E29: CHOOSE HAPPY • Choose Happy. Saturday mornings are a great time of reflection for me. They usually involve a later wake up time, a workout, and a good breakfast, but I tend to move a little slower not having to rush off to work.

This morning I woke up with two things on my mind:

1. I have the opportunity to choose to be happy today, or not.

2. I am looking forward to the day ahead and I’m going to be super productive!

.

I’m not going to be overwhelmed by the amount of housework I have to do, the amount of work I have to do for “Gratitude Everyday”, or “The How-To Scholar”, or the huge pile of marking I need to do.

.

I stay focused and upbeat by using something called the “Pomodoro Technique”. It is where you work for 25 minutes, and then take a 5 min break. After four cycles of this, you take a 15-30 minute break. This allows me to be very purposeful with my time, while giving my body and mind the breaks it needs. Download the app cal
