Move & learn for a more productive day
Today I want to share something that I believe might help everyone;
I’ve always been in a habit of sleeping late, and waking up late, every single day for a very long time, it didn’t just destroy my productivity, it made it non-existent, thus one day I’ve decided to take action, and it changed my life!
I start my morning doing the Wim Hoff method;
You might ask what is the Wim Hoff method? I’ll discuss this at a later date, but for now, here's a video on how to do it.
The habit that changed my life is, I’d do a quick 5 km jog while listening to an audiobook, I tend to have an undistracted mental state when running, so I make use of that time to listen to an audiobook, using this method I’ve listened to more than 5 books within the span of a week!
Before using this method, I would read at most a single book a year, and I would always have to go back to the beginning of the chapter if I stopped in the middle, because where I left my bookmark makes no sense when read starting from it.
I wouldn't be writing these articles and exploring untouched territories if not for the amount of knowledge and motivation I've gained through reading multiple books in such a short time.
It was also proven in the literature that exercising boosts your mood, and improves metabolism and attention at the start of the day!
But be warned, productivity habits have a very dark side to it, people don’t know when to stop being productive sometimes; You have to set a time limit to your productive time, I end productivity at 4pm, and I choose to spend the rest of my day doing anything, and everything else.
Sometimes it cannot be helped, and creativity strikes! That is why I always keep the most trusted gadgets next to me, a pen and a notebook.
I use this pen and notebook to write down my thoughts and ideas without touching my devices, it is the perfect method in protecting yourself from going back to reading emails, or going on a working spree again.
I hope this helped you and I hope to hear your thoughts and feedback, so please don’t hesitate to contact me via email if you would like to connect, and I wish you a wonderful & productive day, peace!
