5 Habits We ALL Need To Start

1. Writing To-Do lists the night before.

I started doing this after Quarantine and it honestly changed my life!! Having your day planned out slightly and knowing what you have to achieve is SO important and is underrated to say the least. Writing a To-Do list in the early morning may help some more than others, however I personally feel like when I write one in the morning, it just reminds me of everything I have to do, rather than just getting it done. It also takes time out of your day that you could spend being productive! Surely we want to wake up ready for what we have to do? I don’t know about you, but I certainly do!

2. Setting 20 minute timers.

I was recently watching an influencer’s recent YouTube video and they talked about this! I began doing it, and wow! It changed my life. If you look at the tasks you have written on your To-Do list, before you are doing them, set a timer for 20 minutes. 20 minutes is the perfect amount of time, as it is not too long and it’s also not too pressurising. For example, if you want to tidy the Kitchen, set a 20 minute timer and see how much you can get done!! It honestly makes the mind want to get more things done, as the end is always in sight!! Honestly if you start doing this, it WILL change your life!

3. Drink Water Every Morning.

I know this may seem like a simple one, but honestly it is AMAZING for your health. This will not only help the body to function, it also clears your skin too!! Water is the best thing to start your morning off with, it also wakes you up as it is cold. I would recommend putting a bottle of water in the freezer, YES the freezer overnight, and collect it in the morning, this means it will be automatically iced water and let me tell you it is SO refreshing! Water in the morning has SO many nutritional benefits, so why don’t you give it a try?

4. Make your bed every morning

This one makes SO much sense when you think about it. I personally do believe the statement:

“A tidy place = A tidy mind”.

It makes so much sense, like how much more likely are you to be productive if you have a tidy workspace? In my opinion, I think that I am WAY more likely to, if my work space isn’t a pig sty. And making your bed every morning automatically makes the room look tidier. It’s like a quick fix when you don’t really have time to tidy properly. It also makes it a lot more likely for you to stay out of bed and get working!!!

5. Saying NO to things sometimes.

This might sound simple, but it can actually be really hard. So often our schedules are getting filled the the brim, but we STILL can’t say no. Obviously in recent times, due to COVID 19, we have not been as busy lately, and I don’t know about you but it has definitely made me realise that maybe when things do go back to normal, I should lower my business and I get so caught up in everything! Even during Quarantine, my grades were higher and more consistent and I didn’t enjoy online school!! This just shows that if you are asked to do something that will take up a lot of time out of your week, or some time (. e. g. a youth club, sports club etc.) you don’t have to do it!! Now ofcourse we have our passions and there is certain things that will help us get through the week!! But those things that you maybe feel are not that important and may be swallowong your time up, consider quitting them, as maybe it could guve you more oppurtunities in the long run. Also, don’t say yes to things when you already have a tight schedule!! I know I’m guilty of this and I’m sure some of you guys are too!!
