Nuggets to get you through November…
nuggetsoflearning • November 2, 2020
We have one month of lockdown come Thursday, so what does your November look like?
Map out your month by using the number 4, as we have 4 weeks to focus on:-
- Plan 4 weekends – create special meals/home cinema night/family Zoom calls/cocktails
- Select 4 people you wish to connect with this month
- Focus on 4 work goals – that will make the biggest difference
- Identify 4 big exercise routines
- Read 4 books (one a week)
- Think of 4 house projects that have been outstanding for a while
- 4 ways to relax or simply 4 ways to be on your own
Traditionally monthly planning would ask you to think about the following as well as your Power of 4:-
- Note any special dates (any Birthdays etc…)
- Check your project list
- Meal planning and shopping lists
- Schedule your household chores
- Bills to be paid
- Schedule time for you
The other way to check whether you are on track, is to use Stephen Covey’s Habit 7 from the book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People – Sharpen the saw. He says to ensure that we are functioning on all cylinders think of your mind/body/heart and soul. So for the month of November map it out using this key:-
- Mind – what activities this month will grow your mind, reading, learning and acquiring knowledge
- Body – how much exercise will you do this month, and have you created a ritual or a routine to make sure it happens
- Heart – Who will you connect with this month? on a one to one basis outside or virtually
- Soul- What do you need to do to find space? – silence/meditation/outside/nature
