Start your day productively with 500 words
Tips Motivation / / December 19, 2019
We have already raised the topic in the blog early awakening in order to have time to do something that does not fit in the standard working day. Also, there was an article on the beginning of the day to work on the difficult for at least ten minutes. And now I want to offer you another interesting version of a productive start to the day.
Author of the book «The Information Diet», Clay Johnson, Offers a very interesting version of the beginning of a new day under the slogan "Start it, not as a consumer and as a producer!". What did he mean by that?
What do you do when you wake up? Apart from the standard bundle "shower-coffee"? Personally, my hands at the same time turning off the alarm on the phone to reach for the check posts on Twitter and Path. And I do it already automatically, and this is a wake-up call. The same goes for checking email and social media tape. We go to check out the status of friends to find out who, where and with whom tusil yesterday and what came of it. We catchy headline some news, and now we are on a news website and have read everything. In this case we have forgotten, why bother actually went into the social network, and sometimes do not even notice as a result of an idle reel on the links ourselves in unimaginable places.
In short - in this case, we are engaged in the most banal consumerism of information, much of which we have never come in handy.
Clay has to offer? It offers to start your day by writing 500 words. Before breakfast, before a shower, before all other things sit, focus, and write a brief manifesto today. And then try to make so that all the information that you consume helps you in the creation of something new. Thus, from a consumer you become the creator.
Who better to know the rules of the game - a fan in a chair or a player on the field? When you start to produce a product, you begin to understand all the details of the manufacturing process, see the internal connection and feel the power that moves the cogs. You do not become a spectator and a participant, a creator.
Move all and write 500 words, which will completely change the day ahead.
I am familiar with several of these creators, who every morning before the start of the working day sit down to write these sketches. Which have even adds to illustrate the outline of the hand - it turns svoebraznaya visualization of ideas. And it really helps to organize thoughts, clearly maps out goals and ways to achieve them. However, I'm not sure that they fit into 500 words, but the worst of it becomes - that's for sure :).
