Happy May Day!!
I'm super excited looking at the month ahead. It's going to be great!
I love that Sunday's (for the most part) have become a day for me to refocus myself on my goals. It's a way for me to make sure I'm sticking to my plan and trying all of the organizational ideas that I want to try. Remember, some will work for me and some won't. The same goes for you. (And when Sunday's don't give me the time, Monday mornings work just fine.)
One very important task I do on Sunday's is looking at the week ahead and making sure my calendars are in sync. Some of the networking groups I belong to meet every week, however other's are bi-weekly and with each group come different responsibilities such as speaking at a meeting, or running the meeting because someone else is going to be out. Then you add in meetings with clients, sales reps, etc... along with personal obligations that come up, and the week can get a little crazy. That's why it's important for me to make sure I'm in sync and review what's ahead.
Sunday's are a day that I review my social media and set the schedule for posts if I have a particularly busy week ahead. I try to write in my blog and spend time on my vision board and now, my vision workbook. If I'm speaking I've written notes for the speech, invariably at different times and I now have to put my notes in order and make them into a speech.
I also try to take a few minutes to review my organizational goals. This helps me figure out what is working and what isn't. What I'm doing well and what I need to work on.
I can tell you right now, I still haven't blocked time or set a timer and this taking a break thing is killing me. I think about it often, but I just can't stop doing what I'm doing to take the break. Last Friday I put my lunch in the microwave and went back to my desk. I forgot about it for almost 2 hours! It's difficult for me to un-focus when I'm focused on work. Actually when I'm focused on anything. I truly block everything else out and focus all of my attention to the task at hand. That can be good or in the case of my lunch and breaks, not so good.
As I always say, I'm a work in progress. How did you do with your goals this past week?
