Learning to Learn: Leveraging your Circadian Rhythm

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

There are a few distinct, precious moments of heightened sensory elation that we can achieve through unique actions; whether that be hitting the sweet spot on your driver from the tee box, tossing that crumpled up piece of paper that started out as a great idea and delivering it perfectly into the waste basket 10 feet away, or something as simple as arriving at the perfect adjective when telling a story to a friend. Achieving a greater sense of cognitive ability when interacting with either the external environment around you or the internal synapses of your own brain is an equally satisfying accomplishment that many believe would lead to immediate success. There is no special formula for arriving at a heightened rate of learning, enhanced memory, or sudden talent for verbiage; however there is a proven internal process that you can utilize in order to maximize your work output, in channeling your Circadian Rhythm.

Learning to Learn: Leveraging your

Circadian Rhythm

@allygreer

Know those feelings when you...

@allygreer

Hit the sweet spot on your driver?

@allygreer

Toss that crumpled paper straight into the waste

basket?

@allygreer

Or come up with the perfect punchline?

@allygreer

Ahhh...the joy that isheightened

cognitive ability.

@allygreer

This is no coincidence, though...

...ever hear of a circadian rhythm?

@allygreer

It’s a biological clock in our bodies.

@allygreer

And it keeps us alert during the ‘right’ times

of the day.

@allygreer

Because of this, it’s not unusual

to experience moments with peaks

in focus and creativity.

@allygreer

But, there’s a catch.

@allygreer

Every body responds uniquelyto its circadian rhythm.

@allygreer

Figuring out your own takesa little bit of effort.

@allygreer

But once you do...

Your productivity will soar.

@allygreer

Here’s the secret:

It’s one part self-awareness,

one part recording,

and two parts willingness to make a change.

@allygreer

@allygreer

Spend a few days tracking your levels of

focus, energy, and hunger.

Identify the patterns...

@allygreer

@allygreer

...and begin scheduling your work days accordingly.

Now, you’ve unlocked the efficiency of your own biological processes,

@allygreer

@allygreer

and can dance to your own circadian rhythm.
