Driving back from South Carolina I talked to Scott about time management goals.
I'm most creative in the mornings, so anything I can do the night before when I'm less creative will make better use of my time. I can lay out my clothes the night before. I can also lay out items to make preparing breakfast quicker and even supplies to make my lunch for work.
Scott told me he never hits the snooze button on his alarm and stretching gives him more energy. I'm still trying to come to grips with never hitting the snooze button. Maybe stretching will come.
Scott also shared that if he's in charge of preparing dinner, he washes dishes as he goes along. While the meat is on the grill, he'll wash the dishes he's already gotten dirty. When they finish dinner there's less time wasted cleaning up.
I love to listen to music, but certain songs distract me from my writing. I need to work with no music or play instrumental CDs that won't interrupt my concentration.
Also, if I'm stuck, it's good to move around for a few minutes and come back. This year when I get mentally blocked, I'll take the dog out for a short walk.
What about healthy eating? Are you more productive when you eat healthy foods? I think I work better if I don't eat high fat foods.
What about you? Do you have any tips to share?
I think it all depends on the type of fat, because there are good fats and there are bad fats in foods. I must say that since I stopped eating beef I feel much better. I still eat meat, but it was the beef that was causing problems for me. And I eat very little pasta. You have a lovely blog. God bless you. Happy New Year and warm greetings from Montreal, Canada. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by and sharing, Linda. You're right. There are good fats. Avacados are one of my favorite 'good fats.'
ReplyDeleteI am not good at time management lately. My husband is buying me a Franklin Planner, LOL.
ReplyDeleteNice. Hope it helps!
