Monday Reset Call Jan 6 2025

Hello.

This meeting is being recorded.

I am good.

This is like.

I haven't read or. I try to watch the coaching session and I for some reason can't get the. It didn't work for me to see the last coaching, so I have to relook at that.

Yeah. Did you watch the one that I sent via email?

I didn't get through it. It just. It went around and around and around and it was under. It was like phantom videos.

Is that correct?

Yeah.

Yep.

But I couldn't connect, so I just, I need to play with it. I'm kind of like trying to squeeze everything in and trying to catch up and keep up with what? The craziness right now of what's going on in my household.

Yeah. How is your husband? He.

He's good. He's good. He. So he now is known to have seizures. He can't be left alone right now. And I think I mentioned to you what happened to him. He dislocated his shoulder and he had to have a whole shoulder replaced and the right side, the right hand, which is. He's right handed and it happened in his sleep. It's just crazy. So anyway, so today he's going back. So it's been, it's only been two weeks. They did emergency surgery on him and now today we're going to go back to the orthopedic.

But he's.

He's a pain in the ass. Oops. You're taping this. He doesn't follow, you know, doctor's orders.

Yeah. So.

Oh.

So the first seizure happened while he was sleeping.

Right. So the first happened and then the second one, I thought he was having a stroke because a lot of our friends seem to have a family member or somebody's having strokes. Um, He's. He is 72. Um, so. But it really has nothing to do with his age. So I thought it was a stroke when it was happening, but it turned out it was a seizure, which actually better. That's, you know, whatever, but it's still, still not good because they don't know why it happened. So he had a second seizure at the hospital while he was there. So within like four hours he had two. Yeah, but he's good. Like he's running his businesses. He's just, he's like a go getter. He's like, you know, his push, push, push. But at the same time, I think that might be why that happened because he was just doing so much.

Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Oh, my God. Yeah.

You never know. I'm telling you, it's crazy. Well, you know, it's just life.

Yeah.

You just never know what's going to happen next. Now he's a big golfer, so he won't be able to move that arm for about six months. And then, then after this rehab thing, then he can start, you know, addressing, you know, how, you know, what can he do with that shoulder. Yeah.

Whoa.

Oh, that's gotta be such a blow to him mentally.

Yeah. Yeah, it is a big blow. It is. And it's, you know, it's. Again, as these things happen and I keep telling him to be thankful, you know, could be worse.

Yeah.

You know, so. Yeah, so. So I'm really thankful that.

Yeah. I mean, if he's, if he seems like he's open to it, really helping him think differently. If you start to see, you know, kind of those sabotaging emotions prompting him with, you know, maybe not what's perfect about this, but how can, how can you leverage this? What really getting him to see, like you said, the seizure is far better than the stroke. Right. And like. Right. You know, trying to get him into that place where he finds a little bit of gratitude, which is.

Yeah.

Can be really hard.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He's kind of. Guess he. Once in a while he gets into the. Why does this have to happen to me now? Because he was. We were doing. We're gonna fly back to Florida January 3rd. You know, we have to cancel everything and you know, we schedule everything. It was doing really well, you know, doing the attending, my coaching.

Yeah.

Going to the gym, eating really healthy and.

Yeah. Boom. You know. Yeah. Yeah. But, but like the fact that you do know how to manage your mind, it doesn't mean you're going to do it perfectly, but you do have that resource that.

So thanks.

Yeah.

So I, I. Let me share something with you that I. This, this, this happened because of you. That day that I was driving to the emergency room, I was self coaching in the car of how. Good thing it happened in Rhode island where the family is. Good thing that he's at the hospital. He's supposed to be where he's at. It was so helpful to run instead of going into tears and, you know, spinning and all that. And I'm like, thank God for Trace.

That was my thought. So this is like a good, you know, this is so good. It really is. Yeah. And these are the types of circumstances that are thrown at us. We. We'd rather not have them, but they're thrown at us to remind us how resilient we are and how we can Keep, you know, compounding this skill set, because who knows what's around the corner? You know, this is the opportunity to practice and to strengthen that resiliency. So Jen from is also on the call, her camera off. But I know she's probably sitting there shaking her head.

