This is Anne with your Coaching On The Go.

As you create this beautiful schedule that you love, appreciate, and are aligned with there are eight steps I want you to consider.

Today I’m talking about the first, Assess Your Work Style and Priorities.

You’re going to assess this today.

You’re going to identify your most productive times of day.

When you look over your day, when are you on point and when are you out to lunch figuratively?

You get to design a day that works for you.

We are in this nine-to-five society that doesn’t work for everybody.

Trevor Blake has the kind of schedule that’s heavy on work in the earlier part of the twelve-hour day.

A friend of mine, Andy, who spoke at one of our last events, works like I do.

He hits the ground running late in the evening.

When I look over my life, the most productive times to me are mid-morning to lunch, then evening, sometimes late because the world is quiet.

Look at how you operate, and what is best for you, and block that out.

The second thing I want you to do today is to look at your key priorities and non negotiables.

Make a list of those.

For me it could look like; productive time, creating content,  creating(art), and time with my parents, and getting them to doctor’s appointments.

What are your key priorities and non-negotiable tasks from work to non-work?

Walking in nature, having lunch, having dinner, taking a nap, whatever those things are amidst your work priorities, mark them down in a list.

The third thing I want you to do is look at these activities and decide which ones need deep focus and which ones can be done more flexibly.

You can start to see what’s being created here.

You are getting an understanding of where your most productive times are and what kinds of activities should be placed there. (but you’re not doing that yet!)

You are identifying how you work, what times of day are the best for you for different things, what is most productive, what are your key priorities and non-negotiables, and which things you do each day that need deep focus and which can be done flexibly.

That is your work for today.

Have a beautiful day.
