FULL TRANSCRIPT

---------------------

Hello beautiful souls. I’m Pascale Gibon, your host. Welcome to episode 311 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for tuning in.

This episode is a follow-up of episode 305 called "Focused Forward - Maximising Your Last Months Of The Year." In light of making the most of your last months of the year and creating effective habits, I will be doing a series on productivity and goal achievement this month.

We will together craft your daily routine with the objective to increase your vitality and use your time wisely.

I never used to be a routine person. In my twenties, I found regular schedules boring as they left no room for spontaneity. I have discovered since that a daily routine at the beginning, middle and end of the day is essential for these reasons:

1. A daily routine increases your productivity. Once you have established your daily tasks and activities, you will know the priorities to complete efficiently. Besides, clear expectations reduce decision fatigue and help you focus on essential tasks. Having a routine fosters a sense of stability that positively impacts your productivity.
2. A daily routine gives your life structure and ensures you manage your time well. Since a daily routine encourages better time management, it reduces procrastination and helps identify time-wasting activities. As a result, you can focus on the tasks that need your attention.
3. A daily routine helps you be consistent. The more you do one thing, the more you get to master it. Consistent habits lead to better results in the long run. In addition, being consistent reinforces your daily determination and commitment. It is self-discipline that leads to consistency. Therefore, for things to change, you have to change.
4. A daily routine reduces stress. This benefit is key. A structured day can reduce stress by providing a sense of order and predictability.
5. A daily routine promotes a work-life balance. A well-organized schedule prevents overcommitting at work and ensures that you dedicate time for your personal life, relaxation and fun activities.

The benefits I have just shared reveal that there is power in a well-structured day.

Productivity and efficiency are the result of a well-structured day. Therefore, if you are not very productive, struggle with managing your time well, consistency, self-discipline, too much stress and work-life imbalance, you may need to start crafting a daily routine and here is how.

In the chaotic dance of our daily lives, a well-structured routine acts as a guide. It is not about squeezing every minute with tasks but finding the most suitable rhythm for you.

Crafting Your Perfect Daily Routine

Crafting a daily routine will boost your productivity and set the tone for a successful and fulfilling day.

Let us explore how to rise and thrive with your perfect productivity daily routine.

Pay attention to daily care for your mind, body, and spirit to achieve overall well-being. Here are some helpful practices:

You can customize the daily routine we will create together to fit your needs. Remember to align your perfect productivity daily routine with your goals, preferences, and lifestyle.

Let’s do it!

1. Kickstart your day with The Power Hour:

The 'Power Hour' brings magic to your morning because you allow time for mind-body-spirit wellness.

It is essential to start the day right because mornings set the tone for the entire day. Consider incorporating activities like:

• 20 minutes of spiritual development
• 20 minutes of physical exercise
• Devote 20 minutes to personal development.

I believe the most effective way to cultivate self-discipline is by incorporating all three elements into your daily routine. You may feel like exercising your body but not your mind or the other way around. I encourage you to start with spiritual development to set your mind right for the day.

• Your 20-minute spiritual development routine could include meditation, prayer, expressing gratitude, or reading a spiritual book.
• Your 20-minute exercise routine can include high and low-impact exercise.
• Your 20-minute personal development routine could include an educational self-help book, journaling, or goal-setting during your morning routine.

The 'Power Hour' can boost mood, increase energy levels, and enhance well-being. Make the power hour a part of your self-care routine for better mental and physical health.

What about mastering your midday routine?

Mastering your midday routine includes navigating work and breaks

As the day progresses, balancing focused work with strategic breaks is necessary.

Optimize your midday routine by incorporating short breaks for stretching or a quick walk. It keeps your mind fresh and prevents burnout.

Allow time for a lunch break away from your desk or working area.

Next is creating an afternoon routine to combat afternoon slump and promote peak performance.

The idea here is to keep afternoon rejuvenation in mind.

You can incorporate activities that refresh your mind. Whether it is a power nap, a nutritious, healthy snack, a brief mindfulness session or meditation, listening to music, a creative break, deep breathing exercises, stretching or yoga, these rituals can uplift you for the rest of the day.

And lastly, let us discuss the evening unwind.

A productive day does not end abruptly; it transitions into a well-deserved evening unwind. The objective here is to slow down and destress for a peaceful evening and a restful night. Many individuals miss this step and find it difficult to enjoy quality sleep.

You need to develop a routine that helps you disconnect from work, spend quality time with loved ones, and engage in activities that promote relaxation like a 20-minute evening walk, soft stretching or gentle yoga to release the tension of the day, connecting with your loved ones to spend some quality time with your family.

Establishing a consistent evening routine before bedtime signals your body that it is time to unwind. Unwinding could mean reading a good book and drinking caffeine-free tea like Camomille or Valerian. Avoid caffeine and heavy meals close to bedtime because they create discomfort and disrupt your sleep.

What else could you do? Listening to relaxing and calming music promotes sleep. You could start practising relaxation techniques or journaling to clear your mind and reduce stress.

Creating a routine is an ongoing process of refinement. Here are some tips to fine-tune your daily schedule:

Tip #1: Consistency is key

Once you have established your daily routine, stick to it to improve your overall well-being.

Tip #2: Flexibility is key

Life is unpredictable, and your routine should accommodate the unexpected. Be flexible and adjust your schedule when needed. Embrace change as part of the journey.

3. Tip #3: Regular reflection

Regularly reflect on the effectiveness of your daily routine. Allow some time to review:

• What is working well?
• What needs adjustment?

This self-awareness is essential to continuous improvement.

4. Tip #4: Prioritise self-care

Remember, your routine should prioritize self-care by allocating time for activities that bring you joy and contribute to your overall well-being.

I have just shared a guide to crafting a daily routine that increases productivity, efficiency and overall well-being.

Whether you are a seasoned routine expert or just starting, the key is to tailor your schedule to fit your unique needs.

I hope you got golden nuggets from this episode. Remember, now is your time to discover the rhythm that suits your lifestyle.

Start now to implement small changes, stay consistent, and watch as your self-discipline and productivity soar. Here is to rising and thriving every day!

I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Until then, live your life powerfully, have a fantastic week, take good care and lots of love and light.
