NEW (2015) SCHEDULE FOR ME
PERFECTING MY DAY FOR MAXIMUM VALUE FOR ME
Though similar to past ones, this is a bit more refined to work a little better for me. I had to look at the pitfalls and correct for them.
RULES, GUIDELINES, ALTERNATIVES:
Email - Glance quickly through emails only for immediate must dos. No, nunca, never go through emails early in the morning.
Alternate exercise for busy days: 5 minute warm up, 3 high intensity intervals in 8 minutes
6-7 Wake Up, Exercise, Center (5 would be better)
6 - Wake up (wake when my body tells me it’s rested),express appreciation for this day, stretch like a cat, lie there thinking (write notes on bedside notebook)
6:05 - Arise, bathroom, at least 2 glasses of water, flip quickly through email for urgent while noting on a list which are to be done today, flip through Reminders Notebook for key "statements", notes on what I want for the day, or thoughts; set timer
6:20 Exercise (burns up fat instead of food, increases metabolism and mood for the day) (Have a machine at home to make it easier!) (flexible 8-40 minutes )

Necessary insertions
Usually in Flex block B: Email, organize, finish up notes and loose ends) - Note that a quick viewing of emails is done early in the day and during breaks, but the follow ups are, unless urgent, to be grouped for later.
Optional insertions
Personal email, watch interesting videos noted down earlier in the day or included in an email or a site of interest.
Reading enjoyable books of any type; audible books can be listened to right before sleep...
Extra exercise (not too intense or long) to "pep" oneself up, although little exercise sessions are performed during each break.
