How to plan your day

Learning how to plan your day can reduce stress and anxiety and improve your overall wellness. It will be easier to do the things that you want to do. 

6 steps to plan your day

• Prep the night before
  • The things I prepare- clothes (for work and my workout), coffee, diffuser, prep breakfast, & pack my lunch)
• Be consistent with your morning routine
• Review/update my calendar
• Put the most important 3 things you want to get done at the top of the to do list
• Check in throughout the day to stay focused
• Evaluate at the end of the day. Anything you don’t get done, just put an arrow by and add it to the next day

My morning routine looks like this:

1. Pour a cup of coffee 
   • One of my favorite parts of the morning!
   • To prepare- the night before I get the coffee pot all ready to go and then use the programming feature to start it the next morning. I come down the stairs to a full coffee pot.
2. Meditate
   • The calm app is what I use for meditation. I am unable to meditate without some guidance, this app is amazing.
   • There are so many different programs, 2 different daily meditations, sleep stories and sleep meditations.
3. Journal
   • My current journal routine is:
     • Manifesting the things that I want/goals
     • 3 specific things that I am grateful for that happened in the last 24 hours
     • 3 specific things I am proud of myself in the last 24 hours
4. Review/update my calendar
5. Workout
   • Getting my workout in early in the morning, just makes me feel better.
   • I am currently doing Heather Robertson’s 10 minute a day workout program, taking a walk or bike most days, and yoga a few times a week

   • Each morning I write out my schedule for the day hour by hour
3. To do list: Starting at the top are my top 3 priority to-do’s. This helps me stay focused on the must do’s for the day.
   • If I don’t get something done on my to do list, I just put an arrow beside it and move it to the next day.
4. Workout: I write in a brief summary of my workout plan.
5. Hydrate: keeps me accountable for my water intake
6. Meals: I write out my plan for the day for my meals and snacks
