” Daily Rituals”
I started reading this book and it intrigued me on how people spend their day. The book is fascinating because it gives you a window into what people’s Daily Rituals entail.
I got to thinking of how I spend my day. It is definitely not at the 100% level I would want it to be. However‚ I am not laying on the couch‚in a bathrobe‚ glued to the tube‚ and eating bon bon’s all day. I do not feel that I am a total loser. I do know that I am doing a couple things right.
My day starts at six am‚ when I wake up with my husband for the day. I make us coffee and a protein shake. Then‚ I write in my “Five-Minute Journal.” It helps start my day out on a positive note. Next‚ I read a little bit with my husband before he goes off to work. Soon after‚ I check my Amazon‚ E bay‚ and Craigslist account to see if I hit the jackpot. Maybe I sold that expensive item that I’d been wanting to get rid of. Following that‚ if I have sold and item‚ I package it‚ head out‚ get my Circle K coffee‚ and ship it off to the post office.
The rest of the day is not always planned. I find it hard for me to sit down and write on a schedule. Sometimes‚ I have to throw myself onto the desk‚ and force myself to write. Even if it is a giant‚ chicken-scratch mess. My procrastination habits are Pinterest‚ Twitter‚ Facebook‚ looking up decorating ideas‚ and throw in a movie that I probably have memorized by now.
Okay‚ so there are some habits I want to get rid of. However‚ I am not ready to take an oath‚ and pledge that I will be structured from sun up till sun down. I am willing to put in some elbow grease and push myself to be greater.
What does your typical day consist of?

Tim Ferris watched the James Bond movie every night in the background while he wrote one of his 4 hour books.
