6 Morning Habits (That Aren’t Meditation) That Help You Focus All Day

6 Morning Habits (That Aren’t Meditation) That Help You Focus All Day | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

You’ve probably experienced the frustration of being distracted at work. Perhaps you were pulled into a never-ending Slack discussion, and when it finally ended you struggled to focus on the task you were working on. Or a coworker criticized you, and now you can’t stop replaying his comments in your head.

 

It’s totally normal to lose focus after a period of time (which is why you should be taking regular breaks). But if you find yourself easily distracted throughout the day, you might want to consider tweaking some of your morning habits. They probably won’t eliminate all distractions, but you’ll at least start your workday strong building a good foundation for the rest of the day.

6 Morning Habits - very interesting!  I've never considered a couple of them.  The "Eat a Different Frog" is one of them.  I like the walking in the morning, although a really difficult one for me to do, while I'm a morning person the thought of walking in the rain really early in the morning is not appealing. The cold shower suggesting, hmmm, I may go for lukewarm perhaps that will help.

Everyone wants to be more productive. For me, morning habits are the most adaptable and useful habits to focus on.

5 Creativity-Boosting Habits For People Who Can’t Stand Routines

5 Creativity-Boosting Habits For People Who Can’t Stand Routines | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it
 

Scientific research has already uncovered some surprising facts about how creativity works. And this time of year especially, there's ample advice out there for those looking to adopt new and better habits and keep their New Year's resolutions going strong. The trouble is that much of that advice rests on carefully established routines—daily practices that some people just aren't wired (or simply aren't inclined) to stick with.

 

When it comes to creativity, though, a little less structure and predictability may actually work in your favor. Here's a look at five habits to improve your creative chops, backed by scientific research, that don't require committing to a specific daily practice.

Not all routines have to be structured to be useful. Sometimes it's better if they aren't.
