Tip – Schedule Your Personal Success Goal First

Here’s the example I promised you of how I integrate my weight loss goals into my daily routine. The first thing I do when I start work is to spend 10 – 30 minutes on planning my day. Like everyone else, I have meeting requests or other issues beyond my control that require my response or attention. Part of the planning process is transferring the tasks from my “to-do” list to my daily schedule. Believe me, if it’s not on my schedule – it doesn’t get done! Since health is my number one goal, my workout is the first task added to my daily schedule.  Normally I schedule a noon workout (somewhere between 11:30 am — 1:00 pm). Occasionally I have to fit my workouts in after the workday or early in morning.

Further, I track whether or not I completed the workout, what I did during the workout and the time it took me to complete the workout. So every time I start a workout, I’m focused on what I’m trying to accomplish and when I’ll be done. I find this tracking vital to keep me progressing and even more important when I’m going through a difficult period. It’s really very straight forward, since I follow a designed routine I just have to fill in a few numbers and I’m ready to go.

Each night as part of my evening routine, I lay out my workout clothes and prepare the food I take to work. These days it takes around 15 minutes to do both chores. This helps me in the morning since I don’t have to bumble around trying to get ready to head out the door to greet the day!

Well, that’s enough for today, next time we’ll discuss another set of tips to help you accomplish your personal success goals.

Wishing you a larger life,
BB
