3 Small Ways to Make Today 27% Better
Quick fixes for when things are going downhill
We all have days that feel like they’re going nowhere. You can’t seem to get a grip on things or accomplish anything meaningful. You’re simply stuck. If today is one of those days, don’t call it a wash just yet. Here are three small things you can do right now to jolt yourself into a better headspace and turn things around — or at the very least, make your day 27% better.
Block out time for a completable task
This task should be something substantial — either part of a project that moves you closer to a goal or a to-do list item that has been weighing on your mind for some time.
Now comes the most important step: Estimate how long it will take you and block out time in your day’s schedule for it. Oftentimes, we fail to finish things simply because we don’t understand how much time they’ll take. We’ll either start something, discover we’ve taken on more than we have time for, and get fed up, or we believe something will take us so long that we don’t even try.
Create a realistic time block for the task, and allow your schedule to revolve around it. You’ll have at least one win for the day.
