Transform Your Productivity with A Routine

“With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.” — Eleanor Roosevelt

Each new day presents 1440 minutes of new challenges and opportunities. Time management and discipline are two crucial elements to a successful life. When you’re juggling multiple projects or clients along with a traditional job, you might find yourself scrambling to hit deadlines, which can make the quality of your work suffer, not to mention your physical and emotional well-being.

I was a "to-do list" woman. I used to checked boxes as I go. After listening to Ashley, I don't use it anymore.The bigger picture is re-evaluating how I want to spend my time.

We all have 1,440 minutes per day. My question to you is this. Are you willing to give up today's rest for tomorrow's possibilities?

***This is what my day would look like without interruptions***

To give you a little more reality, typically my day is broken up with questions from coworkers, at least a dozen or so calls that come in at random times, and of course bathroom breaks.

Remember, productivity should never come at the cost of your well-being. That is why I workout twice a day and take Arbonne.

It took a couple of weeks to really figure it out, but this ended up being a very practical and very accurate way to design my days. And it is what I have been using. Sometimes, the events are just moved from Breakfast, Lunch or After Work Mixer.

I don’t re-calculate anymore, however, I know my averages and I have done well to schedule my day based on them. Now, I know how long it takes and then I can complete my work quickly.

Most days I do complete my work by 5:00PM and on really good days I have been completing that day’s work between 2:00pm and 3:00pm. Then I work ahead for 60–90 minutes to set up the next day.

Every minute is an opportunity to receive.

To receive joy.

To receive love.

To receive abundance.

Regardless of who you are, you are given 1440 minutes every day.

That’s how many minutes there are in 24 hours.

That’s how many minutes there are before the day ends.

That’s how many minutes there are before a new day begins.

If each minute were a dollar, you’d have $1440 every day.

Spend your minutes wisely. Love yourself and make everyday a masterpiece!
