Pencil Me In

Today because of the pandemic, many people are finding that their normal daily routine has been changed due to no fault of their own. If you are someone that feels they need an external stimulus to get motivated, now is the the time to to use effective strategies that can help you structure your day.

Why structure? Structure can help us feel secure in the sense that it gives us direction, purpose, and a path to reach our goals.

Think about something you want to achieve. Maybe you want to write a book or take an online course . Now, brainstorm and think of all the things you have to do to reach that goal. To take a course you may have to compare schools, consider the cost, the time commitment, etc..

Write out what it takes to reach your goal. Goals that are grand are usually harder to reach. A good trick is to focus on the step right in front of you instead of thinking about how far you have to go.

Every day, set aside time to work on your list. By creating a new schedule for yourself, in absence of your regular daily routine, you may find you can achieve something you didn't have time to before.
