Here are the 5 simple steps to create an amazingly stress-free day:

Step 1: Get Enough Rest

Picture yourself as a rechargeable battery. It is normal for you to be exhausted towards the end of your day. Especially, on a busy day.

What good is a battery if it has no juice? The battery on your cell phone or laptop is no good to you if it can’t power your device.

For a stress-free day, you need to give yourself enough time to rest the night before. Enough rest for you may be 5 hours of sleep, 8 hours of sleep or 10 hours of sleep.

Whatever it is for you, make sure you figure it out. And make sure you don’t over sleep. Like a battery, once you’re fully charged, any extra charge at that point is useless and a waste.

So while recharging is good, don’t waste your opportunity. Disconnect when you’re fully charged.

Step 2: Start Your Day Early (not later than 5AM)

Starting your day early helps you stay ahead of the curve. It gives you a much needed “you-time.” Time for you to get in rhythm for your day.

Studies have shown that how you start your day matters a lot. So you need to start your day at the right frequency. Because for the most part, your day will sync up with whatever you give it early on.

Remember you feel stressed whenever you’re being rushed. Waking up early gives you plenty of time to do what you need to do and get where you need to go.

And if you have a long day ahead, starting your day early gives you extra time to work calmly.  Instead of rushing and yelling.

You can make yourself a cup of coffee, read, meditate or even exercise. Basically, anything that calms you down or pumps you up. You need the right vibrations to kickstart an amazing day.

On a side note…

I know this might sound insane but if you can, try meditating for at least 10 minutes.  Meditation helps you relax and focus.

Also, it makes you concentrate better and avoid worrying about things beyond your control.

According to an article by the Harvard Medical School, “mindfulness meditation can help ease psychological stresses like anxiety, depression, and pain.

Step 3: Make a Priority List

Organization is key. And your life is easy when you stay organized. If you want to make today amazing, you will need to start with a priority list.

When making your list, ask yourself this question: “what good shall I do today?” This is a very powerful question that helped one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, Benjamin Franklin navigate his day successfully.

There is nothing more satisfying than ending your day knowing that your top tasks have been done.

How you allocate your time matters. So plan accordingly. A good place to start when making your priority list is by using Steven Covey’s priority Matrix (see picture below).

Step 4: Energize Yourself with the Quick Small Wins

To have a stress-free day, begin by completing one simple little thing that energizes you.

Since how you start your day matters a lot, it is important that you start your day with a win. You don’t necessarily need a slam dunk or take down a huge mountain.

All you need is to conquer small tasks. By starting off with a small win, you build up enough momentum to keep the ball rolling throughout the day.

According to a publication by Harvard Business Review, the power of progress is fundamental to human nature. No one likes being stuck.

In fact, quick small wins boost your motivation because you feel like you’re progressing through the course of your workday.

So if you get a quick win early in your day, chances are that you’ll carry on the trend.

Step 5: Track Your Time Throughout the Day

Part of accomplishing your goals is keeping track of your goals. So if you want to have an amazing day, you have to track how you spend your time.

Write down what you’re doing as often as you can. This helps you sense when you’re spending way too much time on a task that produces nothing.

Most importantly, tracking your time throughout the day is a form of load management. It also helps you to realize when you need to shift your effort to the most productive tasks.

Again, think of yourself in the morning as a fully charged battery. As the day goes by your energy discharges slowly. Your rate of discharge will depend on the type of load you choose to power.

Most times, you stress yourself out because you’re spending 80% of your energy on tasks that are important but not urgent. Then by the time you get to the important and urgent tasks, you are drained.

By tracking your time, you have to know when to shut off unresponsive tasks. Tasks that have been buffering for a long time and leading you no where. These tasks draw so much juice from your power bank yet no progress is made.

The Bottom Line…

To make your day amazing you must run your day, don’t let your day run you. And above all, make time for yourself no matter how crazy your day gets.
