1. Waking up at the same time every morning

   1. every morning my alarm goes off at 6 am and it honestly just helps set up my day as well as makes it easier to follow my daily schedule

2. Writing to-do lists (starting small)

   1. making to-do lists really helps me get things done during the day. it also helps me so I don't forget my tasks. make sure to start small with your to-do lists at first. for some people, to-do lists can be intimidating and make them anxious but if you start small you can always work your way up.

3. Reading

   1. getting back into the habit of reading has helped me better my focus by clearing my mind and basically forcing me to focus on what's happening in the book. it honestly doesn't matter what you read but I 100% recommend getting into the habit of reading.

4. Finish the most difficult task first

   1. it's easy to get intimidated by your tasks so starting with the most difficult one will make all the others easier and no matter what task you leave off on, you will feel accomplished.

5. Take a mental health day

   1. often when we're working too hard we forget to take care of ourselves. so I recommend taking at least one day out of the month to take care of your mental health

*note: it's okay to fall out of line with your habits as long as you get back on track at some point

until next time xx,
