I take advantage of this ‘assume week’ to go over intentions, objectives, methods and take into consideration what I might’ve achieved higher.
A PAGE OF GOALS
Yearly I seize a sheet of paper and write down the issues I wish to accomplish this 12 months. I fold it up, put it away in a drawer and the subsequent time I have a look at it – effectively, let’s simply hope most have been achieved.
SPACE IN MY CALENDAR
It’s essential for me to have area if I wish to run my enterprise like an athlete. And a key to that is having area in my calendar that I can fill in as I please. Ryan Vacation talks about this in his episode on The HIM & HER Present. Primarily it’s saying NO greater than saying YES, as many entrepreneurs need to do the alternative within the early days of their enterprise. There’s some extent the place it must be reversed: say not more than you say sure.
This offers me room to fill it with issues like writing, creating, meditating, train, strolling, studying. Fill it with issues that fill your cup and transfer your needle, whether or not that’s in enterprise, wellness, household or private development.
LET THEM, THEN LET ME
We just lately recorded with Mel Robbins and her guide The Let Them Principle is such a easy however unbelievable learn. It makes a lot sense and also you’ll know what I imply after you learn it.
Mainly, let individuals do no matter they need, however then you definitely do it too. Utilizing this concept is wonderful as a result of it frees up your vitality for your self, as a substitute of others. Nobody has the capability to cope with others’ bullshit. Learn this guide, as a result of it really will provide you with extra fuel in your tank and assist you to be simpler.
PHONE BOUNDARIES

My aim for the subsequent 12 months is to be much more intentional with my telephone. Once I’m house I simply need it out of my sight so I might be absolutely current with my husband and youngsters.
MINDFUL OF WHAT I’M READING
Studying is like understanding for me. It’s probably the most necessary issues in my life. Studying makes you smarter, higher, quicker, sharper. This 12 months I’m committing to studying Michael’s options. He’s been saying I ought to learn books which can be exterior of my usually genres.
MORE/LESS CHART

It may be something from much less alcohol, buddies, your calendar, work no matter.

2024 was about getting sleep and total well being dialed in. This 12 months my theme is being a beast in enterprise.
7 1 1

Then write down what you must do throughout the subsequent 12 months to get you to that 7 12 months aim. Lastly, write down the issues you must do every month inside that 12 months to get you to the 1 12 months aim.
AUDIT

The training curve of making an attempt one thing new is fascinating and it offers you a productive escape from work and life obligations. It helps you not take life too significantly and get again to hobbies and enjoyable like while you have been youthful.
Choose one thing you haven’t achieved shortly or one thing you’ve by no means achieved earlier than and all the time wished to strive.
RALLY THE TROOPS
Creating your objectives is half the battle, however the different half is following via. I feel sharing them with sure individuals can assist maintain you accountable. This could possibly be within the type of a gymnasium buddy or a guide membership. No matter it’s, I discover sharing objectives means they’re extra more likely to occur.
REPUTATION AT THE END OF THE YEAR
I’m an enormous fan of Charlie Munger who just lately handed away. He was so clever. One in all his suggestions that caught with me is to jot down your individual obituary. Consider what you’d need somebody to jot down about you after you cross then dwell your life in that means. My suggestion is to do one thing related however consider what you’d need somebody to say about you on the finish of the 12 months.
