Yesterday I received a lovely surprise from my friend and crazy talented DJ and entertainer, Mike Walter. He sent me a copy of his mini book Ten Things You Can Do to Have a Better Day.Â
I was heading out to the spa for a much needed mani/pedi (too much information I know!) and thought I could enjoy it while I was there… and I did!
This tiny little book is full of gems of how to make even just one change each day. He lies in the title… there are many more than 10 ideas – bonus!
Mike and I both have an obsession with productivity so many of his practical and relevant ideas will most definitely make each day better. Some of my favorites include:
- Get Up Earlier – love this, we get so much more done when we wake up productive!
- Organize Your Day
- Eliminate Distractions – truly the key to increased engagement and accountability.
- Avoid Screen Eating (this one was probably one of the best ones as so many of my clients… and me occasionally… do this!)
- Have your next vacation planned – anyone who knows me is aware I am ALWAYS planning my next holiday (or vacation as you say in the USA)
- Have sex – I guess I don’t need to comment on that one 🙂
Neen – what can I say? I’m flattered and honored that you reviewed my book and gave it such high praise. I really just sent it to you because I quoted you and wanted to you to see what an impact you’ve had on my life. The fact that you read it at the spa!?!?!? How perfect is that? I should have added that to the Introduction: Recommended reading places: The Spa, The Beach, On a Plane to Your Next Vacation.
Thanks so much Neen! You’re the best.
I did really enjoy it and maybe for your next print run you can include a ‘recommended reading spot’ instead of just additional recommended reading – ha ha
Thanks for sharing Neen!
Get up earlier, avoid distractions, very simple concepts, but easy to forget.
Screen eating? Will have to read the book to find out what that is~
thanks Mike!
