Salam wbt.
Now that you have listed all your MITs, it's time to decide WHEN to execute them.
When we have so many things to do, 24 hours seems to be not enough. And we often say how we wish there's more than 24 hours in a day.
Ironically even if we were given a thousand hours in a day, we find ourselves not doing things that we were suppose to do.
Some tried to write down a daily schedule, fitting everything into every hours of the day. what to do at 8 am, what to do at 9.30 am, etc. and by doing that we tend to feel suffocated by just trying to follow those schedule.
A simple thing to do is actually by understanding your daily cycle, and choosing the best time for your FOCUS SESSION.
What is focus session?
It is the time where you can complete your MITs.
Ideally, focus session should be early in the morning or late in the evening.
According to a hadith by the Prophet SAW, which i cannot remember the exact wording of it right now. Anyways, it's telling us that the work we do early in the morning is accompanied by abundance of blessings, in comparing to those we do in the evening.
You'll actually surprise yourself at how many things you can achieve in just few hours..
Your focus session doesn't have to be long.. a mere 2-3 hours is sufficient to get all your MITs done for the day.
so how do we know what is the best time for our focus session?
it's that time of the day where you are most energetic and less distracted.
for me, it's usually in the morning where everyone is busy doing their own routine. so everyone is still in their own little space. and thus less distraction. and also around 5-6pm ish. where everyone is too tired to be talking or just tired to do anything per se. so that's the time where i can get most of my MITs done.
so when your focus hour comes along, take out your MITs that you have listed down, choose one for a start and begin doing it. now, make sure you take a break after 25-30 minutes. because as time goes along, you'll get tired and thus focus less. take a 5 minute break. make a cup of hot drink, open the window and take a fresh breathe of air, bring a cup of drink to your friend, pray 2 rakaats. whatever it is you can do in 5 minutes. but make sure not to open your gadgets, or facebook or twitter. or else, you'll get stuck at it for more than 5 minutes. after that 5 minutes, get back into your focus zone and complete your task.
