Daily Routine that can change your life

“The Secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.” –Mike Murdock

“If you don’t want the(to) change, nothing will change.”



Every human being have some routine. But how effective is the routine that matters most. We should cultivate a healthy and productive daily routine to yourself. There are some daily routine suggestions below, one can opt as per his suitability.

1.      Start your day Early:
       I get up early so I can do exercise, read and do meditation. This gets me energy for the day, knowledge for the life and work. Plus, it allows me to complete my work earlier.
      By waking up early, I can get a lot of time for myself, family & friends.

2.     Meditate and Exercise:
Joseph Addison said “Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body”. Have a 60-min time for exercise and meditate daily. 

3.     Set an Auto-Pilot routine:
Plan ahead for the next day. What to wear for the next day, where to go, what to eat, what to read and what work to accomplish. You should have some daily activates on auto pilot mode like what to wear, what for breakfast, exercise etc.

4.     Prepare A Plan: 
“if you don’t know where you’re going, it doesn’t matter which road you take.” - The Cheshire Cat (Alice in wonderland)

Every day you should plan what you need to accomplish the next day. This way, when you reach your desk the next morning, you know where you are going. I plan for the day, I plan the goals for the month and the year then I will start in small steps and accomplish the planned target. It is awesome and you can observe that the life starts changing.

For FY 2017,
-         I planned to read 15 book and I am on my way and completed 11 Books as of today,
-         I planned to start writing a blog and here we are today, writing my 5th post on the blog.
-         I planned to learn a new technology and I am on my path to learn.

As Roy T. Bennett said, “Life is short. Focus on what really matters.”

What are the core activities you must accomplish or your job falls apart? Most of the things you do during the day are tasks which could be left unattended for a while. But there are certain things that are must-dos. Figure those out and do them before you tackle the less important tasks, like checking email and making phone calls.

In the Book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki said: “first serve to yourself”. The author explained this in many aspects like savings, investments, love etc.

So, Plan advance and start completing the planned task one by one, in that way you will get a goal oriented day and life.
Prepare your checklist for the day and life.
Write your plan on a paper or on a board (A place where you can see it, it will poke you throughout the day).

As I have posted in another post ‘Little things make a huge difference’. This small daily habits will change your life amazingly.
The compound interest principle applies here as well. Every habit will compound for your good future.
5.     Stop wasting time:
       In a day, we waste a lot of time on unproductive things like Facebook, Whats App, TV etc. Analyze your uses of this unproductive tools and calculate the time wasted on this thing and calculate the time for the month and year then you can understand the amount of time you waste on this unproductive tasks.
       I am not trying to stop to use this tools, I am just trying to say use but with caution because you are buying the pleasure of using this tools against most costlier currency of the universe “Time”. 
6.     Leave work and tension in office:
       When you come home from work, make sure that you leave you work and tensions in office only because home is for family ad yourself only, no work and related tension in home. Give time to yourself and your loved one. Someone said: “Work is a never-ending process”.
7.     show gratitude:
      The law of attraction says that “the more you show gratitude toward the things the more it will prosper in your life.” The law is applied to each phase of your life whether it will be love, money, success etc. So, show your gratitude to each one whoever helped you in any phase of your life. Make a daily routine of prayer to the almighty god and show your gratitude to him for the life, family etc.
8.     Get enough sleep:
      Henny Youngman said “If you are going to do something tonight that you will be sorry for tomorrow morning, sleep let.”
Sleep is the part of the day when our body and mind recover from the entire day stress, work and fatigueless. So, Have a 7 hour of pleasant sleep every night and sleep on time. The lady nature has designed the night for sleep and day for work, so don’t go against the nature.
There are many daily rituals you can opt for yourself. Give it a thought. If you plan on doing something, stick to it every single day.
