Pause for Reflection: Optimizing your Day

time

What is one time of day that is particularly challenging for you? This could be a time of day you are most stressed, tired, anxious, etc… Perhaps it is your morning routine, the hour after lunch, the transition period between work and home ... 

Why do you think this time of day is so challenging?

What are 2-3 things you can do to make this part of the day easier? Be very specific so you can make these changes possible. 

Some ideas to consider:

  • Stop for 30 seconds - close your eyes, take 5-10 breaths. 

  • Make a list of things to do. Then do the easiest thing first.

  • Listen to a favorite song and dance it out.

  • Have a moment alone before starting a meeting or call.
