Using Your Other 23 Hours to Your Advantage Part 3



9. Get on a regular sleep cycle
  • Keeping yourself on a regular sleep cycle will keep your body balanced and help you develop good habits to help keep you healthy and in the gym. I’m no scientist but there is plenty of research out there to support it so… check it out. Set a time for you to go to bed and get up each day, try and make it the same every day ( try and make it 7-8 hrs). After a few weeks you won’t regret it.

10. Organize your web information

  • In the age of take advantage every second and instant media, the internet can slowly suck away a lot of the time you have.  Therefore use a web organizer to help follow all of the blogs and news stories that are important to you. I use Google Reader to organize the blog posts of the people I follow. I check it at least once a week which allows me to stay current with the information but not have to worry about missing a good article.

11. Get accountable

  • Get a partner or multiple people to help you keep your goals a reality. Talk about your goals therefore when you might be slipping away from eating healthy or getting yourself to the gym (don’t let that happen) you have plenty of people to get yourself in check. They may be telling you something you don’t want to hear all the time but some tough love from the right person will help you get back on the horse.
  
12.  Find a new place to concentrate

  • I find when I really need to concentrate on a project or a study session I am unable to do so at my desk because there will always be some distraction that comes along drawing my attention away from what I am doing. I find going to a coffee shop or library helps me concentrate on my work to eliminate the distractions of the house.
