What are some changes you've made routine to improve yourself?
In my personal journey to becoming a more disciplined individual, I have found a few simple ways to improve myself in all spheres of life.In terms of work, I have cut back on time spent procrastinating by setting time goals. In doing so, when I know I have a task to complete I allocate certain time periods to focus all my efforts on achieving the task or goal. For example, during my university days, when I had an assignment or essay due, I would spend two to three hours a day on this task, but split this up into one hour stretches, with ten minute breaks so I could make myself a cup of tea or coffee, or even sit outside for a bit. In order to hold yourself accountable for this, work with a schedule - either a hardcopy one in a poster-type format, or an electronic one. This will allow you to track your time, and see how you have met your goals - even the smallest ones.When it comes to family and other relationships, try to spend at least one day a week wherein you can just focus on building your relationships, and nothing else. For example, taking one day over your weekend and visiting your parents, or seeing your partner on a Friday evening and giving them the attention they deserve.With regards to health and fitness, try to make small changes, one at a time, in order to improve your overall health and wellbeing. For example, make a concerted effort to eat breakfast, and once this is on track, make an effort to exercise at least three times a week, for at least fourty-five minutes. Keep notes on your health and fitness, and at the end of every month, reflect on your progress and reward yourself for your achievements with things like new active wear, or a massage, or even some new supplements.And finally - stress relief. I try to make small adjustments to my routine in order to actively and effectively reduce my stress levels. For starters, I try to read for at least ten minutes before going to bed, and I make a concerted effort to cleanse and moisturize my skin. This makes me feel a lot calmer, and peaceful, which makes me achieve a deeper level of sleep. Throughout the day, I try to achieve a few minutes of mindfulness, wherein I focus on my breathing and clear my thoughts.If you are looking for more tips on improving yourself, read Grit, Discipline, Perseverance by Steve Williams.
What are some simple things about your daily routine that make a difference in your day?
Without a doubt, the simplest change I incorporated into my daily routine which has produced the most positive impact in almost every aspect of my life has been the introduction of a morning journal.Whether it be a phone, iPad or laptop, the vast majority of us start our day looking at some type of screen, and it’s absolutely destroying our creative potential. This was my morning routine for as long as I can remember…Instead of giving my brain the time to be its own boss and think creatively about potential business ideas (or whatever else I was working on), I was immediately throwing my brain into the daily rat race of keeping up with my inbox and dealing with other people’s problems, resulting in hours of lost time and mental energy.This is why the vast majority of people never maximize their creative potential or reach peak performance.Since restructuring my daily routine, the first thing I do after waking up is my morning journal…Sometimes it’s short (only a few minutes), other times it amazes me the creative outputs I generate; things I had no idea I was capable of. I literally write whatever comes to mind – simply letting my brain wander, it’s that simple!So many of us live a purely reactive lifestyle. For example, waking up, checking our email, and instantly reacting to the fires we think need to be put out right away.I wanted to stop living a purely reactive lifestyle by taking back control and giving myself the opportunity to reach my full creative potential.Give it a try. I promise, even if only 5 minutes each morning you’ll be amazed at the creative power you discover!I hope this helps!—For more helpful information on daily routines and maximizing the creative process, feel free to check out these examples.
Examples of physics in daily activities with their explanation?
Physics is spread everywhere in our lives, only thing is that not many people are able to see it... 1. when we walk, we push the ground backwards, and the ground pushes us forward in accordance with newton's 3rd law... infact we walk only due to presence of frictional force, we do work against friction to walk 2. An airplane flies due to application of bernoulli's theorem, based on conservation of energy 3. we tend to move forward when sudden brakes are applied- newton's law of inertia 4. we tilt towards the centre while riding in a circular path, due to centripetal force 5. when a hot cup of tea is left for cooling, its rate of cooling varies directly with the temp of the surroundings- newton's law of cooling 6. we stay stuck to the earth due to gravitational force of the earth 7. the frequency of sound heard by us of a distant vehicle coming towards us or going away from us changes, this is due to doppler effect 8. the most important: we see this world colourful, only bcoz evrery object reflects light of a typical wavelength, associated with a unique colour 9. we see a rainbow, due to dispersion of light by water droplets in atmosphere 10. we feel warm when standing in sunlight,. because the sun sends energy to us in form of electromagnetic radiations, which get converted into heat there could be millions of more examples but i cannot think of more at this moment of time!
How do I change my daily routine from being lazy to productive?
