Don’t seem to get anything done off your To-Do List?
Suffer from “Decision Fatigue?”
Are really busy, frazzled & overwhelmed no matter what?
😳😨😬
Oh I feel ya! And my clients experience this too. It’s not “sexy” but it’s where the MAGIC happens with success is building a sustainable routine. One way my approach is unique; I don’t just “tell you what to do” but actually help you REALISTICALLY implement it into YOUR life 😄’
What are two of the top strategies that successful, healthy people use?
Habit Stacking & Time Blocking are two very important tools I teach my clients in order to be able to “run the day” instead of feeling bogged down, frustrated and stressed.
➡️Tip 1: Habit Stacking
This is a technique where you pair a NEW behavior/habit you want to implement with an existing one. When it comes to habits, we want to keep them SIMPLE, EASY and DIRECT.
For example, say you want to drink more water:
You drink a glass of water as you brew your coffee or tea.
You have a glass of water as you sit down before every meal.
You have a glass before you check your email.
Ideally you do the new behavior before the established behavior, Try to be as specific as possible.
For example: I drink water after brushing my teeth and before I drink coffee.
➡️Tip 2: Time Blocking
This is a technique used to increase productivity, create structure & can work for anyone (even kids need this! Contrary to popular belief, multi-tasking does NOT make you more efficient.
Time Blocking is when you designate specific blocks of time to doing only certain tasks.
How to do it: Look at your daily and/or weekly calendar and designate specific times that you will do certain things.
You then decide on specific (yet realistic) time frames that you will complete these in. Allow for enough time, but also create a reasonable block so that it create a sense of urgency to complete it.
For examples: At 8-9am you exercise, from 12 to 3 you have meetings, you check your email at 10am and 4pm. You grocery shop Friday evenings and designate 2 hours Saturday morning to food prep. Having a routine is so helpful!
➡️When you are more focused and productive, you’re more energy, less stressed, and better equipped to reach your goals AND maintain the results!
As a coach, I bridge the gap between knowing “what to do” & putting into ACTION! 🙌
