Step 2. WRITE OUT YOUR WEEK
Step 3. MAKING IT LIVE
Use a big sheet of paper or weekly planning
overview (Kikki K has some great worksheets
for weekly planning) and on the left hand
corner bullet point the following 5 elements:
Transfer this to your digital agenda, update your
PA, team or any necessary ‘stakeholders’ of time
that is not available to be booked. By setting
boundaries you are providing people with clear
facts and the opportunity to work effectively
with you. Leading a team starts with leading
yourself. Set a great example. If you’re at home
and running a busy household then put your
agenda on the fridge so your family can review
what you’ve got on and respect the time that has
been planned in. If you don’t ask you won’t get.
Design your life.
a) Fitness & wellbeing
b) Friends - Book at least 1 catch up with
someone that you love hanging out with during
the week. Better still combine it with something
healthy and active or change from just going to
the usual place for dinner to discovering new
restaurants that are renowned for delicious
healthy food and something different.
c) Family - Schedule in quality family time,
whether it’s a phone call or Skype with loved
ones overseas/away from where you live,
something fun with your immediate family,
something active with your kids. PLAN IT
AHEAD OF TIME. Use a moment on Sunday to
sit down with your partner or spouse and plan
your week together, identify opportunities for
shared tasks and time either of you need to do
your own thing in terms of fitness or education/
social etc.
Step 4. BE CONSISTENT
Do this weekly!
Weekly work creates monthly change and helps
you fast track your goals. Ultimately you are
living your ideal life now by integrating all these 5
elements into your week, rather than waiting for
someone else to do it for you. If you don’t apply
ideas how will you know if they work or not. Back
yourself, get structured and make it happen.

d) Admin/Work productivity - Aside from day to
day meetings and work load think about getting
your personal finances, vision board, ideas
and weekly planning up to date. Write out the
overview for your tasks for the week and set a
monday morning or mid week update session
with yourself to review things you need to take
care of that are about your personal business.
Being in control of your life also means planning
finances, administration and higher education
etc. Don’t leave it to the last minute but
schedule at least 14 minutes a week for this.
Another 1% of one day well spent.
e) ME time - Ah! The one so many people let
go of first when the schedule fills up. If you do
not value time for yourself how can you expect
others to value your time.
How about dedicating 14minutes of your
day to be on your own, to have some down
time, to think , breathe, calibrate, ask yourself
some burning questions and let your intuition
have time to answer without distraction or
interruption. You will be surprised at what can
achieve with small incremental moments each
day.
Practical and results driven I hope this will help
you get fit, be decisive and achieve your goals.
Monday will have a whole new feeling than
before - it will be about potential and possibility,
milestones and mojo!
