Planning to Get Things Done
Posted on April 18th, 2007 by Anthony
Do you ever feel like the best part of waking up, really is Folgers in your cup?
Personally, waking up in a *bad mood* can really keep me from getting much done. Maybe I should, but I’m not really one for making a daily to-do list.
Everyone has a general idea for what they plan to accomplish each day, whether it’s written or not. If you get up everyday to go to your job, that kind of takes care of your to-do’s for the most part. What about the days you’re not at work? What if you’re self-employed? Works gotta get done, regardless of your “mood”.
Here are a few ideas, to get you in do-it-anyway mode:
- Make a to-do list anyway, then follow it.
- Do something physical – whether it be excercise, yard work, housecleaning, etc. For me coming straight to the computer doesn’t help.
- Have a cup of Folgers – Classic Roast.
- Go ahead first thing – shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, just as if you have to be somewhere.

running or taking a walk for half-an-hour/an hour in the morning, taking a nice cup of coffee (fair-trade coffee hehe), helps me a lot
Your last point is, i think, really a good one; shower, get dressed, just as if you had to “go to work” or to an appoinntement.

Yeah, I think the last one is probably the most effective for me. But all could be helpful.
