What to do in the morning to be more effective all day

For many, the morning - the time that the body is experiencing a painful, hoping to wake up as soon as possible. And we often forget about those few hours in the morning, which can also be use with advantage when planning your day.

The average life span of about 70 years. Add another 5-10 years (after all, we eat right and read Layfhaker) and get 75 years. Multiplying this number by 365, we get about 20 000 - the number of hours of the morning, we often wasted.

I hope you will think about how to fix it. And there is a solution. Of course, you can drink coffee in the morning, get up an hour earlier, but it's all you know and without us, and we will try to think more interesting tips in order to make morning and afternoon more effective.

Manage your energy, not time

If you feel that your brain works best in the morning, why not devote this time to tasks that need the most powerful brainstorming?

For example, I try to write an article in the morning, because at this time I feel the rise of creativity. Messages, phone calls and an email I spend time in the afternoon, because they do not require much brain activity. And in the evening I try to go to the gym and exercise, thus allocating all their care from the most exhausting (from the mental point of view) to the most simple.

Homework

If you know that tomorrow you will be a bad day, do not be lazy to spend 15-20 minutes to draw up a list of tasks and small notes on the following day. You can do this before going to bed, but remember that some things are better before going to bed to do.

Do not open the email until noon

Sounds simple. But who does it? None. Learn to forget about the mail before noon is time consuming, but it's worth it. Understand that all of the letters, with a few exceptions, can wait a few hours. Nobody will write you a letter, you are in danger or when dealing life and death. So, leave the mail alone, and do not worry about it until the day. Use your morning to maximize the important tasks.

Turn off your phone, or leave it in the other room

Or on a nearby table. Or in another universe. Anywhere, just not around when you're working. This allows you to not be distracted by Facebook, Twitter and other anti-worker piece. Once done this, you will immediately see the efficiency gains in their work. Although also see a smaller number of news and tweets. You decide which is more important.

Work in a cool place

Can you concentrate on something on a hot day or in a stuffy office? It is unlikely, therefore it is necessary to keep your work area cool. This makes it easier to concentrate on work and less sweat. Or do you like to sweat?

do fizkultminutki

It does not have to be a complex set of exercises. The fact that, for the life and work in particular, the brain needs oxygen. But when you sit for a long time in one position, the chest is compressed and the diaphragm starts to put pressure on the lungs. This makes breathing difficult and reduces the amount of oxygen entering the brain.

Even the fact that you just get up and stroll, a positive impact on the body and, consequently, on the overall performance.

A word of advice: Put a cushion between the lower back and back of the chair. It will support your back and do not give her a rounding.

Do not neglect eating

As you know, the more you eat, the better. So do not forget about breakfast, lunch and a small snack. 15 minutes of time that you spend on something to eat, will be compensated by the health and well-being.

Create your own ritual

For me it's a glass of water on an empty stomach in the morning. For some it may be 10 minutes or meditation morning conversation with a loved one. Just add to your life a little ritual that will give a signal to your brain that it's time to enter the operating mode and start to carry out tasks.

The power of the morning routine

As a rule, very few people achieve success in one day. As well as few pulls down his life for one day. And in the first and in the second case, the main thing - it is repetitive actions. No matter good or bad. Most of the ineffective behaviors consist of bad habits. Hour of useless pastime on Facebook here. Unproductive morning there. And so on.

For example, take Jack LaLanne. Every morning he woke up at four in the morning and worked in the room half an hour. After half an hour he swam or ran. Over 60 years, he did every morning the same. The fact that he is one of the most influential people in the fitness, says that Laleyn knew what he was doing. Besides, he lived for 96 years.

It is not a coincidence. What you do every morning - is an indicator of how you will spend the whole next day. It is a choice we make every day, and that determines how we live. Do you have 20,000 hours of the morning. What are you going to do with each of them?
