Each bright new day presents us with various opportunities and challenges alongside with it. By nature and design, there is a level to which we humans mustn't go beyond so as to maintain a good health and well-being. Each of us has what we can call stress threshold to which is the maximum we can accommodate for anything stressful which we mustn't go beyond.
Stress can arise daily from work place, life pressures, catering for family needs, unmet targets, cooking/house chores and many more. Hence, there is need for a strategic living to manage all of these in order to maximize life and enjoy the best out of life. I will be sharing some of my personal life hacks and productivity booster which i believe will be of immense benefit to us all.
The first and major one is that of the power of planning. I have found out that lack of adequate daily/weekly plan is the major cause of stress and fatigue for many. The trick here is that planning makes us to see the end and walk through the quite many things we want to do even without we starting them at all. Through planning we put order and structure to things, connects them together and maximize time, save energy and save costs aswell.
Adequate planning is anti-stress. For example, i do my weekly plans on Sunday and through it i schedule my itineraries and set targets with everything documented. The moment i accomplish it one by one, i tick it as done which serves as a booster to do the next. Through this planning, i know my meal plan, work plan, journey plan, family time etc which makes me to be more organised and efficient in what i do without missing anything out. Planning doesn't take much time but lack of it can waste time, efforts and resources. Leveraging on to-do lists, timers, keep notes etc can also help alot in this regard.
Another life hack unto productivity for me is the personal understanding of my nature, likes and make-up. As human beings, we are different from each other and this simple understand can be leveraged on as a productivity booster. For example, i have found out that I'm nocturnal by nature and hence, i do some critical works and all at night or early in the morning which i have been doing right from my secondary school days. It's not so for many and hence, the need to understand one's make up and leverage on such unto productivity.
I believe these two insights as it has worked for me can also work for you as well. Thanks for reading and comments, contributions and suggestions are welcomed. I wish us all a restful weekend ahead.