Yeah, yeah, I. I've been listening. I'm like, oh, okay.

Yeah, yeah. I have gotten no less than eight texts. I'm not gonna be able to be on. I'm not gonna be able to be on. So it's us today.

Okay.

And so this is the reset call. Prior to this call, I'm doing a goals call on Monday morning. So as we. I haven't marketed this program yet. This week I start marketing it. So we'll be getting new people in who will need to set their goals. So I'll be doing goals call, a goals workshop at 8am on Mondays, and I'll also be doing them on Fridays just to try to get people up to speed so that when we get to this call, the reset call, they're ready to go, they know what their goals are, and then they're ready to plan out their week. So this is the reset call. This is your chance to literally reset. If last week was fantastic and you want to duplicate that, perfect. If last week wasn't so good and you're ready to kind of relaunch, reset, perfect. That's what this call is for. So we start off by reflecting on the past week. And if you didn't do a weekly intention last week, in Ana's case, she was probably running a million miles an hour, and this was probably the furthest thing from her mind. You can still do the reflection worksheet that's in your book. Like, it's still very valuable because we tend our primitive brain is very focused on all the things that could have went better or the things that went wrong or what it is that we didn't get done and we still have to do. And although we do need to be reminded of those things, that's not the only thing we should be focusing on. So this reflection page is very helpful to remind us of what actually has. Has worked. Like Anna said when she was in the car, she was like, thank God we're still in Rhode Island. Thank God we're still. We're by our family. That's very similar to what this exercise does for us. So you always start with what worked well so that emotions can remain low and intellect is high. So I typically, if I've done this book the way it's Intended. I can look back at the previous pages and. And I can just see kind of where the check marks are. What are the things that I actually got done. Sometimes it's not necessarily actions that were checked off. Sometimes it was the way I felt. Sometimes it was. It was the way I was thinking. So be open to all of the kinds of things that went well. Maybe it was, you know, the sun was shining three of the seven days, and you noticed it and you appreciated it, like. Or you noticed that you were a lot calmer when you were having a conversation with your son. You know, it can be the little things, but what worked well in this last week? So just make a couple notes about that. If you can connect any sort of thoughts or feelings to the result of the things that worked well, do that. What were you thinking or what were you feeling? Because that is directly related to the result you got. The things that worked well is only because of what you were thinking and feeling. And then you can go to what didn't go so well. Just jot down a couple notes. And those results only happened because of what it was that you were thinking and feeling. So if you can pinpoint what it was that you were thinking and feeling that actually created those results, that's huge. So you want to capture that. And it's kind of interesting because I'm just looking at my. I just finished this page, and I have a coach that I work with who is helping me with the. With the planner. And right now I'm in the shooting phase of the planner, and the coach had got put in the hospital, and she's having a scheduled surgery, I think, next week. So she is completely off the grid, and I cannot contact her. And so my. My boxes are just in a. In a warehouse in China, and they didn't get shipped. They completely missed the date because my consultant is in the hospital and can't be contacted, and everything has to go through her. And that. So that didn't go so well for me. That was like, I missed my shipping date. And I'm, like, sitting here going, okay, now what? And the thoughts that I can, like, contribute to the feeling of, like, defeat or the feeling of being out of control is like, this isn't fair. This shouldn't be happening. Those are the kinds of thoughts. So once I'm aware of that, that I'm thinking, this isn't fair or this shouldn't be happening, and I realize that that's what's actually contributing to this feeling of defeat, not the fact that she's in the hospital or wasn't available to help me. It's the fact that I'm thinking that that's making me feel this defeat. You guys see that? Like, it's so easy to just contribute what didn't go well to a circumstance. And it's really the way you're thinking about it that's making you feel the sabotaged, the self sabotaging way. So this exercise again, the self reflection, I know Kara just joined us, but this exercise, we're doing a weekly reflection and those just if you don't have the book, those can be printed out. Trying to think, Kara, if you're in here, I don't think you are in here. The weekly reflection pages can be printed out in school and I'll make sure you're in there today. So what we're doing is what worked well this week to just a few notes. Contributing your thoughts and feelings to what worked well, what didn't work, and contributing your thoughts and feelings to what didn't work. What worked and what didn't work are just results. And it's always a thought that generates a feeling that drives a result. Okay, so we want to pinpoint that. And then at the bottom it's rating your week. So on a scale of one to five, one. Not at all. I am highly aware. How aware of the sabotaging feelings were you throughout the week? Can you recall moments where you were aware that you were having a sabotaging feeling and you were able to connect it back to the thought that you were having? Most of us think this is just life. This is the way that the hand was dealt. You don't realize that you have control over these feelings. So another great example is when I was in the car. She could have went down that spiral of poor me, why is this happening? Felt panicked. And instead she may have become aware of that panic and self coached herself to remind herself, oh, wait, I don't have to be feeling this way.

