Doing important things first

This statement might seem really obvious, but it is one of those common sense ideas that are overtaken by the hustle and bustle of day to day living. If you are anything like the old me then you might find that you start off your day with a number of things to do that are important – then the phone rings! By the end of the day you still haven't done those couple of important things that you wanted to do and you find that your day has been filled with interruptions and many other things that you never intended to do. This is despite the fact that these other tasks don't really leave you any better off than when you started.

This way of looking at tasks in terms of value is certainly a principle used in business, but it also applies to health and nutrition. If one of the most important things to you is exercise for example and you start your day off exercising – then you are already ahead of the game when a distraction does affect you.

If you struggle with consuming your full compliment of fruits and vegetables, but realise the benefit of doing so, then put the emphasis on this at the start of the day. Starting great and finishing poorly is better than starting poorly and finishing poorly. Of course, starting great and finishing great is better yet!

And of course if you are struggling to consume your Wheatgrass then why not try to do this first thing?

When you create a start of day routine – you must remember that it is your routine. You get to choose the most important activities that make up your day, but by starting the day with your items first you get a head start over the interference that happens when you interact with other people. I am not suggesting that you hide away for the rest of your life; I am suggesting that you decide what is important to you and start your day as you mean to go on (if you haven't already of course).

The reason that I wrote about this subject this month is that I speak to people who tell me that '5 a day' is a lot. They struggle to consume this amount of nutritious food as their day whirls around them, and after they try this solution they realise that '5 a day' isn't really that much.

If you are someone who finds it difficult to get on top of your exercise or healthy eating then try this approach to see if it helps to give you a push in the right direction.
