Interesting that the article treats this as a ‘trend’—but doesn’t mention Waldorf schools, which have done this around the world for 100 years. When my daughter attended Waldorf preschool, she spent the majority of her day outdoors. All year round.
6am: brisk 30-minute walk
6:30: pushups
After breakfast for family and they’re out the door:
8am: journal and review goal systems and my ‘identity’ notes
8:30: set top 3 ‘must dos’ for day and prioritize other tasks
8:45am: work (I work at home)
10am: eat yogurt (I practice intermittent fasting and eat 10am-6pm)
I prioritize and do tasks using a mix of the Eisenhower matrix and GTD. All writing, tasks, etc. is done in Emacs, three columns full screen.
My ‘identity ‘ notes are a concise summary of the person I am trying to be to get the results I want, loosely based on an article I read by James Clear. Getting clear about values and how to live them plays a central role.
