On the Mat: Deep lunge with twist
Off the Mat: Today’s podcast is in response to quite a few questions relating to setting up one’s day and making things happen in a mindfully extravagant way. Stay tuned for all the scoop.
Benjamin Franklin said, "Do you love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff that life is made of."
Hip & Tranquil Time Management - how to organize a busy schedule
Question from Reader: "How do you keep things straight? How do you prioritize your to dos? What does it look like for you? Do you use to do lists on paper or palm? Do you list your personal and work related things together? Do you have an online calendar that reminds you what is coming up or what tasks you have? I have my own small biz that I am starting plus a part time office job, plus 2 kids and a dog. I keep lists of to -dos but to be honest, it seems like I end up consulting these things less and remember things in my head. When I come up with ideas or things to do, I am not sure where to add them. I have a palm that I synch with my outlook but find I am not always in front of my computer. What are your tricks? Do you operate from day to day on an organic level or are you strict with your schedule? I love the idea of scheduling me time - and my husband gives me Sat morns off to do my own thing."
A few hip and tranquil suggestions:
1. Plan your week each Sunday.
2. Plan tomorrow the night before.
3. Review the day’s to-dos and re-prioritize accordingly.
4. Ask yourself “What is the best use of my time?”
5. Consider what tasks or activities will give you the best outcome and return on your time. The 80/20 rule may help.
6. Have top goals nearby.
7. Ask yourself “Does this action get me closer to my larger goals?”
8. Think you don’t have enough time in the day to conquer certain things, set a kitchen timer for 15 minutes and make yourself do it.
9. Create a morning ritual. Ex. Green tea, smoothie, 10 minutes of sun salutes.
10. Breathe!
Omwork: To encourage a sense of diving deeper into today’s podcast, I will post Omwork relating to this segment on our HTC forum. Please connect with fellow HTCs there and play with the following:
1. Ask yourself “What is the most valuable use of my time at this moment?"
2. What is your morning ritual?
3. How do you stay on track with your goals?
