Like many of you, I’ve been trying to stay productive during this time of social distancing. I’ve tried using block scheduling, which my left brain loves, but my right brain rebels against. I love the challenge of finding a balance between polarities: masculine/feminine, right-brain/left-brain. This blog post from Jocelyn Glei helped me find a balance between doing and not-doing.
Today, I’m trying something new. I’m dividing the list of to-dos into morning and afternoon/evening. I’m a morning person. I think and create better in the morning. Tasks that need focus and concentration go on the morning list: writing for my memoir, catching up on patient chart notes, doing my taxes.
Other things, like exercise and yoga, are better placed in the afternoon or evening. Fortunately, blog posts can be done almost any time of day unless I’m physically or morally exhausted. Then, it’s better to give up, go to sleep, and begin again in the high-energy morning.
Question: Are you able to match tasks with the time of day that best suits them? Let me know in a comment below.
Evenings are my high energy time. I agree that it can be helpful to focus on certain tasks at certain times. Weekends In Maine
That’s a good point about finding which times of day you’re the most productive for certain tasks.
I hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy during this difficult time.
I don’t sleep well. Mornings are my best for doing most things. It’s when I have my most motivation and energy, both physically and mentally.
