I’ve been trying my hardest to live my Energy month as “high energy” as I can. Here’s some of what I do each day, many of which are routines that make good sense for anyone, really. I’ve just been trying my hardest to keep them in practice.

At night:
– set the coffee maker to automatically go off at 6am (seriously, I wake up most mornings with the jingle of “The best part of waking up….” in my head when I smell that coffee)
– pick out an outfit, down to shoes and jewelry, and pick a sweater/cardigan as well
– plug in my phone so it’s charged and ready for the next day
– wipe down the kitchen, putting the dishes in the dishwasher, starting the dishwasher if it’s full
– do a quick clean up of the living room (key thing here is putting away Zoom’s toys)
– do one of the Flylady Flight Plan items or de-clutter an area
– think about lunch for the next day, do I have something I need to pack up?
– read in bed for a few minutes to slow down from the day
– get to bed by 10pm
In the morning:
– Shower, dry hair, eat, get out the door
– If I’m taking Zoom to school, I get him out of the house as well
– check Waze (iPhone app) before hitting the road to see what route is best
– load a podcast before leaving the driveway so I have something interesting to listen to (Joyce Meier is a standard favorite, she has a new podcast each day)
During the day at work:
– Pull up my Cozi To Do list, so if I have time at lunch or between meetings I can tackle a personal task
– Log in to Weight Watchers, knowing that I’m more likely to log my points and pay attention to what I’m eating if it’s already on my screen
– drink water
– eat lunch and have a fruit snack at some point
– go weigh in on the scale in the work gym
What kinds of habits have you developed to keep yourself on task?
Having the Best Year Ever,
