Welcome to Authentic Living with Linda

Welcome, My Friends.

This week has seen us enjoying putting jigsaw puzzles together. We have a table set up in the lounge always ready to be worked on.
I’m a bit of a super focusing kind of person, I set myself a goal to complete one area of the puzzle and then focus until it’s done.
Sometimes this has meant some early mornings to bed.
Which is not conducive to a day of productivity at the computer. Tiredness slows everything down. AND this is self-inflicted tiredness.

Continuing on with our monthly theme of becoming organized.
I thought we could investigate setting up a personalized morning routine, to increase your productivity.

A morning routine is a means of creating a structure for your day.

Structure means having a system in place to create easy and flow.
Discipline helps you show up for yourself and your goals even when it’s not easy or fun.

Let’s begin by gathering some details and information.

Is your wake up time pretty consistent or does it fluctuate?

What are your usual morning activities?
What do you currently do after waking up?
