55 - Have a Great Day

Today, we're going to be talking about something that we all strive for - making the most out of our day. So, what can we do to ensure that we're having a productive and fulfilling day?

Well, first things first - let's talk about arriving early to appointments. It might seem like a small thing, but trust me, it can make a huge difference in how you approach your day. By getting to your appointments early, you're avoiding unnecessary stress and anxiety.

Setting small tasks for yourself throughout the day can be incredibly helpful. By doing so, you'll feel accomplished and productive throughout the day, even if you're not tackling big projects.

But it's not just about being productive - it's also about taking care of yourself. That means organizing your space, learning software shortcuts, and avoiding social media when you need to buckle down and focus. And of course, eating well and doing things you enjoy are also important for mental and physical well-being. In other words, focus on the present and don't dwell on the past. With a bit of planning and prioritizing self-care and enjoyment, you can have a great day every day.

Jill McKinley

I’m Jill from the Northwoods. Professionally, I work in Health IT, where I untangle complex systems and help people use technology more effectively. But at heart, I’m a curious lifelong learner—always exploring how things work, why people grow the way they do, and how even the smallest steps can spark real transformation. That curiosity fuels everything I do, from problem-solving at work to sharing insights through my creative projects.

My journey wasn’t always easy. Growing up, I faced a rough childhood, and books became my lifeline. They introduced me to voices of ancient wisdom, modern psychology, and the natural world around me. Those pages taught me resilience, gave me perspective, and helped me see that wisdom is everywhere—waiting to be noticed, gathered, and shared.
