Do you get up and attack the day? Do you make sure that your morning is planned? Exercise or get right into the shower? Have that first cup of coffee and journal? Or do you prefer to slowly start your day? Do you hit snooze a few times then stay in your pajamas for a while. Eventually taking a shower and getting dressed. What happens to the rest of your day? If you attack the day is the rest of your day just as productive? If you move slowly into your day does the rest of your day go at the same speed?

I’ve noticed lately, at least with me, if I attack the day then my ENTIRE day is extremely productive and I end up being well accomplished at the end of the day. If I slowly start my day and hang out in my pajamas for a while then I rarely get to a point of feeling that energy and completing tasks throughout the day. I continue moving at a slower pace and taking more rest.

I don’t like the idea that my entire day is being controlled by my morning energy. But, I know that I can change this attitude throughout the day. I think the easier course will be for me to try to attack the day rather than try to reverse course mid-day. It will require less energy to get up and get moving than trying to do it later in the day when I’m already lacking energy. Or is this really a symptom of being a procrastinator?
