want to be completely inaccessible all the time, but it is possible to those who can call you coach.
For example, a message onYour answering machine or with a reception to say that are not available for two days, or until 3:00, or whatever. In this way, polite and professional you are driving in a way that the benefits of both worlds: you get a brief respite to win and know they can achieve.
5 Working under a tree or in a swimming pool, weather permitting. It is an extension of the concept of work under the porch. In this case, however, is the proximity of nature, it opens a view on thingswould not get if you were in office. When working in a natural, peaceful setting, you will get peace in their otherwise hectic day at work.
6 Delete the unproductive 80 percent of your activities. The Pareto principle (the "80/20 rule") states which contribute 80 percent of your activities by only 20 percent of the results. Contributed the remaining 20 percent of your activities for the remaining 80 percent of the results. Having a hardware store, for example, about 20 percent of itsField for 80 percent of revenue, the remaining 80 percent of the shares is only 20 percent of revenue.
The key to success in retail is to identify the 20 percent of that production, the majority of sales. A smart store manager knows that 20 percent, where it is most easily accessible place, and the rest, where, although it can be achieved, is to map the most direct route. The career-conscious individual, you must determine which activitiesTheir work (and life) to support yourself and bring results. They have the power to allow activities that are not produced results for you - get rid of the unproductive 80 per cent.
7 Program the brainstorming sessions. Brainstorming is a great process in which an extraordinary variety of ideas that you can not otherwise obtain. You can use themselves, or (preferably) with another brainstorm. Have you ever started lunch with a colleague and discuss waysa problem of approach to work? After a few minutes, perhaps both are deep in conversation with all sorts of great ideas.
When the waiter to take your order or bring your check is, but what usually happens? The conversation dies. If both return to work, the ideas are often forgotten or simply pushed only on a long bench. If you plan to make a meeting, whose sole purpose is to brainstorm, you can take control of your time and get some of theproductive sessions you've ever had.
For example, I meet with my mentor once a month at his dining table. In a clear table, we sit facing each other with tape recorders and discuss the problems and questions to us and how we can overcome them face. We both have a copy of the tape to take home and make notes on them, and then take these ideas - rather than to die. If you come in contact with other people, one is exposed to entirely new worlds - theirWorlds. When you interact with another person, you get the benefit of all its information, in addition to their own.
8 Use humor often - laugh at themselves. If through the first day of work without humor, the days tend to be long and difficult. Part of taking control of your life can take a step back and look at the big picture, the opportunity to see the funny, lighter side of things. Some of your worst peaks later some of the things that you become comfortablesometimes even appear to be some of the best ideas - remember!
Humor has its place in our lives, do not think, if what you are doing is so serious that you are trying to capture so heavy as to appear professional. It is very likely to end up look like a balloon. Step back and see the humor in your life, it gives you a break in the action, makes things less tense, and puts you in control.
9 The work by car, if necessary. This is aExtension of the concept, if your home. Especially in an urban area, the car can be your life support system. I do not mean that you are working during the trip - is not productive or security. It could, however, are stuck in traffic or a snow storm, or perhaps in a meeting and have to wait 30 minutes. In these cases, able to work by car, make you more productive and give you more control over your time.
Make your car a friendly and supportive wayWhen you feel comfortable in it. Also, why not prepare a gym bag, and leave it in the trunk? Add a few changes of clothes or maybe a bottle of your favorite juice. The key is to determine in advance what it is that you support.
If you shake the working day, you get a new perspective on your life and begin to regain control of your time. A work in new approaches in the way that there will be more time, you reduce stress and help achieveTruce.
