Get More Done With Less Effort

Here's how to make yourself a top priority:

1 - Decide on some daily activities, rituals or practices that aren’t just part of life, like showering, that will help you feel balanced and energized.

2 - Put one or two of those things on your calendar every day and make them non-negotiable.

3 - Remember: the fact you want to do something is a good reason. No further justification is required.

4 - Stop telling yourself you don’t have time unless you get up earlier or stay up later. It’s not true.

5 - Be prepared for it to feel uncomfortable at first. Have a plan in place for when you want to go back to your old habit of putting yourself last.

I know you think you can't do this because you have too many other responsibilities and obligations. Which is why you haven't been making your wants and needs a priority.

But what actually happens when you put yourself first is you have more time, more energy and get more done.

Think about it. How much time do you spend mindlessly scrolling, zoned out in front of the TV or staring at a blank computer screen?

It happens because you aren't doing anything for you. Like a plant you've forgotten to water, you're shriveling and shutting down. Give yourself what you're craving and be amazed at how much more vibrant and alive you feel.
