Happy Easter, everyone! Here we are in a new month and with a new month come new opportunities and new goals to be set.

This month’s focus is: eliminating distractions.

Like the rest of us (probably…I shouldn’t generalize), I enjoy unwinding with a Netflix show or spending countless hours on Pinterest pinning recipes or clothing ideas or exercise ideas (rather than actually exercising).

This month is going to be a busy one:

• My first draft of my master’s thesis is due in three weeks from today.
• I am going on a trip at the end of the month
• My friend is visiting next week
• I am helping develop a training guide for work

Goals:

• Get work done each night.
• No Netflix as breaks, unwind at the end of the night when productivity has decreased
• Take breaks with music, short youtube videos, or stretching. If surfing on Pinterest, set timer on phone
• Go to the gym 2-3 times a week
• Reduce the amount of dairy and grains I am consuming – perhaps reintroduce a paleo-type diet.
• Use the Self-Control app when working on my thesis so there is no access to social media during that time.
• Make lists to help make tasks more manageable
• Have a bit of a social life (if possible)
• Meditate 2 times a day
