After completing Dr. Jeff Spencer's 3 Lists, ask yourself how you adapted to the day. The speaker's family interrupted her schedule, forcing a pivot that led to writing two articles instead of one. Recognizing these real-time adjustments trains your brain to see obstacles as opportunities.
Here's a quick secret bonus exercise to supercharge your results with Dr. Jeff Spencer's 3 Lists. After drafting your 3 lists each evening, ask yourself this: How did I adapt to the day? Rather than just logging tasks, you're highlighting the creative pivots and mindset shifts you made in real time. For instance, last Tuesday morning, I got blindsided by a last-minute help request from a family member. Instead of panicking, I switched my morning writing block to the afternoon and ended up finishing 2 articles instead of 1. That choice reminded me that flexibility is its own productivity hack. Reflecting on adaption trains your brain to see obstacles as opportunities. Next time your plan derails, you'll automatically lean into a solution mode instead of stalling and getting stuck. Give How Did I Adapt to the Day of Try. Till next time, be well, do good, have fun.
