Description

Wouldn’t it be sweet if you could quickly put together the pieces to set yourself up to have your best day possible?

I had a coaching client once tell me that they had had enough neuroscience, behavioral science and high-performance learning from the coaching sessions, and now they wanted to know how to practically put it together and implement.

Well, that is what today’s podcast is all about.

Today I am rolling out a list of over 15 different science-backed approaches that you can use to put together your best day.

Summary of Key Points

 Everyone’s version of a “best” day is going to be slightly different, and its going to change depending on context: A killer Tuesday will probably look different to me than a stellar Sunday

For today’s podcast, I am focusing on creating a day that:

• Feels productive – means you make progress on the things that matter, you get some things done
• Where you have energy
• You have focus
• Feel engaged
• Feel balanced

At the end of the day you can look back and feel fulfilled

 Key Parts of Creating Your Best Day

Remember, you don’t have to use all of these. You can just use one or two, or stack a few of them together. However, I find the more of these are included in my day, the better it will be.

•  Get good sleep and wake up on time without hitting the snooze button
• Do a Morning HIIT exercise session 
• Take a cold shower
• Eat the right kind of food, throughout the day
• Set your mindset for the day
• Set your tasks/activities for the day
• Work for 40 to 50 minutes at a time only
• Take short breaks between work sets
• Focus/Get rid of distractions while you work
• Complete your analytical tasks in the morning, creative in the afternoon
• Meditate – at least one of your breaks should include at least 2 to 3 minutes of meditation
• Lunch break – good food, no screen, incl. people, incl. movement
• Shift your mind at end of the workday
• Be intentional about evening
• Plan for tomorrow
• Stop in enough time
