7 things every successful person adds to their schedule to stay productive throughout the day:

Successful individuals follow a specific schedule to stay active throughout the day. They adhere to it week after week, month after month, and year after year.

They are not superheroes who can work from morning to night continuously, and even if they could, it would lead to quick burnout.

Every person needs occasional rejuvenation, grounding activities, and self-care to stay productive for an extended period and avoid burnout.

1. Plan Your Day in Advance:

Create a routine that significantly enhanced my day's meaning and productivity. Start planning your day in advance. Take 5 minutes the night before to think about what you need to do the next day. Write down all the essential activities, from taking morning vitamins and going to the gym to reading a book or scheduled meetings.

This activity planning provides a clear overview of the day and helps maintain focus on important tasks. It allows you to gradually move forward in life by directing your energy and attention towards your goals.

2. Meditate to Start the Day Fresh:

The best part of the day begins with morning meditation. After brushing your teeth and before other daily activities, take 10 minutes to sit down comfortably and focus on your breathing. This powerful exercise helps wake up your body, creating a good foundation for the rest of the day. Focusing on breathing contributes to waking up the body, making it easier to continue with the day. Concentrating on breathing also improves overall focus.

Initially, the exercise may be short, like 2 minutes. As it becomes natural and more comfortable, you can extend the duration according to your preference. It's essential to let the mind be calm and focus on your breathing.

3. Take Care of Your Physical Health:

Exercise is known to be a great stress reliever. Physical activity naturally creates a pleasant, light state known as the Flow State (we'll discuss it later). It allows mental relaxation from everyday thoughts, generally leading to better well-being. The saying 'a healthy body, a healthy mind' accurately describes how a physically active person often handles various situations at work more easily, has a more secure personal life, and gains more respect from friends.

The physical appearance of a person often reflects their mental state and overall health.

4. Find Recharging Activities:

Discover activities that help you easily switch off from long, monotonous, or unpleasant tasks. Choose activities that assist you, whether you need relaxation or a mental, refreshing break. It could be a short walk, a quick shower, push-ups, or a short power nap to divert your thoughts for a moment.

This might not seem impactful from an outsider's perspective, but it significantly improves brain activity. Energy is restored, and the body begins producing happy hormones after a short break.

It's crucial to take this break without involving digital devices and dedicate this time only to yourself.

5. Create a Flow State and Use It to the Max:

Have you ever felt that thoughts flow effortlessly while working, making it easy to concentrate? This is the Flow State. Achieve it by placing your phone in another room, being in a place where you don't usually do everyday activities, and focusing on the task at hand. The Flow State can occur at any moment; you just need to notice it, and for maximum benefit, write down the thoughts that arise.

6. Eliminate Distractions:

Many people believe that using a phone or keeping it nearby is necessary for work. However, phone-related sounds or proximity can cause concentration difficulties and divert attention, quickly leading to dependency.

You may not even realize how much time you spend on a smartphone because it has become so normal. But minutes turn into hours, and hours into wasted days.

Consider if all the apps you use genuinely contribute to your development. If multiple platforms and apps do not add value or guarantee higher-quality work, consider deleting them. This allows you to focus on much more critical activities and increase efficiency throughout the day. As a result, you might notice that a few days' work can be done in just a few hours.

7. Set Goals to Strive for and Break Them into Smaller Objectives:

Create a vision for where you want to be in a month, six months, a year, five years. Begin planning the next steps that will bring you closer to achieving your goals. Plan this period into smaller activities. This way, you consistently have a real plan for achieving your dream life more efficiently and quickly.

In our lives, this is an annual cycle.

We can do a year's work in three months, but after that, we have to take it easier for the rest of the year. It's no longer burnout but an inevitable part of life.

Today, we understand that work is done in such cycles, especially for very successful and creative people.

Enjoy this time, rest, and take care of the foundation of your life!
