Covid-19 isn’t going anywhere fast and the reality is we may have to get used to this for a while. How to plan your day during covid-19.
For many of us the biggest struggle isn’t failing to get things done, often the problem is poor motivation, distractions and time management. It can happen to anyone when they start to work from home or spend more time straying from their regular routine.
Here are 3 easy ways to plan your day. It should help you be more effective when spending more time at home. Have a schedule, track your habits and use a “to do” list.
1. Create a schedule
Plan your day/week in advance. You run the day, not the other way around. Some meetings may pop up at a moment’s notice, or life might just throw you a few curly ones. But having a solid schedule will ensure you can quickly get back on track, no matter what life throws at you.
Create and block ahead of time, plan them out. Ensure the most important things are “non-negotiable”, meaning that only a family emergency will take you away from what you have planned.
2. Track your habits
Keeping yourself accountable can be one of the hardest things to do in these situations. We feel like we have no control, what’s the point?
Well…tracking your nutrition, water intake, exercise, mindfulness are all things within our control. So in times like these keeping ourselves on track and becomes more important than ever. Not only for our physical health but more importantly for our mental health.
3. Create a “To Do” List
Having a “To Do List” can have a huge impact on your mind and anxiety levels. Think of them not just as a list, but a brain dump, so you can clear your mind, and not have to think about what you need to do tomorrow. Use the last 15 mins of your work day, make a list of what you need “to do”. Some days it’s a couple of things, others it’s ten.
Here’s a tip, each day have no more than 3 things that must get done! If those things get done, and the others don’t, it’s a successful day. Not only does this make you feel a sense of accomplishment, it also ensures you maintain focus while spending so much tome alone. Daily exercise will keep you balanced and focused when working autonomously.
