Winning the day...
Processes & systems lead to results
Opening ceremony
Protect the first hour of the day, create your planner/to do list and only start deep work!!
Identify 3 Frogs
Frogs come from the book by Brian Tracey “Eat that Frog” it means identifying your worst tasks first & getting them out the way as quickly as possible.
2 minute rule
You can do something immediately if it takes 2 minutes if any longer it will take you away from deep work or frogs!
Closing ceremony
Cal Newport the author of Deep work calls this “Shut Down” – ensure that you acknowledge all that you have achieved by highlighting or ticking accomplishments. Achievement underpins motivation and you will be sure to get an endorphin rush.
Weekly reset
On Friday’s closing ceremony set up the week or do it at Monday’s opening ceremony.
Environment
Everything has a place, set yourself up for success. Chefs prepare service by having all the ingredients ready, be sure at your Opening ceremony to be ready for the day.
Micro Breaks
Set up your day for success, by taking micro breaks – at least 15 minutes outside.
