HOW TO MAKE EVERY SINGLE DAY PERFECT & PRODUCTIVE

Everyone wants to have the perfect day, those days where you can end off feeling satisfied and full of achievement ready for the next but the reality is, they rarely happen. Here is a 'lifehack' however that will nothing short of guarantee a successful day:

Create pillars that hold the structure of your entire day. The best way to go about doing this is to create topics for your day, the topics being aspects of your life that you want to focus on every single day, things that are important to you.

This can be for example Family, Physical health, Mental health, School work or Business, Mental growth, Friends, Gym. The goal is to make the pillars whatever you want to grow on and narrowing these down to 4 things allows you to set your priorities straight.From there, the next step is to plan out your day, either using a physical planner, for example off amazon like THIS or a digital one like your phone planner or Google calendar. Planning your day and time blocking holds so many benefits, doing this you’ll see your productivity levels increase, energy levels increase and overall satisfaction increase.

Now integrate your pillars into your day, as you plan out your day make it a priority to include at least one of each of your pillars, no matter how little impact they have on your day, include them this way you know throughout your day you know you’re growing in the aspects that matter the most to you.The best bit is that as you grow and time goes on you can update your pillars to what means the most to you to improve on. This was you’re consistently improving.This results in a productive and successful day every single day.

ACTIONABLE NEXT STEPS:

Figure out what your pillars are, and figure out what means the most to you to improve on every single day. Not only this way are you going to start to develop a purpose but it will give you indefinite direction every single day.

TAKEAWAYS:

No one can make your day productive, there is no magical event that happens as what you consider productive and successful is all your own perception so start with asking yourself 'what do I consider a successful day?' and work backwards from there.
