You know
those mad people that tell you that on the weekend they’re up at the crack of
dawn, have cleaned their entire home by 9am and had managed to put the world to
rights by midday? That’s me, at least, that’s me Monday – Saturday.
You will
often see me trotting to the gym before my 9-5 job and then sauntering home and
in my pyjamas by 5:30. That’s just how I am, I much prefer getting things out
of the way early, and then having some time to relax after.
Monday-Saturday
everything is planned to a tee with at least one list on my desk, one list on
my phone and one list in the diary by my bed. I am one of life’s planners, I need
to know exactly what I need to do and when it needs doing by, no questions
asked.
The same
goes for my fitness regime. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday I complete Kayla
Itsines BBG Guide, Tuesday and Thursday I do 40 minutes of cardio and one day
on the weekend I will do some gentle exercise. The night before, I will have my
bag packed and my gym kit ready for me to hop in to in the morning to make the
transitions that little bit easier for an earlier start – I’ve even started
pre-preparing my breakfast the night before so that I can have as relaxed a
start to the day as possible.
By planning,
I find that I rarely, if ever, miss a deadline or forget to do something. This
is definitely something I’ve had to learn at university juggling three separate
modules, a job, exercise and a social life. Each morning I will write down what
I need to complete in the day and work through the tasks, taking several breaks
as I go, to make sure that all my tasks are done.
My
housemates would often still be sleeping by the time I finished a nightshift in
a nightclub, went to university, then the gym and then returned home before
crashing in to bed. Planning and early starts aren’t for everyone, but my productivity
is so much higher now I plan my days.
As I said
above, Sunday is definitely my day away from planning and early starts, and I will
often be found toddling round my flat in my pyjamas until midday – balance is
most definitely key!
