2010: A Daily Routine of Success

In order to achieve 12-16 hours worth of productivity this does not mean I must be working a job for all of those hours, but it does mean I have to be contributing to the actualization of what is on my goals list in order to be productive. This will call for a strict regiment of discipline, focus, and excellent time management.

In a perfect world I will set out to start my day at 6 am and hopefully go to sleep at 10 pm which would give me 8 hours to sleep and 2 extra hours of my time to be unproductive.

Included in my 12-16 hours of productivity daily include anything that involves my time achieving goals. So, if reading classical literature helps me produce better novels then that is seen as productive use of my time. Travelling to and from work would also be included in my time. Any and all research time counts as well. Basically, anything that wastes my time by not furthering my goals or making money is unacceptable and deemed unproductive.

I have just bought a stopwatch which will remain on my person's at all time. My goal will be to be productive a minimum of 12 hours. If I should fall behind that. I will require myself to make it up another day. Or perhaps I will keep a weekly time sheet and any hours over 12 I will consider rollover time to cover under achieving days. Or days I go on vacation. One can never tell what the upcoming year will provide in my randomness of life events. Prepare for the unpreparable. That's my philosophy.

Here are some things that I will have to do daily.

- Exercise (yoga, lifting weights, or cardio)

- one 30 minute Mandarin Lesson Daily

- Daily Blog entry.

- Some sort of writing (research, poetry, illustrations, or reading)

These are the four essential things that I MUST do everyday... No If's, and's, or but's.
