2 Tips To Stay Stylish
How does one stay organized in this whirlwind of a society?
The difference between success and mediocrity is having disciplined systems.
This is especially true in the area of personal style.
Do you know someone who is consistently well-dressed?
Are they busy?
Most likely, yes.
Their life is probably more hectic than their attire would allow you to guess. And yet, they maintain high sartorial standards because they adhere to disciplined systems.
You can too.
You don’t have to learn the time management secrets of billionaires to have great style. All you need is to make some time to set up smart systems that save you time in the long run while elevating your style.If it’s important, you’ll make the time for it.
Where do you start?
Here are 2 simple steps to get you started on the road to your best style:
1. Have A Morning Ritual
This brings order to disorder. When you’re in a rush stress takes over because control is lost.
Rituals help bring control back into your life. They are constant.
Having a morning routine in place allows you to take a close look at how you start your day and figure out how to get the most from it.
Have a set system for getting out the door. Use a checklist initially, until the sequence of your morning ritual becomes a habit.
A morning ritual makes it exciting to wake up. Simple domestic tasks like making your bed as soon as you wake up give you a sense of achievement that motivates you to kickstart your day.
Rituals help you accomplish mundane tasks without having to consciously think about how to do them. This saves precious mental energy for more pressing matters later in the day.
Doing them in the same order every day helps calm the storm before the day starts.
Here are some examples of rituals that take 10 minutes or less:
• Shaving (10-minutes)
• Meditation (10-minutes)
• Walking the dog (10-minutes)
• Enjoying a hot cup of coffee (6-10minuts)
• Making the bed (4-minutes)
• Taking a shower before work (8-10 minutes)
2. Plan Outfits The Night Before
In the mornings, we run on cruise control.
When in a rush it’s automatic pilot. The fewer decisions to make the better.
Having your outfit for the day laid out and ready minimizes the time it takes to get dressed. When your mind is still foggy, taxing it with simple choices like your options of clothing for the day is going to take longer when your system is still in wake-up mode.
Plan before you hit the sack what you are going to wear the next day. Lay out your clothes, shoes, and accessories and ensure that they complement each other.
Investing in something like a valet makes this habit easy to own. When there is a mechanism of organization it’s easy for the excitement of using it to take over.
There are several advantages to making this simple act a daily habit:
• Time saved in the morning, so you don’t feel rushed.
• Enough time to fix any problems (broken zipper, iron a shirt or mend a broken button) the night before.
• Better choices (your mind is clearer for these decisions at night).
