Well to keep this short.
I started my day with getting up early. And for me that's 5:45 am. I got into some clothes and made some space in the living room for some exercise. I usually practice HapKiDo as I did today. First some basic techniques and them some sword swings and combos. After about 25 min and getting sweaty I hit the shower, got dressed, turned on some of my favorite music, and made breakfast. Not much just a small portion of Muesli to get my metabolism started up.
So how does it feel? Well I know what most of you are thinking right now. "Oh, gosh, I could never get up that early, not mentioning doing exercise!" Well I was like that a few weeks ago as well. It takes some uptake on self discipline, which is doable.
There are a few things that helped me do this. A few blogs I read about productivity and life-hacking(why no links? Google your own I don't want to influence you on that). And Joe's Goals. I lets you track little achievements and mishaps in a very simple way. Looks kind of stupid at first but trust me it works(at least for me). I had used it for a couple of months before I really started benefiting from it.
I also took up testing a few GTD-tools (Getting things Done methodology by David Allen) I'll write about that later. You might have heard this from every other blog as well but it really helped my get my life organized and on track. If you thing you have ADD or something similar because you can't get things done and are procrastinating every other task all day long, chances are you might just be drowning in your own organizational mess.
So if you have been wanting to turn a few things around in your life, I hope this article gave you some starting points and some inspiration to finally do it.
How do you guys start your morning?
