Every Monday, I like to do a bit of a reset before digging into my week and ask myself 4 main questions.
First, I look at what I set out to accomplish last week, and ask myself 2 questions:
- What did I accomplish that I can celebrate?
- What didn't I accomplish and WHY NOT. (Side note: I try to make sure I come at this from a place of curiosity, not being hard on myself. There are a number of reasons why we don't accomplish our goals - they're no longer aligned, we prioritized something else, we were overly ambitious with our to-do list 😜... but we can learn a LOT about what we need to focus on when we get curious.)
And second, I look at the upcoming week:
- What are my non-negotiables (specific deadlines, appointments, etc.)
- What do I want to accomplish in addition to my non-negotiables?
From there, I can reverse engineer my goals to figure out the specific tasks and where each should live in my week.
Now, this may sound like a big process, but in reality, it takes just a few minutes, often while lying in bed before the kiddos get up. Just some gentle awareness and intentionality.
👉 Sooooo..... what does your Monday reset look like? What can we celebrate with you? And what are you focusing on this week? 🔥
