I spend a lot of days drifting from one task to the next and end up feeling like I didn’t do much of anything. Tuesdays are my worst – at work, we call them “Terrible Tuesdays” because you’re lacking that Monday spark and motivation, yet the weekend is nowhere in sight. (Today’s not quite as bad for me, since I had yesterday off – so it’s more like a Monday than a Tuesday. Love that.) So today, I’m planning to make it an awesome day. Here’s how:
- Be totally present and focused on whatever I’m doing. No letting my mind jump ahead to start stressing about the next task while I’m still working on the present task. I’ll just be there, with my mind zeroed in on whatever it is doing at the time.
- Eat a super healthy lunch. I have one packed! Green salad with sliced peaches, goat cheese and a few chopped pecans; leftover tofu in red curry sauce from the weekend; grapes.
- And while I’m eating that super healthy lunch, take a REAL break from the computer.
- Mail some (overdue) birthday cards I owe people.
- Relax with a book this evening, and don’t get distracted or jump around cleaning.
Happy Tuesday! Let’s make it a good one.
