Before I experienced burnout, I had no idea how to be intentional about the week ahead. Over the past 7+ years, I’ve learned how routines play an important role in my joy and well-being. Today I’m sharing one of my favorites – the weekly set-up for success.
I call this the
Weekly Joy Check.
- Weekly Joy Check
- Check-in on your Ideal Lifestyle in 10 domains weekly
- I do this on Sunday evenings or Monday mornings
- When our lives are mis-aligned, it can be hard to know where to focus our attention. Based on your previous week, rate each area in your life. When you’re done, you’ll know what areas need your focus. Keep in mind that you shouldn’t work on all areas at once.
- 10 pillars – Health, Mental/Emotional Health, Family, Friends, Partner/Love, Work/Mission, Experiences, Learning, Spiritual Health, Financial Health
- Pick 1-2 domains you need to focus on in the upcoming week
- Make a goal in these 1-2 domains and schedule it on your calendar
- Example: Health – get back to fitness classes by scheduling 3 on your calendar; Friends – return your friends call this week; Learning – read a book for 30 minutes a day this week
- Weekly Mantra
- Weekly Mantra or Word for the Week
- Weekly 3 Goals
- Weekly 3 Goals – these correspond to your Quarterly Goals – broken down into baby steps to achieve them
- Check-in on your Ideal Lifestyle in 10 domains weekly
