Many experts talk about what should be done daily apart from your regular office work and how you should manage your day. Some people from their experience shares their view on work-life balance, achieving what you decide on regular basis. If we put many of those points together, a very nice to-do list comes up. Comment on what do you think about this.

1. Start your day early.

• Its not easy for everyone to do this. For example if your work involves working late nights with people in different time-zones than yours, than you don’t have a choice.
• Many times we see that some people are more productive at night time than in the afternoon or morning. But in general its said that, if you start your day early, you can get more work done. You are more fresh. You get more confidence. 

2. Sleep on time.

• Decide a deadline for that. Make it a habit.
• On an average you need at least 6-7 hours of sleep. So make sure you get that.

3. Physical exercise in the morning.

• It is good idea to find some time to do physical exercise.
• You can do running, stretching or yoga. Include some breathing exerices if you have some more time. 

4. Meditation or Pranayam.

• Do this 10 mins in the morning. 10 mins in the evening.
• To increate concentration, its necessary to understand that why our mind gets distracted? Because of thoughts. 
• Meditation is one way by which you can increase your concentration and lessen your thoughts. You can’t avoid thoughts completely. Not possible. :)

5. Power nap of 15 mins in the afternoon.

• 15-20 min of sleep in the afternoon feels like 4-5 hours of sleep at night.
• You become more fresh if you get some time to take rest in the afternoon. The second half of your day can be as much productive as first half of your day.

6. Reading a book regularly.

• Why? For Consistency. Regularity. 
• This is for consistency. You do one thing FOR SURE everyday. What is it? You read a book. That shows one task if given to you, you do it regularly. 
• Take any good book you like and make sure you read it. Some poeple do this at night before going to bed or some people do this in the middle of the day.

7. Task list in the morning

• Write it on your notepad that I shall complete these 4-5 items from my office work and these 2-3 items from my personal to-do list EVERY MORNING. 
• Keep track of your time and see it if you can do everything you have decided in the morning. Later at night, you can retrospect, on what all you did, you did not and WHY.

8. Your calendar for 2-3 months

• Have a google calendar view or other service, where you can check your next 2 months schedule and activities.
• Like do I have any holiday trip coming up, marriage to attend or office visit or game tournament or event coming up etc.
• This will give you general idea about your schedule. So that you don’t overbook yourself for multiple things. 

9. Walk at night

• We talked about doing retrospection at night before you go to bed, but you can do this while you walk at night.
• Otherwise also its a good idea to just relax and walk at night with your friends/family members.

10. One new face everyday.

• Write about this somewhere. I knew Mr./Mrs so and so today.
• This can be someone you met in person or read about him on internet for the first time TODAY. 
• But make sure you know one new person everyday. More about this later. 

11. Talk to at least one person from your existing contact.

• This can be your friend, distant relative, teacher, professor etc. Just talk to him/her. Just like that. 

12. Blessing

• Pray to god, chant any shlokas, mantra according to your religion. 
• Remember your god, parents, take their blessings. 

13. Good breakfast is compulsory.

• After 6-7 hours of FAST at night, when you BREAK it in the morning, have good food so that your body gets energy back after whatever it has burnt overnight. 
• After all, know this fact that you are always LIGHTER in the morning when you wake up (even before using restroom) and HEAVIER at night. This is proven scientifically.

Special category for people working in front of computer 8 hours a day.

1. Install “say the time” in your computer.

• Such plugins makes you aware of time. Set it to every 30 mins/1 hour. You also can have better idea on how is your productivity. 

2. After every 10-15 mins, try to do some light exercises.

• This will be very simple like rotating your eyes, head movement left-right, arms, hands. Find out more online.

3. After every 30-1 hour, stand up and do some physical movement for 10-15 secs.

4. Get less distracted.

• Close down your gmail/facebook/whatsapp/skype messengers. 
• Don’t read news in between your work. It breaks concentration. 
• Decide 2-3 hours fully that you dedicate fully on work and not getting distracted.

Hope this helps...

Cheers!
