Episode 6: Daily routine and why it’s so important

 

Do you have a routine? Do you want a routine? In this

episode, I share what has worked for me as I am in transition from a regular full-time job to a self-employed woman. My days are more flexible, and I can waste time watching TV when I really want to explore topics and opportunities and meet up with people.

 

I’ve written up some key takeaways from this episode

below.  I hope you start to ponder if you need a routine.  If you already have one, is it working for you?


Routines give us:

  • Balance
  • Strength
  • Adds ease to our life
  • Helps us stay true to our commitments and goals
  •  

    Does a routine have to scheduled out by the hour? No, you can create chunks of time or maybe only have a morning or evening routine.

    Does it need to be written down? Yes – use colors, print or

    create posters

    Should you post it in various locations? Yes – more the

    better. 

    Set up reminders – calendar, watch, alarms, sticky notes

     

    Time Stamps

    0:00 – Intro and the Importance of Routines

    4:14 – Creating a Flexible and Realistic Routine

    8:08 – Documenting your Routine

    17:18 – Building Trust with Self-Commitments

    21:08 – Being Kind and Gentle with Yourself

     

    A new habit takes 28 days – that’s the old saying.

    In actuality – it’s very dependent on the complexity of the

    habit and the person.

    Anywhere from 18 – 256 days; on average 66 days.

     

    Breaking up your day:

    • Getting Up
    • Morning
    • Mid-day
    • Evening
    • Winding down
    •  

      Brainstorm your “MUST” list and your “DESIRE” list.

      Do they match and how can you incorporate them into a single routine?

      Online Calendar

      Whiteboards to write it down