I can shift my thoughts.

That's why rating your week, like really recognizing how often throughout the week was I aware of my thoughts and feelings? And then on a scale of 1 to 5, how much control do you feel over the progress of your goals? So I had a 3 in regards to how aware I was of my sabotaging feelings and the thoughts that were creating them. And a four over the progress. Jen, what do you have as far as your score? Your.

That's what I have. Two. I had three for awareness and four for control.

Yeah. And then did you throughout the week were you marking at the bottom of the sheet. Okay, that was.

What did. I didn't really do the day I. I started out the week strong. Like, I'm really good at getting my initial plan, doing the daily cadence. I'm still working on that. But just being aware of that is a. It's a win.

So 100%. 100%. Okay, so now you turn the page. And now we've got the weekly intentions for this upcoming week. And so at the very top, what we want to do is remind oursel what are the. What are the goals that we're working towards? And if you've stepped away from this for a while, you might have to turn Back to page 18 if you're in the book and remind yourself, what are the goals? What are my goals for the year or for the next three months? So my focus areas. My area focus were health and wellness, family and finances for my three. And then I have very specific goals under those three categories. And under those very specific goals, there's priorities for the week. And so that's what we're looking at right now. That's what this page is. So that first part, review your goals. It's simply a place to remind yourself. If we don't remind ourselves, at least on a weekly basis, we will lose touch with what it is that we want. Hugely important that you rewrite this every single week.

I feel like I need to reset my goals because now I got to add this new.

Taking care of your husband.

Yeah, because it's. It's like I'm gonna say 50 of my day, which before I had a 100 freedom.

Yeah. And I think this is such a good example, Anna. Like, nothing has gone wrong because at any moment, on any day, you have free will to change your goals. So things change by the minute. And so now you have a new area of focus. All the husband. And so. Yeah. And so I think that it's really important that you give yourself the grace and the, like, space to re. Like, visit. Okay, well, this goal might not be as important over the course of the next three months while he's in his, like, healing phase, his recovery phase. And so I would just look at. Revisit those goals. I can't remember, did you have three or four or two?

I had to go back. I have two. I know I had two. One was just organize my environment and recreational was the two that I chose.

Okay, so maybe you want to still keep the organizing my environment, because it probably will support you being in the environment and assisting him, but maybe Fun and recreation needs to be put back room.

Yeah. My one thing though, that I need to, that I want to is I, like, I haven't gone to the gym in two weeks and you know, I, I have to do that because if I don't do it mentally.

Yeah.

You know, I'll become a total witch.

Yeah. Okay. So under priorities. So we've got. I would put under the review your goals. It's going to be like, you know, or at home. Take care of my husband.

Yeah.

And take care of myself.

I like that. Okay.

Those are the three goals. Now the priorities are maybe there's one particular room or one particular cupboard that you want to organize. Maybe there is for. That's priority one. Then priority two is maybe get all the doctor's appointments scheduled or get all of the, or the prescriptions detailed.

Yes. Okay.

Like maybe having an accounting of all that kind of stuff. I'm trying to think of, like when I'm taking care of my mom. These are all the things.

Yeah, you're right. I, because luckily some of the medication is disappearing that he was on, but he's got to take like this seizure medicine and this other medicine, like a certain time every day, like 8 o' clock in the morning and 8 o' clock at night. And I, because there was so much medication, I created a chart and timed everything.

