Create a regular and effective morning routine
As Addicted2Success.com states, how you start your day in the morning will greatly affect how productive you are and how you feel throughout the day. Create an effective and regular morning routine that will ensure you do not have to deal with any big decisions or crisis situations first thing in the morning.
Plan some time for yourself each day
It sounds like a cliché but the key to happiness and greater productivity is to schedule at least a little time each day for yourself, your hobbies and relaxation. This is the only way to prevent burnout or falling into unhealthy habits.
Never neglect a healthy sleep schedule
Sufficient healthy sleep is the foundation for success. Go to bed at a regular time, practise healthy habits that help you fall asleep, and lead a life that does not lead to anxiety and possible sleep problems later on.
Avoid alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and drugs
Artificial stimulants such as alcohol or drugs may seem to help you in the short term during the day, but in the long term they will have a hugely negative effect on your physical and mental health. Do without them if possible. Or at least do not overdo it.
Eat healthily
Healthy eating, like physical exercise, can do wonders for our minds and productivity. Mind and body are connected: if you do not take care of your body, your mind will suffer.
Reward yourself with a little something every day
Life is not all work, planning and constant hustle and bustle. It should also be a joy. So it is good to reward yourself with something small every day. It might be just a short walk in the park, a cup of coffee on the way to work, listening to your favourite music or talking to a friend.
Set goals and work towards them every day
The key to productivity and happiness is knowing where you are going. So set yourself a goal and work towards it every day, taking small, incremental steps.
