Quick GUIDE: How to construct a perfect day
by Zain Amjad
The perfect day means getting things done on time. In other words, moving ahead of time in order to make incredible progress. This guide reflects light on the approach adopted by most productive people in the world. It includes the techniques and tricks to make unbelievable performance towards your goal. Especially, for those people who go through unnecessary struggles but without any fruit. To put it simply, these people get nothing significant done at the end of the day to achieve the state of self-fulfillment.
How do you do it?
Planning ahead:
It’s very important to plan ahead. Planning at the start of the day is too late. This should be done at the night before. The majority of the most successful people plan ahead. (Night before)
Reasoning:
At the end of the day, the human brain has got in the flow of ideas. Due to involvement in so many activities during the day. Neuronal activity is the optimum level. This behaviour is double edged. During Daytime, human body and mind is full of energy but lacks the necessary flow of ideas. Whereas at the end of the day, body and mind has generated a momentum of ideas but lacks the energy to put them into reality.
In order to overcome this problem, the best way to end the day is writing all of the crazy ideas on a piece of paper so that you can organise them as your to-dos list of next day. This process is called brain dumping. Where you just put down everything in your mind on a piece of paper. Once you do this, you are free from the burden of remembering things. You can just focus on doing things rather than trying to re-access the same ideas again and again. So when you get up in the morning, these ideas become a starting point to begin the day.
Prioritizing:
It’s important to remember the sequence that effective planning is the first step and action is the second.
Although you have hundreds of thousands of tasks on your to-do list! But don’t worry. Before jumping into action, just do one thing. Focus on the most important things first. The criteria for selecting the most important is your satisfaction level and associated consequences. Select five important ideas from the list which you think that accomplishing these would give you the highest level of satisfaction. So the objective to achieve that level of satisfaction becomes your goal rather than the task itself.
Once done with the selection process, there comes action. Now, there is a need to spend quality time. The quality of the time is not same as the amount of time. Quality is determined by the level of intensity with which you generate focus and your involvement in the task. If it’s diffused focus, then you may require more effort and time to get to the task. On the other hand, if your focus is as sharp as a laser. Your job is done in no time! Just in time!