Yeah. So that's a priority is, you know, under taking care of, undertaking care of him. And so updating the chart is one of the actions. Another action might be scheduling the doctor's appointments or getting him up for a walk or making sure he's, you know, staying hydrated or like we talked earlier, prompting him to think and feel differently. Like maybe that's, that's an action. You've got a lot of space there under actions to take. But so we know that organizing maybe a cupboard or a closet.

Yeah.

One priority. Taking care of him as a second priority. The third priority might be taking care of yourself.

Okay.

And now what does that look like? Sitting down every morning to this book. Getting to the gym. At least be very specific now on these actions. Getting to the gym two times.

Yeah.

I mean, for some people in, when you're in a caregiver role, sometimes it's like getting seven hours of sleep or washing my face. Like these don't.

Yeah.

Be monumental things. But if you don't write it down with the intention to commit to it, it probably won't happen. Yeah. Okay.

I like it. Thank you.

Yeah, you're welcome. Jen, any, any questions on that? Were you Able to.

No, I kind of pre. I pre. Did it yesterday.

Okay. Okay.

It helps me. And, and I carried over a bunch of stuff, but I did get some, I did get some things done. So now it's kind of like refocusing after the holidays and.

Yeah. Okay.

And then putting them on my calendar. Like I'm actually putting my workout days on my calendar.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Kara, any questions on any of this? I'm still trying to figure it all out, so I'm kind of listening right now. Okay. But maybe this week? Yeah, yeah. And I can, I can send you the PDFs too. That will help tremendously on this. Oh, that would be great.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, so then, then you turn the page and we've got the weekly to dos. So we just created the. We reminded ourselves of the goal. We created what our priorities are for each goal. We went even, we dug a little bit deeper and created a list of the actions. But all of that is connected to our goals. There's a whole world of to do's outside of our goals. So this next sheet is a place that you can list all of the other to do's that are maybe weighing on you or maybe there's a list out in the kitchen and then there's a list on your text thread and then there's a list in your emails. Right. This is a place for you.

How do you know that? I know.

I'm just going off of my own personal. So this is a place where you can grab it all. Because I want you guys committing to this as your tool. And if you keep things in all these different places, you're committing to all of those different places. And that makes you feel spread really thin. And so do yourself a favor and put all of the to dos. You've already captured the ones related to your goals. Now put all of the other to do's on this list. Because next week, like Jen was just saying, it's so easy to carry it over. The things that didn't get done, they're right there, they're easy to capture. So commit to using this space as your way of capturing everything. Mine are so vast. It's like it goes from professional things to personal things back to professional things. I mean, it's, it's across the board. But none of them are repeating my actions for my goals. These are all in addition to. And it's interesting because as I'm writing them on this list in my mind, I'm thinking, okay, this would take me five minutes to take Care of. Like I, I had Schedule 2 group fitness classes. I wanted to do one at the Rosemont lifetime, and I wanted to do one in Lakeville Lifetime. I knew that that was going to take me five minutes to schedule. So the second I got done doing this list, I did it and I checked that off. But if I didn't put it on the list, it would have just sat in my head and I wouldn't have gotten it done. So get it on the list. Some of these things will not take very much time. You don't even have to schedule it on which day you're going to do it. Just get it done. And then the next sheet is the brain dump, otherwise known as a thought download. And what I like to do is I like to just put today's date and I like to just capture a couple thoughts and feelings around the work that I just finished. So I just finished reminding myself of my goals, creating the priorities, the actions that need to take place in order for those priorities to be executed. I've also created a very long weekly to do list, so it's likely that I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. Why am I feeling that way? Capture that thought. Okay, that's. This is the place. And I come back to this sheet almost every single day. I write the date, I just capture a couple more thoughts and feelings. All right, now the next seven pages are this week. So Monday 1 6, Tuesday 1 7, Wednesday 1 8, Thursday 1 9, Friday 1 10, Saturday 1 11, Sunday 1 12. That's the very first thing I do. I just flip through all seven pages and I date them in the top right hand Corner. Now today, 9:00am Central Standard Time, 10 Eastern. I'm on the reset call. That's. That was. I actually had an 8:00am goals call, so I had 8:00am goals call, 9:00am reset call. I typically I record the podcast on Mondays so that usually and I usually have that scheduled, but Gracie's not feeling good so that just got put on my to do list. So right below the schedule is the daily to dos. What I capture there are the things that need to get done today that I don't know how I'm going to fit them into the schedule. I don't know where exactly it's going to fit. I know I'm going to get it done, but I don't have a time slotted for it. So that's what I put there. So podcast record. Podcast is under the daily to do's Monday hour one or the reset call. I, I always like pre do A lot of this. So I that's hit the daily to do. I'm working at lifetime from 4 to 8 that is scheduled. If there's anything else that's just kind of standing. I've already committed to it on the Tuesday through Sunday. Right now is a great time to just jot those in. I'll give you a quick minute to do that and I'll be right back. It okay, so now what you want to do is you want to pick. You go back to Monday, go back to today, and you want to pick three events. So if you only have one event scheduled on your calendar, on your schedule, that's okay. Also look down at the Daily to DOS and Grab 2 from there. Doesn't matter if it's a meeting with a person or it's a run to the grocery store or it's a make dinner, organize my husband's pills. It doesn't have to be anything super significant. Monumental. This exercise, the thoughts and feelings exercise that's on the right hand side of today's daily planner, is so powerful, even if it isn't serving the purpose of making you feel great for your event, it's serving the purpose of heightening your awareness around what intention does. So you're choosing three different events and deciding how it is that you want to feel while in that event. So maybe the this call, the reset call. We know we all had that on our calendar. You are. That's event one. How do you want to feel? Maybe you. And if you're at a loss for emotions, grab your bookmark, peruse these emotions. Maybe you want to feel creative. Maybe you want to feel clarity. Maybe you want to feel peace. And then you just ask yourself, what believable thought creates that feeling for me? And so you can turn over the bookmark, follow the kind of the color coding of it. If it's peace, I'm exactly where I need to be. And all as well. It's interesting because all week last week, I kept noticing how my permanent brain was like, you haven't done enough.

