This course is for anyone whose working day deserves a better beginning and a calmer close: early risers and night owls, people who work long days or shifts, and parents whose mornings start with a child. Work here means any role that asks effort of you, paid or not.
It helps you build a morning routine and an evening routine that fit your own body clock and your own week, and then test them on yourself. Regular times matter more than early ones, and owls build routines as good as larks. Practices in the new tools carry an evidence grade, and you keep only what works for you.
You begin with Where I Start: a week of watching your days with My Days As They Are, then My Body Clock Planner, which works out your body clock and your social jetlag. Tomorrow Begins Tonight gives you My Evening Shutdown and Wind-Down. In My Routine Designer you build each routine in a short version for hard days and a full one for ordinary days. The First Work Block protects time for your most important work before email, and Your Routine as an Experiment closes with My Routine Experiment Log and Is This Claim True?, a five-question check for any wellness claim you hear.
On WorkSmart4Life this course sits under Sustain, the move about energy and recovery. If your team chose Physical Health and Vitality in Work Well Together, Movement Snacking will already be familiar. I suggest you begin with My Days As They Are, before you change anything; a free 24-hour trial of the whole course is also available.
