1. Get Up Early
2. Make Your Bed
After your restful night of sleep, when you get out of bed and take your morning trip to the restroom… Make Your Bed. Making your bed is a healthy habit of all successful people. It creates a tidy-ness in your space that takes minutes to achieve as well as making it exciting to turn down the sheets at night. Make it every day without fail because a cluttered space is a cluttered mind, and a cluttered mind isn’t very productive.

3. Create a Workspace
A workspace is absolutely key to being a successful and driven person. Whether it be a local coffee shop, a dedicated office, or a desk in your bedroom – make a space for you to work. A comfortable, clean space where your wheels can turn no matter what it is you are focusing on. Sit in a structured chair. No soft cushy bean bags or couches. It’s too easy to set your work down and scroll Instagram or turn on the TV and get distracted from your goals. Keep it Clean. No clutter, no strewn about paper and useless Knick-knacks. I will say it again, a cluttered space is a cluttered mind. Create your space to breed creativity in whatever form that takes. You will be pleasantly surprised at what you accomplish
4. Become a Master of Lists
One of my favorite ways to feel productive and accomplished is to make lists. Grocery lists, to-do lists, planning list – I just love lists. Create a to-do list before bed. Prioritize what you need to accomplish the next day and write it down (Don’t forget to make your bed!). It is a great way to set your day up for success as well as unload your brain. You can get all of those thoughts out on paper, and you are not letting them toss and turn in your mind keeping you from getting some quality rest.
5. Have a Routine
Create a routine for yourself. When I wake up I make my bed first. Then I get ready for what I am doing for the day be it hiking, gym, or a day out. Then I check my cleaning list. I have a list on the side of my refrigerator that breaks down cleaning tasks I need to accomplish each day so I don’t have to dedicate a whole day off to clean. After that, I tackle whatever else is on my list. This process keeps me productive and feeling accomplished. I also recommend spending one day a week planning a rough draft for your week. Of course, things will change and events will disrupt your schedule, but having it written down will help you make things fit your life better.
6. Make Time for Important Things
Make time for the things that matter most to you. If it’s your friends, family, pets, or a hobby make time to do it. You will not be fulfilled in your life and succeed in your passions if your soul is not full. Take time for yourself, the hustle will be waiting for you when you get back.
7. Give Back When You Can
The best way to put meaning behind your hustle is to give back. Giving back comes in many forms. It can be to volunteer at your favorite shelter or hospital, participate in your community clean-ups, or offer any services you can for free to those who cannot afford it. When you give, the universe will give back. One of my favorite charities is strengthinourvoices.org/ which provides a community and support for Mental Health issues.
