Do you need somewhere to start?
Here’s a step-by-step approach you can use to follow your daily plan and stay flexible enough to change your life effectively:
⸻
🧭 Step 1: Start Simple and Clear
Begin with a plan that’s easy to follow.
Example structure:
• Morning: Exercise + breakfast + focused work session
• Afternoon: Meetings + lunch + second work session
• Evening: Relax + review + plan tomorrow
Keep it minimal — 3–5 key tasks is plenty.
⸻
🧱 Step 2: Use the 3C Rule (Commit – Check – Change)
1. Commit: Follow your plan as best as you can for 3–5 days.
2. Check: At the end of each day, review what worked and what didn’t. Ask:
• Did I underestimate or overestimate how long tasks take?
• Did I feel energized or rushed?
3. Change: Adjust your plan gradually — not all at once. If mornings feel too packed, move one task to later in the day.
⸻
🕓 Step 3: Track, Don’t Judge
Use a simple method to track how you follow your plan:
• ✅ Tasks completed
• 🕒 Time started/finished
• 💬 Quick note on how it felt
This helps you see patterns instead of just reacting to frustration or guilt.
⸻
🧩 Step 4: Build in “Change Time”
Set aside 10–15 minutes every evening (or Sunday night) for:
• Reviewing your day/week
• Updating tomorrow’s schedule
• Noting what to test next (e.g., “try working out after lunch instead of before”)
Treat your plan as a living experiment, not a rigid rule.
⸻
🧘 Step 5: Focus on Habits, Not Perfection
The goal isn’t to follow your plan 100% — it’s to learn what kind of plan works best for you.
Small, steady improvements (even 10–20% more consistency per week) are what create long-term change.
