30day goal halftime evaluation

I am currently in the middle of my 30day goal “Being intentional with my time”.
It involves using google calendar and planning in things like my training, TFC “work”, rest times and all the tasks.
What worked: It was going great in week one, I planned almost everything and felt like I had the time for all the different areas in my life. I felt in control and very productive and I was happy about it. In week two I used my system less (PMS&Period), but I was able to not stress too much about delays or “unplanned” stretches of time. I was often able to coursecorrect during days where I almost went into “waste” mode and did something restful or energizing instead.
I also feel good with having all appointments in the calendar, and it gives me peace to know that I blocked time for my training until the end of the week.
What didn’t work:
Initially I thought times where I have PMS or a heavy period a calendar with planned rest times could help me a lot – I could e.g. delay my morning start time to give me room to just be. But I found I go back to old patterns instead. I did not even look at my calendar, I went straight into “oh no it is so late already!” and started working, but at half power because there was no higher planning. I also got distressed when I had a very long phone call and a walk with a good friend one day, as I felt afterwards that it was unneccessary long and was a waste of time during my most productive hours.
Do Differently:
Make it a habit to quickly check in with the calendar in the morning. Even when I don’t feel like it. I think this might help me plan less for those days (or more rest) and feel good about it. This is a trial that I will evaluate after the months, but without a real go in it I have no data. Make active decision (even more!) during activities, being aware that a yes to one thing means a no to other things.
I appreciate additional coaching 🙂

 

 

Answer:

Love this evaluation! You’ve already taken the biggest step which is making a decision and going for it. It’s supposed to be a bit wobbly at first. What would radical self love look like for you in this moment?  Love and compassion and understanding first. How can you use this as an opportunity to strengthen you relationship with yourself?  When you’re ready, you decide if you want to make adjustments.