You haven't done enough.

You haven't done enough.

You got to do this, you got to do that.

And I'm like, no, no, everything is fine. Everything is unfolding exactly the way it's supposed to. I'm safe. All is well. I kept reminding myself of that. And it was amazing how I would have these like, waves of panic because my primitive brain was scanning for all the danger. There was no danger. But if I didn't remind myself of a better way of thinking I would just go down the panic spiral and it would ruin my whole day. I would capture it. And so this exercise is a great way to kind of head off.

Any.

Of those kinds of thoughts and feelings at a time. It's like you can preempt them. Anybody want to share an event that they chose and I can help you with a thought or feeling. It doesn't have to be anything super significant.

I have the doctor's appointment today at 1 o', clock, the orthopedic and I put down that I just, I want to be positive and hopeful that, you know, he's going to be giving us encouraging, you know, news.

Okay, and so you want to stay. You said I want to feel optimistic and hopeful. Okay. What is a thought or belief that would create hopefulness? Optimism. Why are you choosing to see this person over your next door neighbor?

Well, this guy's one of the best.

There we go here. So. Okay, I like that.

So this is the, the best doctor. You know what information he's going to give us is going to be true.

There you go. See Anna, See how when you just prompt yourself a little bit, you can like sift through all of the fear based thoughts. Like what if he doesn't? What if he gives us bad news? That's a fear based thought. Because it does. You'll be able to handle that. But why worry about it right now? Why not stay focused on the belief that we have found the best doctor we could find and he's an expert in this category. We've done everything we can do. Like that's a much better thought. That's going to create hopefulness. But if you don't capture that your primitive brain is so strong, it's going to take over and it's going to have you fearing the what ifs. So you got to be intentional about this kind of stuff. That's like a great example. Anybody else?

I can. One of mine is. So I bought a walking pad. I've got to get some drapes in my office. I'm like scooching over. I did buy some, I just gotta hang them up. So I bought a walking pad because my, one of my, one of my goals is around fitness and I'm like, I don't get a lot of steps because I don't want to walk outside in the cold. Blah, blah, blah. Anyway, so I got a walking pad. It's like less than $200. Yep. So I put that on there at 5 o'.

