Start this new “year” with a bang! Realize all your desires thanks to our advice! September is the perfect time to take stock and set goals in line with your future aspirations .
Define your goals
be more productive
Procrastination is often difficult to manage, especially if you want to become more productive . There are several very simple methods to be more effective, such as the “ ten minute rule ”. It consists of working for at least ten minutes on a task that you have been procrastinating for some time. Thanks to this technique, getting to work is less difficult.
You can also divide your tasks into several subcategories , so you have an overview that allows you to better organize yourself. Preparing a to-do list the day before for the next day is also a good way to prioritize your daily goals. Productivity is worked on a daily basis , so don't give up!
Eat healthier
Every year you tell yourself the same thing, and after a few weeks you give up? Like all good habits, healthy eating should be progressive . Especially if you have a diet completely opposite to your current goal.
To help you last over the long term , gradually incorporate healthy foods that you enjoy. Test new recipes and above all have fun. The worst enemy of diet change is frustration! So do not hesitate to make a difference from time to time. The key word is to be reasonable !
Become more physically active
Again, is it one of your recurring goals that you can't keep up? Exercising physically does not always mean doing sports strictly speaking. You can simply walk or go by bike for example.
If you want to get into sport, choose an activity that you like ! Indoors or outdoors, in groups or individually, the choice is yours!
Make time for yourself
To keep motivation throughout the rest of the year, listening to your desires is essential. Don't force things, take time for yourself!
The best way to balance productivity and rest is to listen to your body. If you are rested you will be more productive and motivated! Conversely, if you are tired, you will have no desire to move or work. It's a virtuous circle that you work on and that will become a habit over time.
It is important to congratulate yourself , even for small victories! A completely finished to-do list is something to celebrate, isn't it? Give yourself a moment to take stock of everything you have accomplished, it will boost your motivation! However, if you're having a harder time , don't blame yourself for being less efficient than the week before. No one is on top seven days seven!
In short, all your new habits take time to set up and require rigor and regularity . Your motivation can be put to the test, but if you keep your goals in sight, you will get there !
