Don't Sit Down!

“An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion…” ~Newton’s First Law of Motion

It might seem overly simplistic, but if you want to be more productive with your time…don’t sit down.

I don’t know about you, but I can be having a very productive day until I sit down for a rest, and then suddenly my motivation evaporates. Whether you’re working on house projects, spring cleaning or managing your home, I mean this quite literally: don’t sit down. Don’t stop for a break unless you truly need one (if you’re pregnant or dealing with medical issues, you have permission to sit whenever you want!); just keep moving forward.

If your work involves sitting at a desk or computer, sitting down might look differently for you, but this principle still applies. Instead of checking Facebook or your feed reader — and getting sucked into the black hole that is the internet — just don’t check them to start with.

Timers can be an extremely useful tool for limiting the time we spend “sitting down”, but if it’s motivation you struggle with — and not time management — then it may be more effective to simply avoid sitting in the first place!
