It is month three of the year 2020. For the most part, you’ve been diligent in your goals. You’ve been trying to focus on your career, socialize, network, workout, and work on your mental health.

If you are sick, ignore this article. However, if you are healthy, keep reading.
To keep your progress going you must design your day purposely. Below I’ve outlined tips, a template of your day, and resources. Example of a designed Workday: 7:00 am-9:00 am o Workout, Pray, Meditation, Rest, or Scroll mindlessly on your phone (warning, if you do not set an absolute stop time you can waste your day on social media) 9:00 am-10:00 am o Start work and focus diligently on your job. 10:00 am-12:00 pm o Take a 15-minute break to scroll mindlessly o Go back to finishing your projects or planning for the next quarter.
