Today, we continue our Dadly Daily Declaration series with insights drawn from Robin Sharma‘s newest book, The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning, Elevate Your Life.
Our declarations around the The 10 Tactics of Lifelong Genius contained with this tome center on the Ninth tactic: The Weekly Design System (WDS). We now know that things that get scheduled are the things that get done. So, if you’re going to accomplish great things, you must design your with with a granulated game plan. Going into your week without a weekly design is like attempting to summit Everest or K2 without a climb strategy or hiking into the deep woods without a compass.
Undoubtedly, spontaneity and room for unexpected miracles are exceptionally important, Sharma writes. To implement this tactic, Sharma stresses the following:
- Carve out and then ritualize thirty minutes early each Sunday morning to create your “Blueprint for a Beautiful Week.”
- Start the process by writing a story in your journal about the highlights from the seven days you just lived. Then record your lessons learned and optimizations for making the coming week even better.
- Next, on a large piece of paper that has each day running from 5 AM to 11 PM on it, note down all your commitments.
- The key here is to list more than your business meetings and work projects. Set clear periods for your Victory Hour, your 90/90/1 sessions, your 60/10 cycles and your 2nd Wind Workouts, as well as time for your loved ones, blocks for your portfolio of passions and segments for your errands.
- Doing this weekly will build extraordinary focus into your days, yield marvelous momentum, enhance your productivity significantly and improve your life’s balance noticeably.
That leads us to today’s Dadly Daily Declaration:
Show personal responsibility and human maturity by habituating a practice to architect a thoughtful and clear weekly script that amplifies your energy, organizes your choices and ensures balance.
