Just In Time

Sometimes timing is everything. Here is a list that shows that when you do something can be as significant as what you do.

1. Study and do the bills from 10-11 AM or 8-9 PM. Studies show our maximum alertness and ability to focus is during those times.

2. Take a short nap sometime from 1-3 PM. The body naturally has an energy slump during this time, but with a 10 minute nap, we can be recharged.

3. Vacation in February, when winter blues and cloudy days might start to get us down.

4. Exercise early in the day. A morning workout will increase the chances of it being done that day, boosts energy for the rest of the day, and we have more energy for a better workout during that time.

5. Learn and practice a skill such as tennis, gymnastics, and piano between 4-6 PM. Studies show that we learn skills better during that time of day.

6. Schedule surgery (if possible) for winter or spring, when med students have had a few months to learn the ropes. Studies have shown that the mortality rate increases by 4% during July, August, and September, when med students start their training.

7. Get the flu shot between October and November to be immune before the flu season gets underway.

8. Sleep the same schedule each night, at least for 7 hours. Research has shown that people who sleep at least that amount are less likely to be obese.

9. Go to bed no sooner than 3 hours after dinner. Eating too close to sleeping can produce heartburn and hinder the body from a deeper sleep.

10. Take multivitamins with a meal. The body absorbs the vitamins better with food.
