Wake Up and Smell Success: A Morning Routine for Healthcare Administrators
Attention all healthcare administrators! If you're tired of feeling sluggish and unproductive, it might be time to shake up your morning routine. Trust us; your future self will thank you.
"It's the Consistency for me."
First, wake up consistently every morning, even on the weekends. No more snoozing until noon on Saturday and Sunday – your body's natural sleep-wake cycle will thank you for the consistency. You'll be more alert and ready to tackle the day ahead.
Exercise
Next, take a few minutes to stretch and do some light exercises. Yes, we know it's tempting to crawl under the covers, but trust us, your body will appreciate the chance to move around. Go for a quick walk, do some stretches, or even do a few jumping jacks – whatever gets your blood pumping and your energy levels up.
Plan out the day!
Once you're feeling energized, it's time to plan out your day. Make a to-do list of all the tasks you need to complete, and prioritize them by importance. This will help you stay focused and organized throughout the day and ensure that you tackle the most critical tasks first.
Eat a GOOD breakfast.
After your game plan, fuel up with a nutritious breakfast. No skipping meals allowed! Eating a healthy breakfast can do wonders for your energy levels and cognitive function, so make sure to include a combination of protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats.
Now it's time to relax and clear your mind.
Take a few minutes to meditate, do some deep breathing exercises, or sit quietly and focus on the present. Trust us; starting your day with a clear and focused mind will make a difference.
Go over goals and affirmations.
Next up: go over your goals and recite daily affirmations. This will help you stay focused on what you want to achieve and boost confidence and motivation.
Review your materials!
Before diving into work, review any materials or information you'll need for the day. This could include reports, memos, emails, or anything else essential to your healthcare administrator job.
Remember to set aside some time for personal development!
Whether reading a book, learning a new skill, or working on a side project, making time for personal growth is essential to staying motivated and engaged in your career.
Do NOT check your email until 11 am.
When it's time to start tackling those emails, hold off until after 11 am and only check a few times per day; trust us, constantly checking your inbox can be a considerable distraction and hinder your productivity.
Finally, remember to dress in comfortable, professional attire. You'll feel more confident and ready to tackle the day when you look and feel your best.
By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to a successful and productive day as a healthcare administrator. So go ahead, wake up and smell the success!
