Want to learn more ways that you can build momentum in your daily life to skyrocket your productivity?  First, let’s start off with a simple science lesson:<\/p>\n

If you were paying attention in your high school physics class you might be familiar with Newton\u2019s 1st Law:  \u201cAn object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.\u201d (Physics Classroom)<\/p>\n

I was a total physics nerd.<\/p>\n

But, if you\u2019re familiar with being a human, than you\u2019ve also had countless days where you\u2019ve sat down at the end of the day, looked down at your to\u00addo list and realized that literally NOTHING got done. In fact, not only did you not cross anything off your list\u00ad your list actually magically grew 3 times bigger than it was when you woke up! Seriously how does that happen?!<\/p>\n

The problem is that you were acting like the first part of Newton\u2019s law. You never STARTED. (Maybe because you were acted upon by an unbalanced force like your kids, the black hole of social media, or Netflix)<\/p>\n

SO the question is this: how do we get in motion and say in motion like the second part of the law? How to we build momentum at the beginning of our day so that we ensure our day is productive and our to\u00addo list gets crossed off?<\/p>\n

Here are a few of my favorite secrets to building momentum for a super productive day.<\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t look back. Unless it\u2019s to see how far you\u2019ve come. Today is a new day and whether or not you had a great, productive day yesterday, start fresh right now. Holding onto negative momentum will not push you forward. Wake up with determination so you can go to bed with satisfaction. Mindset is half the battle! (Technology failing is the other half in my case!)<\/p>\n

2. Create a Morning Routine. Speaking of waking up, create a morning routine that has nothing to do with your computer or a screen of any kind! I like to start my day with reading, breakfast, a hot beverage and affirmations (and working out on a really good day).<\/p>\n

3. CreateaMorningChecklist.Thisiswheremomentumreallystarttokickin. Create a morning routine checklist of things you KNOW you\u2019re going to do. That have nothing to do with work. Things on that checklist might be:<\/p>\n

a. Brushyourteeth b. Makecoffee<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

c. Make Bed<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. WashFace<\/li>\n
  2. Shower<\/li>\n
  3. Get dressed<\/li>\n
  4. MakeBreakfast<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now imagine doing all of that and crossing it off on a to\u00addo list! You\u2019ve only been awake for 20 minutes and you already got 7 things done!! Seriously. Don\u2019t blow this one off, it works.<\/p>\n

    4. Baby steps. Once you\u2019re through your morning checklist, it\u2019s time to get into your work to\u00addo list. And here\u2019s another super important step. Every task that\u2019s on your list? Either mentally or physically break it down into baby steps. If \u201cWrite a blog post\u201d is on your list, that task now gets broken down like this:<\/p>\n

    Open Google Documents
    \nTitle Blog Post
    \nWrite out 5 questions you want to answer Answer Question 1
    \nAnswer Question 2 (and so on…)
    \nEdit text
    \nOpen WordPress
    \nAdd text
    \nFormat in WordPress
    \nSchedule Post<\/p>\n

    It\u2019s like going to the gym, the hardest part is putting your sneakers on but once you get through that you\u2019re halfway there and action creates momentum.<\/p>\n

    Breaking things down like this makes big scary tasks seem a lot less daunting. It\u2019s how people accomplish big dreams and big goals every day and this should be applied to every task on your to\u00addo list.<\/p>\n

    5. Start with creative task first. I\u2019ve heard the advice of Mark Twain\u2019s to \u201ceat the frog first\u201d\u00ad and some people swear by it. Essentially this means to do your least fun task first because if you can accomplish that then you can get through the fun ones too! I personally don\u2019t do this because if I do a not so fun task it kind of drains the energy out of me for the ones I actually want to do.<\/p>\n

    I personally like to start the day with a creative task. For me, this could be anything from writing a blog, designing an album or editing a gallery. I find I have the most energy in the morning, physically and mentally for these big tasks so it\u2019s best for me to do these<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n
    \n

    first. After a morning time block of a creative task, I eat lunch and then answer emails afterwards.<\/p>\n

    6. Have a reward in mind. This is no joke you guys. If I have something I\u2019m looking forward to at the end of the day or a certain time during the day, I get things done SO MUCH FASTER. If I tell myself I get to go to the aqua kickboxing class at the gym at 4:30 only if I make it through a wedding blog and culling than you better believe I\u2019m hustling to stay focused and get said tasks done. Reward yourself for your accomplishments and hard work!<\/p>\n

    7. Take breaks. This goes hand in hand with rewards sometimes but even in the middle of the day, if you feel yourself losing momentum, I suggest getting up and doing a few quick jumping jacks, sit ups or push ups\u00ad just for a minutes or two to get your blood flowing better! I swear by my workouts on days where I don\u2019t feel motivated to do anything and then once I workout I feel like I can conquer the world.<\/p>\n

    8. Write out your wins for the day! At the end of the day, write a \u201creverse to\u00addo list\u201d. Rather than everything you have to\u00addo, write out all the things you accomplished! That will be sure to make you feel satisfied when you go to bed, and it\u2019s also awesome to read yesterday’s accomplishments when you\u2019re making today\u2019s to\u00addos so you can build off of the previous days positive momentum.<\/p>\n

    So there you have it! 8 Tips for creating momentum and having a super productive day!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
