Did you Forget to Eat Lunch?
Depending on the type of person you are, you may find the only way to accomplish anything in a day is to use a calendar and plan your day out to the minute. While that doesn’t work for everyone, there are a lot of people that must do it this way or they won’t reach success.
If you are this way or you have in-person, phone calls, or trainings you put on in a day, the only way to make sure you remember what you have to do is put it on a calendar. You can use an online calendar like Google Calendar or you can use a paper calendar that sits in front of you on your desk.
Planning your day like a doctor does with patience’s will work and you’ll be less likely to forget something you have to do on any given day. One thing that’s important to include in your calendar is breaks. If you must take a break during mid-morning and mid-afternoon to clear your head so you can continue to focus, it’s a good idea to schedule them so you don’t book yourself solid from start to finish.
Here are a few things to consider adding to your calendar each day.
1. Coffee Break
2. Lunch Break
3. Exercise Time
4. Email Time
5. Writing Time
6. Family Time
As you can see from this short list, there are a number of things you may need to get in during a day. Adding these to your calendar doesn’t mean you are a terrible and forgetful person, it just means you’re very busy and want to be organized, prepared, and successful.
Don’t be afraid or feel stupid to schedule your day like a doctor. It’s better to do what you need to do so you have time to eat lunch or exercise than it is to overbook yourself and forget to do something important.
