Minimalist to be a Maximalist.
In order to be a maximalist, you have to become a minimalist.
Decision fatigue: We should realize we have limited energy and devote it only to things that really matter.
Minimalist/Maximalist Performance Practices:
- Consider all the decisions you make every day.
- Identify the ones that are truly unimportant to you (in the long run)
- Automate as many of these decisions as possible:
- Clothing
- Meals
- Social
- Time blocking
- Eliminate gossip, politics, what others think or you, etc.
- Consider the ripple effect of larger decisions, i.e., commute time, financial pressures, etc.
Your Chronotype: Bear, Wolf, Lion, or Dolphin
The first step in designing your optimal day is to determine what to do (and what NOT to do). The second thing to determine when do them.
The Morning Evening Questionnaire:
Munich Chrono Type Questionnaire
Chronotype Performance Practices:
- Determine your chronotype
- Design your day accordingly – be very intentional about when you schedule certain activities, aligning the demands of the activity with your energy level.
- Time block the time when you’re most energetic and alert for the important and urgent tasks. Schedule the less demanding task for when your energy is at a low.
- Don’t fight fatigue, use it for recovery.
- Working with your chronotype not only maximizes performance but also helps to ensure a balance and harmony between stress and rest/recovery.
