How a Daily Routine Changes Your LifeA. Carl has been following this routine for over 10 years — nap time, email time, exercise, dog walking and closing down his day. He thinks the biggest benefit of having a set routine is that you will start doing things you may not want to do. These things will become your habits. “You no longer over-think things and persuade yourself not to do them. Instead, no matter how you feel, you will just do it.” For example, Carl has wanted to get fluent at Korean for years but failed miserably each time. So this year, he is determined to achieve that goal. He has joined the “Language club” and modified it to allow him to study for 45 minutes every weekday morning. In just 10 months, his language level has gone from ‘survival Korean’ to conversational Korean. B. Your daily routine consists of all of your habits. These actions structure your day and make the difference between operating at peak efficiency and struggling to make it through a poorly-planned day. You can have energizing, time-saving routines, or you can adopt draining, inefficient routines. The choice is up to you. An excellent daily routine sets you up for success. If you make just one change that saves you 10 minutes per day, you can regain 60 hours of your precious time back each year. Recently, I’ve had an interview with a renowned productivity and time management coach, Carl Pullein, about his daily routine. C. With daily routines, you will be taking baby steps consistently towards your goal over a period of time. Having a daily routine helps you focus on the important things in life. “My closing down routine at the end of the day – I call my “Golden Ten” – is where I can see the big picture of what I am trying to achieve. This allows me ten minutes each day to review how I am doing on my goals and set objectives for the next day that will help me achieve my goals. It’s a way to make sure I am moving in the right direction and if I am not, I can make any necessary adjustments.” Having a daily routine not only makes you more efficient, it also eliminates your need to waste time deciding what to do next. It’ll help youbuild good habits and break bad ones. It seems counter-intuitive, but adding some structure to your life can set you free. D. “I wake up at 5 AM every weekday morning and spend the first 45 minutes studying Korean and then 15 minutes in quiet meditation. At 6 AM I will check my email for 20 minutes. 10:00 AM is nap time, usually 20 to 40 minutes. It depends on how tired I feel but I try to allow a complete hour for resting. 2 PM is exercise time. This has set days. Sunday to Thursday are exercise days and at 2 PM on those days, I will stop what I am doing and do my exercise for the day. 8:30 PM is 40 minutes dog walking. During that time I have no digital devices with me. It’s just me and my dog and nature. This is the best time of the day for reflection and idea generation. At 10 PM, I will close down my day with a set routine of some basic admin tasks, setting my objectives for the next day and closing out my journal for the day. This usually lasts around 30 minutes. Then it is bed time around 11 PM.” b. Do you plan your daily routine? Why? / Why not? c. Take a vote and make three groups. The first group gives the ideas proving the benefits of planning a day. The second group points out the negative sides of a poor-planned day. And the third group gives the reasons for planning a day not being necessary.

During the week I usually wake up at 6.30 am. I sometimes lie in bed for 5 – 10 minutes but then I have to get up and put on clothes. Most evenings I go to bed at about 11.30 pm, and usually go to sleep/fall asleep very quickly. If I have a late night (opposite an early night), it’s easy to oversleep the next morning, then I may be late for work. If I can, I have a sleep in the afternoon. At weekends I often have a lie-in, for example till 9.30. Food
In the week I have breakfast at 7.00 am, lunch at 1.00, and dinner around 7.00 am. I also have one or two snacks, e.g. a cake or biscuits during the day. As I live alone/on my own, I have to make my own breakfast and dinner, but during the week I don’t bother to cook very much. I also have to feed my cats twice a day. Work
In the morning I leave home about 8.15 am and get to work by 9 am. I have a lunch break from 1 – 2 pm, and usually a couple of short breaks during a day. I leave work at about 5.30 and get home at about 6.15. Spare time
In the week I usually stay in and watch TV or read in the evening. At the weekend I go out, e.g. go to the cinema or disco, but I also have friends for dinner, or friends come around to play cards, e.g. poker or bridge. Housework
I do the shopping on Saturday. Fortunately, I have a cleaner and she does most of the housework: she does my washing, she does the washing-up and most of the ironing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
