How To Plan Your Day Like Marcus Aurelius

So, this book(meditation) is a journal. If you have ever thought of starting a journal but never managed to do it consistently, and if you make excuses like "Not having enough time," you are missing out on life. Start a journal and just 3 minutes a day won't do any harm. Just jot down 3 things you are grateful for that happened to you. It will make you feel more special because you are.

Planning the dishes before cooking is a common thing, so why can't we just do that common thing in our life? Planning our day before bed is a beneficial habit. Some people are optimists and some are pessimists. No matter which category you fall into, it's important to visualize negative scenarios. However, this habit is not usually encouraged. Perception is all that matters in the end. Try looking at your life from both an optimistic and pessimistic perspective. Also, practice bringing calm during chaotic times.

This is more likely an "eat the frog" situation- a difficult task that must be completed first. I personally have tried it and it worked. You may ask why should we do this first?

If we can conquer the tough tasks first, the easy ones will always be easy.

Seek it, train yourself, and live with nature. We are social animals, so to keep you alive, do things like reading, writing, singing, and walking in nature. Study to be better, not just to score marks. Keep learning and updating yourself to make yourself proud, not for others.

This is a common technique of thinking that today is the last day of your life. By living it as if this day will never come, we define our purpose. By blocking time, we can complete our tasks and prioritize the most important habits. Every breath you take should be utilized for good. Think of yourself as a Roman emperor.

Philosophers have stated these habits for 2000 years. Until we follow them, they're of no use. These are great habits to follow, and if everyone follows them, everyone will succeed. Unfortunately, not many people do, and that's why 99% fail and only 1% succeed. It's all about putting in the effort in the end. who do you want to be 99% or 1%??
