6 daily rules to reach your potential
It’s very easy to lose focus, especially during the hibernation months. The new year’s slump really tests your ability to stay positive and believe in doing things better in the new year.
That slump usually hits now. The 2nd full week of January. After reading Fast Company’s article, I thought it was about time to put their recommendation on 6 simple rules into practice.
And here they are:
1. Drink a glass of water in the morning – usually you wake up dehydrated so get things moving again with a glass of water
2. Define your top 3 priorities for the day and stick to it
3. The 50/10 rule – Solotask and do things faster by breaking down each task into 50 minute increments.
4. Move, Shake, Sweat. Once you get the heartbeating it will help the rest of your bodily functions too and it will also provide some clarity (at least it does for me)
5. Express Gratitude – writing down what you are thankful for when you have lost focus can bring you back to reminding you about purpose. It’s quite powerful so don’t forget it.
6. Reflect Daily – Continue to question and be curious.
