When you plan & visualize your week schedule you save up energy that might be wasted on solving redundant issues & jumping between different types of actions.

This energy wasting pattern, often leads to confusion, unclarity and focus disruptions.
The beginning of a new year is a great opportunity to rethink, plan & visualize your life flow. Through this short method (in Notion or Google Calendar) you can nail your life flow & download it into your routine.

So the next time you want to set up a hands on work session, or a get to know intro meeting, or a yoga class, youโ€™ll know what the most suitable time blocks are for the specific activity, that will not disrupt your other life categories productivity & focus.

It is a yearly contract you sign to meet your own expectations. You look straight in the eyes of your actual time assets & figure out your real activities capacity. This helps you experience a balanced, productive life flow & prevent frustrations along the way.

So how we do it ? ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿพ
โ€
๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿพ Define your NEW YEARโ€™S life CATEGORIES & give each one a
different color.
โ€
Categories are activity fields such as : work | family | wellbeing | investments & financials etc.

โœŒ๐Ÿพ In each category define your NEW YEARโ€™S life ACTIVITIES
make sure you give them the category color

Activities are specific actions that are part of a category such as: UX Design (work) | Cooking (family) | Meditation ( Wellbeing ) etc.

๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿพ Plan your calendar in week view by scheduling permanent
repeating time blocks for each category.
โ€
๐Ÿ––๐Ÿพ Fill your category time blocks with your constant activities. Constant activities are actions you know you are doing on a regular basis, like office work, client work, mediation, meetings etc.
โ€
โœ‹๐Ÿพ Now that you have your week organized, let it be your guide plan for your ongoing scheduling. Stay loyal to it when you schedule your next network meeting or therapist appointment. If you do, you are more likely to experience a balanced, clear, focused & full life flow.
