Recipe for Resolution #14 - Scheduling

Review your plans of action for your top goals and create a daily minute-by-minute schedule and incorporate time for your all of your new plan of action items.

Using recipe #12’s weight loss goal and plan of action as an example:
Monday, 6:15 am – wake up, read goals list, drink one liter of water, put on gym clothes.
Monday, 7:00 am join the gym.
Monday 7:10 to 8:30 am workout- stationary bike 20 minutes, nautilus equipment and free weights 40 minutes, sauna and stretch 20 minutes.
Monday 8:30 to 9 – shower, drive to work, eat an apple on the way.
Monday 10:30 am – eat a banana.
Monday 12 noon – take a 20 minute walk, eat a prepared  salad from home on the picnic table outside of office.
Monday 12:45 practice breathing exercises and rebound/stretch for 5 minutes.
Monday 2:30pm – eat an avocado at my desk.
Monday 5:30pm – stop at grocery store on the way home to buy fresh produce.
Tuesday and Thursday 6:30-8pm – Hot Yoga...

This is just a basic outline of a schedule for one plan of action – try to account for every minute of your day (even sleep time). The more detailed your schedule the better – the detail and practice of scheduling may seem excessive, but remember – you are forming new habits and taking control of your time, life and health so that you can reach your ultimate goals.  Stick to your schedule daily – remember to incorporate reading your goals list daily into your schedule.

After approximately 21 days of doing this, you will find that the new items on your schedule will become new habits in your life. Your time (and health) are the two most important things in the world – give yourself 10% of your best time each and every day and you will find that the other 90% of your time will be exponentially more productive.
