How to Simplify Your Day
How often do you set out to have a productive day but get caught up in little things?
It happens to the best of us and it can be hard to fix because the little things are usually urgent. Luckily, there’s one simple change you can make to your day to ensure that it is productive.
Start with an early win.
Momentum matters. That’s why it is important to accomplish something right off the bat.
This doesn’t mean you need to get up at 4 AM or have an elaborate morning routine.
Whenever you start your day, give yourself a quick win.
Bonus points if it's something important so it isn’t looming over you all day.
Chances are, you already have a task that is vital in your day today. If not, look at your to-do list, or go back over the past and find a regular task that tends to consume your thoughts.
Take that task and put it at the beginning of your day.
Do it before anything else, even checking and responding to emails.
This will free you from the pressure of the task and allow you to have a simpler day.
