“You don’t rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems”
– James Clear ‘Atomic Habits’
These are all areas that you can put systems in place. You can try this on your own or have an accountability buddy.
M for MANAGE
Are you managing life or is life managing you?
Who could help you out?
Are your desires nagging at you like a squeaky door?
O for Organisation
Good Organisation is your superpower!
Are you planning ahead? Spend 5 minutes planning out the next day, then grow it until it becomes a habit. You will find you have more time and more satisfaction!
N for Negotiation
Life is about negotiating your time and energy. Where are you sitting on this arrow?
I is for Innovation
Innovation is the key to ‘improvement’.
How can we do things differently?
C is for Communication
What are you saying and doing? Be aware of your words. Do they match what you say you do?
A is for Authorisation
Be your own author and write, write, write daily – it’s in our DNA.
Now for the Boost!!
B is for Building
Relationships that you have and those you’d like to have (including the one with yourself).
O is for Overview
Have an overview in place of how you want to feel and spend your time weekly.
O is for Observe
How your overview is connecting with what you want.
S is for Structure
Draw a ‘food pyramid’ triangle and write what you want to be doing the most, what you want to be doing the least, then be realistic and fill in the rest.
T is for Time
Time is finite but energy is not. Where are you going to place your energy? Tiredness is physical. Exhaustion is emotional.
Exhaustion = a lack of support – either self-support or external support eg. other people, or a discussion with a boss. The goal is to avoid both.
