Have you ever had one of those <\/em>days? You struggle to pull yourself out of bed. Every task you attempt feels like wading through molasses and even simple chores become painful. Maybe you\u2019ve had one of these days recently.<\/p>\n

I believe building momentum to be one of the critical factors for whether I have a successful day or not. Once you start procrastinating, it is hard not to stop. In the same way, I\u2019ve found putting a burst of energy early on in the day can carry you forward even when you feel tired.<\/p>\n

The difference can often be dramatic. By intentionally creating momentum early in my day I can often accomplish more by noon, than I would working late into the evening on other days. Although there is no perfect recipe for building momentum, here are some ideas I\u2019ve found helpful to start my day with an extra kick:<\/p>\n

1) Wake Up Early<\/h2>\n

\u201cEarly to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.\u201d
\n<\/em>
\nRecently I restarted the habit of waking up at 5:30 in the morning. I had been waking up early, but a few late nights were shifting my natural waking time to around 7:00, and I wanted to restart the habit. Almost immediately after starting the habit I began to notice the benefits on my productivity. Waking up early builds momentum.<\/p>\n

I believe getting an early start to the day helps for two reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Rising early gives you a small accomplishment to build on. <\/strong> If you feel lazy sleeping in, then waking up early will make you feel more productive when you get out of bed.<\/li>\n
  2. The early morning hours are usually quiet.<\/strong> I live in a University residence, so evenings and even late afternoons I can hear the bustle of all the other people who live on my floor. If you share a house with family members, waking early can afford you some quiet time while they snooze.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2) Exercise<\/h2>\n

    Part of the problem with waking up early is that you often start off feeling groggy. How are you supposed to work, when it takes incredible effort just to keep your eyes open? My solution to that is to get a bit of exercise in immediately after you wake up. This can snap you out of your grogginess.<\/p>\n

    Since I usually go to the gym during the day, I don\u2019t have a full workout in the morning. I\u2019ve found just doing a few pushups to be enough to get myself moving.<\/p>\n

    3) Avoid Breaks<\/h2>\n

    Taking frequent breaks in the morning is a sure way to kill any momentum you\u2019ve built. I\u2019ve found pushing through 1-2 hours of work shortly after breakfast is the best strategy to keep my motivation high. I try to wait until I\u2019ve tackled at least one of my big to-do items for the day before breaking.<\/p>\n

    4) Make Use of Productive Cues<\/h2>\n

    Pavlov discovered that if you condition a dog to expect food when a bell is rung, after awhile it will start salivating when you ring the bell. This was one of the most famous psychological experiments of the past century and it applies just as well to humans as it does to dogs.<\/p>\n

    The way you can make use of Pavlov\u2019s discovery is to notice productive cues you have. These are things in your environment that correlate with how productive you are. Then, by implementing them early in your day, you can build momentum purely by association. A few examples of productive cues might be:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Being well-dressed.<\/strong> Are you well-dressed and groomed on your most productive days? It\u2019s surprising what a quick shave and nice clothes can do to temporarily boost your self-image and motivation.<\/li>\n
    2. Abstaining from television. <\/strong> I find that the days I sneak a bit of television or recreational web-usage early into my morning tend to be low-productivity days. Making sure the television doesn\u2019t go on until I\u2019ve completed my to-do list improves my focus.<\/li>\n
    3. Music\/Motivational Tapes. <\/strong> If you\u2019re eating breakfast by yourself (you might be if you are having it at 6 am!) you might want to consider what you listen to in the morning. I\u2019ve found listening to motivational tapes to help build momentum.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      5) Create a Daily Ritual<\/h2>\n

      I started to implement these ideas by creating a daily ritual. My ritual currently is to wake up early (5:30), begin with 40-50 push ups to get myself moving and then read during the quiet for 1-2 hours. By creating a ritual, you can condition yourself to start several habits at once. I\u2019m only a few days into the trial, but already I\u2019ve found it to be successful in building momentum.<\/p>\n

      If you\u2019re interested in trying out some of these ideas, my suggestion is to start a 30-Day Trial. Write down your ritual (don\u2019t make it too complicated or inflexible) and commit to applying it when you wake up for a month. After that period of time the ritual should become automatic so it is easy to build momentum into your day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
