The Power of a Productive Routine
We all have some routine (a daily ritual), but designing a daily routine optimized for time, energy, and outcome is a Productive Routine.
Having a productive routine can help increase your energy levels and productivity. You are less likely to feel overwhelmed and exhausted when you have a routine.
A Productive routine gives you structure and allows you to organize your time to maximize efficiency and productivity. Additionally, a productive routine allows you to focus on one task at a time, which can help you stay focused and avoid distractions.
Routine sets you free.
Normally, we all wake up with a 100% charged brain battery. We have ~16 hours of uptime (assuming you sleep for 8 hours). If you pay attention to planning and designing a daily routine that serves your purpose and goal, you will much more likely be happy and successful.
Here are a few tips for a productive routine:
How you begin your day determines the extent of energy and excellence you bring—Wake up Early.
Use 20/20/20 protocol for 1st hour of the day.
20 mins: walk (or workout)
20 mins: read (or learn)
20 mins: journal (or meditate)
Plan 4x Deep Work (45-mins each) sessions every day.
Plan your Day the day before.
Take a short nap during the day (it will charge your battery back to 100%)
Plan each hour of the day to work on what matters the most to you:
Personal Growth (3 hr)
Family (4 hr)
Work (8 hr)
Friends/Community (1 hr)
Here is my morning routine to win my day by 9 am:
Put all your activities on Calendar. Let the calendar be your tour guide for the day.
Key takeaway: A productive routine is an important part of staying healthy and productive. A productive routine gives you a sense of accomplishment, as you can track your progress and set achievable goals.
