I apologize for not writing a blog last week. My wife and I were visiting Seattle, WA to spend some time touring a few apartments.
We are planning to move there in June of this year, upon the completion of my wife’s grad school program.
The trip was wonderful! The Emerald City (Seattle) is almost too good to be true. A great mixture of natural beauty and city-living has both my wife and I thrilled for our move.
But, as is common during travel, my schedule got flipped upside-down. Isn’t it funny how that happens?
We often set out with the best intentions but, when even the smallest of circumstances change, we fail to see them through.
In this blog, I hope to end that pattern for you. Or at least get you moving in the right direction.
Here are 3 simple strategies for fighting off follow-through failure and getting more productive:
- Reduce Friction
- Set out your clothes the night before.
- Plan out your day, using day scripting or checklists, the night before.
- Plan out your meals the night before, or even spend a Sunday afternoon doing meal prep.
- Plan out your workout before you begin.
- Set a routine.
- Give yourself a break!
