There is lots of research out there that touts optimizing your environment as the golden ticket to forming new habits and achieving successful outcomes to your goals.⠀ ⠀ Exactly 98.2% of the time, if I can do something now, I will. But I haven’t always been this way. I think the unpredictability of motherhood did this to me 🤣 Years ago I realized that it really calmed me to live in a state of anticipation vs. reaction. ⠀ ⠀ My daily optimization list:⠀ ⠀ ✅I lay out my clothing, shoes, ear buds and any accessories needed for my workout before bed⠀ ✅Review my training the night before; watch demos, consider substitutions and have a plan for my equipment to get in and get out as quickly as possible⠀ ✅As soon as I get home from the gym, I refill a water bottle and put it in the fridge for the next day⠀ ✅Plan/log my meals the night before - sometimes I follow to the letter and sometimes I don’t, but having a framework helps me substitute and eliminate waste⠀ ✅Prepare my overnight oats and yogurt bowl bases - even if I don’t use them the next day, they’ll be good for several more. ⠀ ✅Prep the coffee pot the day before so in the morning I just hit a button and 💥 COFFEE 💥⠀ ✅Eat mostly the same foods for breakfast and lunch - because I LOVE them and it takes all the thinking out of it⠀ ⠀ My family optimization list:⠀ ⠀ ✅While kids are doing homework, I make the next day’s lunches⠀ ✅No laundry baskets! At the end of the day we put our dirty clothing in the washer and I wash it that night. Clothing is folded and kids put it away when they get home from school⠀ ✅ Rarely do I scroll through any social if I am not walking. We got a cheap treadmill off Craigslist and it gets so much use! I walk slow, and do things like shop amazon, target cartwheel or online grocery orders⠀ ✅If I can double or triple a recipe I always do. Our freezer is stacked with extra casseroles, frozen cookie dough and breakfast bars. I like to have things on hand to pull out in a pinch or give to families who could use them⠀ ⠀ Which are you? The procrastinator or the anticipator?⠀