Clock.

I'm gonna try to go during the day. You know, do like 10 minute blurbs, but for sure I'm doing it at 5 o' clock and so I want to feel motivated to do it.

Okay.

So my initial thought is this is me taking care of myself.

Okay.

So it's like, it's self care versus it's like a, you know, I have to.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you want to feel motivated. Does this is me taking care of myself? Does that? You just want to, you always want to check your work.

I know.

Yeah.

I don't know if it's the. I mean, yes and Right.

Motivated to me is a little different.

Than like self care. Right. That'd be more loving and.

Yes. Yes.

So maybe I. Maybe motivated isn't the way I need to be feeling.

Yeah, I mean sometimes you, well, you get to decide. You get to decide you want to feel motivated. Do you want to feel like you love yourself? Like they're both great. Motivated to me is a feeling that drives me to execute where when we're doing an exercise like this, it's actually in the moment. So the event of like preparing to get on the treadmill or the walking pad, that would be its own event. It'd be like preparing to do this. Okay. That's an event being on.

As long as I'm on there, I'm fine. I just got to get on it.

Yeah. So then it's, it's the prep, it's the pre work. And that I think would probably, you would probably want motivation. And for me, my primitive brain is always telling me how hard that is. When in reality, stepping on and stepping onto a walking pad and hitting go is so easy. But my brain wants to argue otherwise. So I have to remind myself the thought that the motivation is a great feeling. And my thought is this is way easier than, you know, I want to believe and this is my opportunity to prove it to myself. Like that's the thought that I would go after. And so after you capture these, like these, this exercise feels really good in the moment because you come to this realization that, that, holy cow, my permanent brain is really strong and it always is going to skew negative and dramatic. So that's a great realization. And that feels really good when you have that sort of clarity right now in this moment. But you want to like bottle this up, you want to leverage this. And the way you're going to leverage this is by revisiting these thoughts and feelings. Okay. So as this day is unfolding, that's the whole point of this daily planner is it's meant to be Revisited. So at whatever time Anna is going to the doctor, it's super important that she does what she needs to do to be reminded that thought that's going to create optimism. So personally, if I know I'm going to be away from this book, like for me this book is sitting right here and I'm usually sitting in this chair, so it's really easy for me to reference. But if I was getting up and going to a doctor, I would put it in my phone, I would literally attach that thought that creates optimism. I would put it on my calendar or I would set an alarm and attach it to the alarm. Like that's how seriously I take this. That's how much I believe in the effectiveness of this exercise. And I don't, I don't have to do that for very long. Like eventually you get into this pattern of reminding yourself, God, this morning I did all the work for every one of the events that I'm heading into. I already did the work to decide how it is that I want to think and feel. So I don't have to be reminded. It's just this peace that kind of comes over me that like, oh yeah, from four to eight today I'm going to be at Lifetime. I made the decision ahead of time that I wanted to feel excited. And my thought is I get to meet all these new people, which makes me feel excited. If I don't remind myself of that, my fear based brain starts like going down this path of what if? I forget what to do. What if, what if, what if, what if? And then that's the life I live between 4 and 8 and it's like, no, no, that's not going to happen anymore. I remind myself that I did the work this morning to decide ahead of time how it is that I want to feel. This is what creates an optimized life. This, this creates the life that you are literally curating event by event by event. And they don't have to be significant events.

Tracy, remember that I used it for a little while. There was something that you used was different than your calendar where you could set these little alarms and they pop up. What's that app called again? I know I have it. Do you remember it just pop up at like at whatever 4:45 and say, you know, this is so easy for my hopping on my treadmill thing? Yeah, yeah.

Are you talking like the reminders app on. Yeah, it's like a. I think it is. Well, are. Do you use a Google Calendar on your phone?

Not really, no.

Oh, okay.

I have my Gmail, but I don't really.

I'm.

I'm an outlet. I. Yeah, so. But there was some other little app. I'll try to find it. I use the word background. You can do whatever you want. Remember that?

I use the reminders app. So I just tell Siri, like, hey, remind me at one o' clock to take my medicine or whatever, and it pops up with little alerts and notifications. Maybe that one could.

