Time To Be Consistent

Here is my standard daily templates which is what I supposedly use for time management.

  • ☐ 5:00–6:00 → Exercise
  • ☐ 6:00–7:00 → Relax with coffee, free flow
  • ☐ 7:00–7:30 → Prepare the day
  • ☐ 7:30–7:40 → Review Flashcards
  • ☐ 7:40–8:00 → Write
  • ☐ 8:00–9:00 → CRM
  • ☐ 9:00–10:00 → Task Hour
    ~ scan Task List and see what I can accomplish today.
  • ☐ 10:00–10:30 → Email
  • ☐ 10:30–11:00 → Short created & Posted
  • ☐ 11:00–12:00 → Lunch, Nap & Shower
  • ☐ 12:00 – 4:00 PM → Project Time
    ~ scan In Progress List and see what is today. From Kanban view, move anything scheduled for today from

Now, I’m not saying I stick to this everyday – as a matter of fact, today I slept only about 6 hours so went back to bed after exercise and now I am at “7:40 – write” and it is really…11:10am already.

But, it does help to be consistent.

Successful people maintain specific routines because habitualness creates mood.

By keeping to a consistent pattern, we remove two things – first, stress that comes from not being sure we are doing the ‘right thing’. And secondly, reducing decision fatigue by automating small task. What do I do at 5am? Get up. What do I do before coffee? Exercise. Will I have time to clear my email today? Yes, at 10am.

Routine allows conscious decisions to guide your day instead of fears. It deactivates “fight or flight” responses by removing constant uncertainty.

But don’t take my word for it. Create your own time block, stick to it for a week, and remember – use check boxes! Get that nice little ‘ahhh’ when you check something off.
