Raise your hand if you’ve ever procrastinated? (Emoji with hand raised) I know I have!
We can reduce procrastination by specifying two things with our tasks: where and when.
By getting specific on where you are going to do the task and when you are going to do a task can cut down on procrastination.
By thinking/saying these out loud, you may even realize how silly it sounds!
“I will host a meeting at 6pm in the living room when my husband is working out in the garage playing music on the speakers” doesn’t sound very likely to happen!
Rather than, “I will host a meeting in my home office when everyone is out of the house at 1pm on Tuesday” sounds a lot more likely to be accomplished.
Do you think this would help you get tasks done?

Take a breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, then exhale for 6 seconds.
Do you feel better? I know I do!
This is called triangle breathing and its a different take on the same concept we’ve seen, read, and probably have done before. I’ve shared about Box breathing before. This is similar to that!
The goal for breathing like this is that your exhale is longer than your inhale. This signals to the brain that you are not in any true danger. Or you wouldn’t be able to consciously hold your breath for 4 seconds either!
Try this next time you are feeling stressed and let me know how it goes.

This is a topic I talk a lot about on here: accountability partners.
They are KEY. Find someone that you can trust to hold you accountable and vice versa, agree on a check in schedule and then check in!

A super quick tip to make your morning’s go smoother: lay out your clothes for the next day at bedtime tonight.
No more rushing around trying to figure out what to wear, no more rushing around trying to find that missing shirt you just love.
Take the time at night to look at the weather for the next day, your schedule (do you need to also pack some gym clothes?) and find the clothes you want to wear.
Wake up the next day, get dressed and you are ready!
Do you lay out your clothes or do you rush around in the mornings trying to find your outfit?

The internet is such a double edge sword. It helps us stay connected to family and friends near and far but sometimes it overwhelms us. And we need a break.
Today’s tip is to unplug totally one day a month. Feel free to start with one day then increase to 2, maybe every Sunday.
The break from it can be just what we need to feel refreshed and ready.
It’ll be hard! But I know you can do it.
Do you struggle with unplugging from the internet?
