Night Routine

There is a saying that goes your day starts the night before. I always thought that this was just some stupid saying and never put too much thought into it. After reading many self help books I kept hearing that common theme echo throughout every book. Once I started using the techniques from the different books I was reading I finally understood what they were referring to. My night routine now sets me up to start the next day on productive start. My night routine is to get my clothes ready for the next day, wash my face, floss and brush my teeth, plan out tomorrow, set my alarm, and read a book. I start out my night routine with getting my clothes ready for tomorrow because this was always the hardest things for me to do so, I like to get the toughest one done first. The next thing that I do is wash my face. This one is pretty cut and dry I like to get all of the grease off of my face and prevent acne. The next thing that I do is brush and floss my teeth. To prevent cavities I make sure to floss and brush my teeth before bed. The next thing that I do is the most important, planning out tomorrow. This one is the most important because this tells me what I plan to get done the next day and what time I should set my alarm in order to get everything done. The next thing that I do is to set my alarm. Now that I know everything that I want to get done tomorrow I can set my alarm at the correct time in order to ensure that I get everything done. The last thing that I do for my night routine is to read a book. I don’t want to get to detailed about the benefits of reading because I do have another blog posts that talks about the benefits of reading.

I try to get as many things ready for the morning as I can because waking up early in the morning is the most difficult part for me. If i have soccer practice in the morning I will lay out all of my clothes and pack my bag the night before. I will put a full water bottle on my desk to drink the morning to re-hydrate myself. By preparing the night before it helps me from becoming overwhelmed in the morning and hitting the snooze button. Give the night routine a shot and make your own and really personalize it.

Morning Routine

A morning routine is the best way to start your day. A morning routine can consists of anything that you want. For example my morning routine consists of drinking a full glass of water, getting a shower, brushing my teeth, look at my task list, and eat breakfast. I start out my day with drinking a full glass of water because after not drinking any water for 8 hours makes a person dehydrated and when you are dehydrated it can feel like you are really tired. This part is the most important for me because after I drink some water I feel less tired and I am ready to get on with my day. The next thing that I do is get a shower. By taking a shower right away I just wake myself up a little more! I also feel a lot better when I am all clean. The next thing that I do is brush my floss and brush my teeth. I like to get rid of the morning breath next because I also feel better when my mouth is clean too. The next thing that I do is look at my task list. I like to have an idea of what I need to ta

Exercise

Exercise has been a big part of my life. I played soccer throughout my life and I still do in college so, I have needed to keep in great shape. There are many different ways that you can exercise. You can lift weights, run, swim, jump rope, do yoga, etc. Other outlets like watching T.V or playing a game just make me sluggish, not want to go back to doing my work, and they also make me really tired and sluggish. I don’t want to get into too much detail about the negative outlets because I have a whole blog post dedicated to that called, “Avoiding Distractions.” I usually just use weight lifting, running, adn swimming but you can use any sort of exercise you want. After I exercise I feel really good about myself and confident and this thought process helps me to keep my day productive. I have always used exercise as an outlet from class work because it gives me an energy boost after I am done. The energy boost comes from the increased blood flow which allows more blood and oxygen to get

Cutting Out The Distractions

A distraction is anything that prevents someone from giving their full attention to someone else. There are so many different distractions from watching T.V to playing video games. I have personally struggled with distractions on and off. My freshman year of college I struggled a lot with distractions because I would always watch Netflix or play video games. I would get assigned a big project to do and I would panic and not know where to start and then I would think I have so much time to get this done I will just finish it later. I would then start to watch Netflix or play video games because it was more fun than working on my project. I had more fun watching Netflix which only made my distractions worse. I would also watch Netflix before I went to bed which would keep me up at night and have me wake up at late and waste so much time. I was stuck in a vicious cycle and I kept going like this for days in a row. I finally got sick of wasting so much time and being distracted that I deci