Because I have, like, I have. You wouldn't believe how many things I have on my Outlook calendar that pop up. So it's like kind of like white noise. They don't even work. So I need something different. But remember, I'll find it. It had like. Remember, you could put like a colorful background and, you know, like a thing. But I can't remember what it was called.

Yeah, I can't remember either, but it's probably something. Kara, is that a. The reminders app? Is it something that you go to the app Store and download? No, it's automatically on. If you have an iPhone, it's automatically on your iPhone.

Oh, yeah. I don't know what that is.

Yeah, Yeah.

I don't know if it's the same for Android.

I mean, I don't have to have it. I could just look at my book. But sometimes it's nice to have it pop up on your phone.

Yeah. Yeah. And I think that, like, I always write myself little notes about hacks that help with this planning exercise. And I think that that's a really good hack for people who are more on the go and don't necessarily have the book with them. Doing something like, during this one hour that really helps you, like, be effective throughout the day. And I would say taking five more minutes to schedule these three events, the thought and the feeling, into a reminders app that's gonna come up and notify you. It's gonna kind of override all of the other notifications, and I think that that can be really advantageous.

I'll let you know if I find it. Yeah, otherwise I could try this reminders 1. That's already on here.

Yeah. And so, just as a little side note, I do not do the thoughts and feelings for the other days. I leave that for the day of. So I only do the thoughts and the feelings, the three events. I do that every single day. So today I would only do Monday. Tomorrow morning I would do Tuesdays because this. My schedule changes so dramatically that I want to really have the full schedule in front of me before I decide what Three events I'm choosing. And then at the bottom of the page, this is where I typically. I'll be honest with you, I typically look at the day before. So at the bottom of this page I get through, say, tomorrow. I've gotten through all of my schedule, figured out what my daily to do's are. I've picked my three events, I've decided how it is that I want to feel and what God is going to create those feelings. And, and then I look back at yesterday and I asked myself, did I notice any of these feelings? And I checked the box on Monday. So that's how I do it. Because the likelihood of me going, oh, I'm feeling resentful and have the book right here to check the box on resentful is very low. The likelihood of that. So. But I will say, like when I'm at Lifetime, I notice how vulnerable I feel. It's like I have a hundred people coming up to me asking me a hundred different questions. I like, oh my God, oh my God. That's feeling vulnerable. Okay. And I notice it in the moment and I just kind of work my way through it. And the next day, as I'm reflecting on that past day, I mark it. I was feeling vulnerable. And I kind of give myself bonus points if I ask myself why. What was the thought? I'm not good enough. I'm not doing it right. I should know this by now. Okay. And then I can. I don't even have to combat those thoughts. It's again, it's. It's just the awareness that the vulnerability is coming from a thought that I actually have control over. I could choose to think otherwise. That's the value. And so it's called Google Keep.

I found it. Sorry.

Oh, it is a Google.

Yeah, it is, but it's just, it's just an. I just have the app on my phone, I guess.

I don't know. What was it called?

Yeah, Google Keeps.

Keep.

Okay, Google Keep.

I like it better than the. Better than the reminders thing. So anyway, try it out.

Yeah.

Sorry to interrupt. I just found it and I had to blur it out.

Yes, I do use Google Keep a lot. It's a. I use it more for like storing passwords or important things like that. Like, I just set up my Minnesota tax ID number. I always have my federal tax ID number, but I, I don't know how I overlooked getting the Minnesota one. And so I put that in Keep. It's like a place to store important information. So yes, these thoughts and you could use that same keep sheet day after day after day.

Right. Because you can have it repeat. Yeah, yeah. I'll have to see operationally, I was using a little different, but anyway.

Yeah. Yep. Okay. So that is the like, that is how you reset your week is by reviewing the prior week, using the data that you learned from reviewing that prior week to set this week's intentions, reminding yourself what the goals are, creating priorities, drilling it down to, okay, what are the actions that I'm going to take to execute on those priorities? Capturing all the other weekly to do's and then making sure that you're scheduling that. So you can't just note all of those actions that will help you execute those priorities. And you can't just make this weekly to do list and carry it over to the next week. You got to make sure that that you're transferring.
