The Early Bird Catches the Worm
| Posted on August 6, 2012 at 6:48 PM |
The Early Bird Catches the Worm  Do you ever arrive to appointments early, or finish
projects, deadlines, assignments ahead of time? If not, why not? When I was in graduate school, I decided to complete all my
reading assignments several days prior to their due date. This allowed me to
enjoy my week without having the readings hanging over my head and it also meant
I did not feel scrambled and pressured the night before. Thus, I was able to enjoy
what I was reading and also had time to organize my thoughts. I would usually review
highlighted material the night before the class. TIP #1 SET EARLIER
DEADLINES Set a deadline that is earlier than when your project is
due. TIP #2 PLAN TO ARRIVE
AT LEAST 15 MINUTES EARLY Many people plan on being exactly on time which can often
lead to being late since life has a tendency to happen. You may forget your
keys, get caught in unusually bad traffic or their might be an accident on the
freeway, etc. If you plan to be 15
minutes early, that will usually be enough time for you to be on time. ….OR ARRIVE EVEN EARLIER… If you arrive even
earlier, take the extra time to enjoy your surroundings, relax, take a short
walk, grab a coffee, appreciate nature, review your notes… Some of you are probably thinking this is not possible. You are
just way too busy. If you are always busy, you may want to consider
decluttering your schedule or getting curious about why you need your life to
be so busy. (Also, you can check out this article http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/30/the-busy-trap/
) TIP # 3 GET UP 30
MINUTES EARLIER Wake up earlier and give yourself time to enjoy your
morning. But also give yourself enough time for sleep. Sometimes people
underestimate how much time they will need in the mornings and find themselves eating
breakfast as they are running out the door. If you are always feeling rushed,
that is something to notice as it probably prevents you from enjoying day to
day moments… TIP # 4 SAY NO TO
DISTRACTIONS Once you have made a commitment to finish something early,
other fun tasks may present themselves and sometimes it may be a well needed
break. However, if you find yourself consistently saying yes to distractions,
then you may be avoiding/procrastinating. TIP # 5 ENGAGE IN
SELF-CARE Make sure you get some time to take-care of yourself to prevent
burn-out. You will be more productive if you are feeling emotionally satisfied.
TIP # 6 OVERESTIMATE
HOW MUCH TIME YOU WILL NEED Sometimes people underestimate how much time a task will
take to be completed and again are left feeling stressed and pressured. So plan
ahead and leave some cushion time. |

Do not underestimate the power of regular exercise. It helps increase oxygen to your brain and releases endorphins, which help reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance memory.

I totally agree with you that the early bird catches the worm. When I was still in high school, my grandmother has been always angry with me because I am slow at preparing myself to go to school. I am always late and missing some important lecture on my morning subject. My grandmother helped me realize that being late is not good. She said that if I am still like that when I am in college, I will probably not reach my dreams. Therefore, I practiced being early everyday whenever I am going out to see my friends or going to school.
