Begin With The End In Mind
Begin with the end of your task, goal, project, or dream in your mind by mentally envisioning it and creating a written description or picture of exactly what you want the end result to look like when the project or vision is completed.
- To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination.
- It means to know where you're going so that you better understand where you are now and so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.
- "Begin with the end in mind" is based on the principle that all things are created twice.
- There's a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation to all things.
- Take the construction of a home, for example.
- You create it in every detail before you ever hammer the first nail into place.
- You try to get a very clear sense of what kind of house you want.
Exercise Every Day
Exercise every day because it improves your body, your mind, and makes you happier and more productive on the day in which you exercise.
- A recent study from Penn State university shed some light on the matter and the results are more than surprising.
- They found that to be more productive and happier on a given work day, it doesn’t matter so much, if you work-out regularly, if you haven’t worked out on that particular day.
- Think about starting small and then start even smaller: Here is a little secret.
- When I first started exercising, I did it with 5 minutes per day, 3 times a week.
- Can you imagine that? 5 minutes of timed exercise, 3 times a week?
- That’s nothing you might be thinking.
- And you are right, because the task is so easy and anyone can succeed with it, you can really start to make a habit out of it.
- Try no more than 5 or 10 minutes if you are getting started.
