Please forgive some of the poor audio, and my getting sidetracked by a couple of questions. In this episode, you’re going to hear my 5 methods that help to ensure I personally have a great day. I hope you enjoy it, and are able to apply some of the tips in your own life.<br> <br> Cassy Joy: So, today what we’re going to talk about is how to have a happier, healthier day. And I have prepared some notes, and I’m going to kind of work through them, but I would love to see this kind of turn into a forum and would like to get your thoughts as we’re working through it.<br> <br> Alrighty; so to start off, what we’re going to talk about today. You know, it’s really just some basic stuff that sounds so common sense; yeah, it’s like a forum, exactly! I have to do better about responding to you guys without derailing my thoughts. I’m going to work on being a better multitasker. These are really, really basic practices, and they kind of sound like “no-duh” moments. They’re going to sound very intuitive, but at the end of the day these are all these things I personally have to remind myself of and I’m not always great about staying on top of them. So I think it’s good just to flesh these ideas out, and talk about things that we can do both today and tomorrow to make tomorrow a really, really great day.<br> <br> Thank you guys so much for inviting followers; I really appreciate that. This is going to a pretty short scope; probably 15 minutes or so, just to give yourself an idea.<br> <br> So let’s jump into it. Basic practices that make a huge difference, right? We all have a lot of things going on. We’ve got a lot of goals, we’ve got a lot of balls up in the air. I constantly have the analogy of little plates on dowels that we’re spinning and we’re trying to keep all of them balanced and we have to move from one plate to another to spin it, and thanks again for inviting followers guys. I think there’s a way to really maximize your efforts and feel like you’re still in control. Because what we really want to avoid is that feeling at the end of the day; it’s like 2 p.m. rolls around and we feel like we’re just now starting the day. Has anybody else ever had that feeling? Where you start off with great intentions, you jump out of bed in the morning, and then you start working on some things, maybe you hadn’t planned on working on. You unload the dishwasher, and that turns into; oh, you know I really need to go to the grocery store and restock on this, and the next thing you know the afternoon rolls around and you’re just now jumping into the things that you really wanted to accomplish for that day.<br> <br> So this whole idea that I want to talk about is things we can do to put ourselves in the driver’s seat really purposefully and make the most happen.<br> <br> So tip number one; I say we write tomorrow’s to-do list today. And again, this might sound like a, “well, no kidding,” moment to a lot of people listening, but I’m the kind of person that, in the past I like to write the to-do list first thing in the morning. I’d sit down with my cup of coffee, and I’d think; oh, these are the things I want to do today. And I’d write them down, and I would say; that’s my plan. However, let me tell you the reason why; it’s exactly right. It is so easy to do small house chores instead of the big important thing.
