This blog post is about having a positive mindset, because let’s be honest we’ve all been there, and all had days – where we find it impossible to get anything, constructive done.
Well, I’m here to tell you that you are in control of that situation…
Having a positive mindset can make you feel that you can achieve anything, in whatever area you want. You know what it’s so true…
Now we all know – there’s only a certain amount of time in a day…
So here are a few of my tips that I used when I needed to have a productive day:
1. Make a list the night before. But try not to make the list too long in one day – I would say a list of no more than 4 things.
2. When you wake up in the morning look at your list, and choose two things to do in the morning.
Encourage yourself by repeating motivational but achievable lines like “I want to get these two things done, by midday”.
You should only concentrate completing the first two things on your list, in that given time.
By midday you would have ticked two things off your list, and trust me it will feels so great after seeing those ticks you will want to complete the rest.
Treat this like a work day and give yourself a lunch break.
Then continue doing two things in the afternoon, after lunch. Go back to your list, now appreciate the last two items you ticked off on your list.
Give yourself a time to be finished by, and set an alarm on your phone if you have to.
Obviously this is all depending on what you put on your list, the item done may take more than one day. But by the end of the day you should be able to at least see see that you’ve made progress.
If you still need to work at it the next day, this is fine. But I would say do not leave it on your list for no more than 3 days. Unless your task takes that long or more.
