How do you start out your week? Better yet how do you start out your morning? Do you start out with a bang? Or do you get up, drag yourself around the house and just do what has to be done? With no motivation, no energy no nothing? I am a strong believe of starting out right will make your whole day or week amazing. I have personally started out both ways before. I have started out with a bang and I have started out like a slug and trust me the bang makes everything sweeter.
Starting out your week ~ I always try and start out my week with a bang. I create a list on Sunday night of everything that I know needs to be complete, all errands that need to be ran, all household duties that need to be done. Then I take that list and put it into my planner. Then I know what I have to do when I have to do it. I write myself any notes that I might need for the week to remind me of things I need to do or want to do that week.
I then also created a to do list for my clients of special projects that I know they have coming up and due dates so that I am sure to get them finished by the deadline. Creating a weekly client list is very important to me staying on top of my client work and also to being more organized. I have found if I don’t do this then I will fall behind.
I also pray on Sunday nights for an amazing week and let God know that I am ready for whatever He sends my way. I am ready because I have God on my side and with God on your side anything is possible. I pray for a productive work week. I pray for a productive week in my household and I pray to keep myself and my family safe all week.
I have found that praying and writing everything out really helps me stay on top of things, stay focused and stay positive.
Staring out your day ~ Some of the things I am going to mention I do to start out my day I have just started doing. Others I have been doing for a very long time. I have found that to start out your day positive you need to end your day the right way. So every day I end my day with some good Christian reading, checking my calendar to see what I have to do tomorrow and scheduling my client work for the next day. And of course last but most important I pray.
Before my feet even hit the floor in the morning I always say, “Today is the day the Lord made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” I then thank the Lord for the beautiful day and then hit the ground running. I found that if I drag myself out of bed or don’t look forward to the day then my whole day pretty much goes down hill.
I always start out my day with Bible reading, a good devotional, and prayer. I then move on to prayer, exercising on the wii fit or wii active and then a good healthy breakfast. All the above is super important to starting out my day.
I have found that if I miss my Bible, study, prayer time then my day does not seem to run as smooth as when I start it out with my quite time.
How are you staring out you morning and your week?
