The weekend wasn’t as strong as I would’ve liked and I ended up with a lot of time that I didn’t know what to do with. This is what happens when I don’t have a plan or structure to follow.
But there’s a big lesson to come out of this that I need to plan my weekend every week so that I don’t drift. I need to put work periods in there, family periods in there, and maybe leave some time for free activities. However having nothing in the calendar is not good and leads me to drift a little bit.
Last week I ended up with 35.92 productive hours, and a calorie deficit of 5,926. These are short of the two main goals of 56 productive hours, and calorie deficit of 8,000 per week. Despite not hitting the goals (and being quite far off), the week felt quite productive so this gives me confidence of what I would be able to achieve in a week where I do hit both of these goals.
I started last week off slowly because of drinking on Sunday night, but I’m happy with how I pulled it back. Given I spent this weekend eating healthy food, making good choices and getting good sleep, I’m positive about what I can achieve this week.
I think that all of my goals are really attainable if I can get these two inputs met, and then by doing these, it will lead to chipping away at other goals along the way.
This week I need to remember the power of pushing through the really difficult times because that gave me a lot of strength last week. Even by documenting how I was feeling in certain part of the days and then having pattern recognition to know which part of the days I get tired etc really helped.
Currently I am also motivated by fear of missing out on a couple of massive opportunities that are going to pass me by if I don’t get moving, and they are OTP and Rounds.
Part of my planning will be making time for each of these so that I move them along. A big part of this is going to be focusing on my inputs because if I can get my hours done, then I will accumulate more resources and become more focused and skillful to be able to execute the opportunities.