As humans, we are used to habits. If you don't work in your daily routine, you will get lazy.In order for you to become a productive machine that pumps out work like it's nothing, you have to start small. 1. Write down your goals. Every day!Let's say you want to write consistently because you want to start a blog. Great! Before you get your pen and paper, start with your goals. What would be a great goal for you to achieve? Let's say write 10 pages.Great, get out your notebook and write down "I will write 10 pages". Now every day when you wake up you write this down. Also write it down when you go to sleep. Even if you don't write nothing at all, make sure to write this down.Perfect, that was your first step.2. Start smallRome wasn't built in a day, you can't build it either in one day, so start small.In the above example that means, start with writing 500 words every day. Do that for one month, then increase it to 1000 words a day. The best writers I've read about write around 2000 to 3000 words a day. The quality doesn't always match their highest standards, but that doesn't matter, because this is only raw material that you'll edit down later on.3. Build a routineLazyness or being productive are habits you can instill in yourself. It's a matter of discipline and working at it every day.So start with building a routine. My morning currently looks like this:get up at 6am (if I oversleep I feel mentally like the day is lost)DON'T snooze, get up immediately and go to the bathroomat this stage my phone is in airplane mode, DON'T touch the phoneprep a special tea blend (Action Tea) while the water is heating, fill out journal and (big) goalsprep the tea ready and write down THREE most important todos for the daywrite 1k words, while drinking tea (1/3 of all todos most of the time)finish other todos before checking quora, fb, phone and emailYours might look different. Working out in the morning is great. Meditation is another great way to start your day.Build your routine and build your potential habit into that routine, that's how you manifest it.
How do I consistently follow a daily routine?
Step by step. Daily routine is bigger picture, when you look closer you can see blocks as morning routine, evening routine etc. These blocks are formed by one or more actions.Let me ilustrate it on my example.Morning routine:- get up at 6-6:30am- meditate for 10 minutes- do quick workout (25 pull ups OR 10min core workout OR 100 push ups)Evening routine:- write 300+ words non-fiction article- write down 3 positive moments of the dayLet's dig deeper to daily routine. I have strong reason, clear benefit why I do every action during my routine. If you want to build your habits, routine I strongly suggest you to find your reason and benefits for certain activity.My gains from morning routine:get up at 6-6:30am >>> from 9pm to 11pm I am usually not very productive, at the morning from 6am to 8am I am productive. It makes sense to reduce evening time to have more morning time :)meditation >>> thanks meditation I am calm, laser focused and have much longer attention span. I am able to have extensive discussion with people at the evening after all day.workout >>> sport is for me AMAZING way how to start day. I feel energy, great mood and I have no more back pain. Plus I am happy for small gains, increasing my performance over time :)My gains from evening routine:300+ words non-fiction articles >>> By putting down my ideas, by expressing my opinion I get clearer idea what do I think. It is similar to quora - by answering question I provide value to other and get better idea about my attitude.Positive moments of the day >>> Overall I focus more on positivity, kindness, gratefulness and other ways of love. By writing it down I save that moment to my memory better. Conclusion from my situation for you:1) Find your needs, find reason WHY you need to do routine2) start small, 5-10 minutes is enough for the start, build habit first
Child with special needs in my classroom, however parent refuses to realise her child has special needs?
First off, the school I work at is a private English preschool in Japan, so many of the rules that would apply to the US or public insitutions would not pertain here. Our school does not have a main principal or any special institution to deal with problem behavior. I am just wondering if anyone would have a clue as to what problems this boy may have. I have a 4 year old boy in my class of 11 children who from day one has needed lots of care and attention. His parents claim it is because he is "spoiled" at home and not used to a social environment, however I am convinced he has other problems. Some of the problems he has include; Has a hard time speaking his own native language (Japanese/Korean) and only repeats after other children or the teacher most of the time. Not able to follow a routine smoothly after 4 months of being in class. Cannot chew or swallow his food properly and needs constant supervision while eating. Will make himself throw up if put under pressure.
Scientific view/reason behind clumsiness?
Assuming you do not have anything wrong with you such as poor vision or lack of spacial-relation ability, it is most likely caused by low self-awareness.Low self awareness does not mean you are unintelligent by any means, it just means you do not have an acute awareness of yourself in relationship to your environment. If you want to change this, you can by practicing more mindfulness and being intentional in your actions. Try to pay attention to your surroundings, look more closely at what is going on around you and try to predict the outcomes of your actions before you take them. With practice, you will automatically become aware of the glass of water at the edge of the table, the uneven pavement, etc.
