DO THESE THINGS FOR a Healthy and Productive Day

by Blake Herzog

1. WAKE UP EARLY

This keeps you in line with your natural circadian rhythms and keeps you working in the sun, when you and most everyone else are at their perkiest.

2. MEDITATE

A few minutes will center your mind for the day. A few more minutes may help you find yourself.

3. MAKE A HEALTHY BREAKFAST

Include at least three of the following food groups: whole grains, proteins, fruit and vegetables.

4. PLAN YOUR DAY

Write down the things you need and want to do and the approximate time you want to do them, but don’t be so rigid you can’t manage unexpected developments.

5. SCHEDULE EXERCISE

Allot at least 30 minutes for physical activity per day, either as one block or in chunks of time.

6. SCHEDULE SELF-CARE

Set aside at least 15 minutes for a bubble bath, skin care, coffee with friends, your favorite podcast — whatever makes you feel like you!

7. FINISH THE TASKS YOU DREAD MOST FIRST Tackling these at the start, when you’re likely to be at your brightest, will help the biggest chores fly by and make the rest of your day so much better.

8. DELEGATE WHATEVER YOU CAN

Don’t be afraid to ask for help, especially when there are people around you who are at least as capable of tackling these todos as you are, but be mindful of the load they’re carrying, too.

9. APPRECIATE YOUR EVENINGS

One of the reasons to wake up early is to accomplish as much as you can so you can enjoy powerful sunsets, soft twilights and intimate nights.

10. KEEP A CONSISTENT BEDTIME

This is one schedule you can be rigid about — going to sleep at the same time every night helps you wake up at the same time every morning and produces multiple benefits for your physical and mental health.
