A DAY IN THE LIFE - (1 PART FITNESS 3 PARTS FAMILY)

I like to take the opportunity to provide more insight towards how I personally manage my time. We all can and need to be more consistent in everything we do. So, I am respectfully sharing my personal approach and philosophy, with hope that it may benefit you somehow.

Time is something that you control for yourself (mostly), and the management of your time should revolve around your core values and what is important to you whilst aligning with outside needs.

For me, it is centered around my Care and Support beliefs with the 2F’s (Fitness & Family) as my anchor, with these F’s broken into 3 components.

Whereby, Fitness encompasses my physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing, and Family representing my personal family, my work family and the outside world, people I know currently and or will meet in the future.

Each day is broken into 4 sub days (for lack of a better way to explain) 1-part Fitness 3-parts Family.

Part 1 (Fitness): Starts at 4:00 am and ends at 8:00 am, wherein I consume 2 forms of nutrients (shake / meal), workout, do some form of cardio and or box and meditate.

Part 2 (Family): Starts at 8:00 am and ends at noon, whereby I consume 1 form of nutrient (shake / meal), focus on my pre-set work task / meetings and allow float for unknown requirements.

** Key is getting all preassigned task(s) complete, not allowing myself to justify why a task was / could not be completed, just placing all effort on getting the tasks complete.

Midpoint – Meal & Audio Book and/or Meditate 

Part 3 (Family): Starts at 1:00 pm and ends at 5:00 pm, whereby I consume 1 form of nutrient (shake / meal), focus on my pre-set work task / meetings and allow float for unknown requirements.

Part 4 (Family): Starts at 5:00 pm and ends at 9 pm, whereby I consume 2 forms of nutrients (shake / meal), focus on personal family, with a focus for 30 minutes on fitness before sleep.

I should have qualified, this is a dive into one of my odd approaches in life, this works for me personally and allows me to stay consistent and focused. This also allows me to carry my hefty work load and makes me efficient and effective in accomplishing the deep pool of task as well as goals.

This is a 7 day a week approach for me, with the 4 quadrants always in tack, with only slight adjustment to what is included within each part. For example, if I travel during the typically work week, I will do so in part 1 or part 4, so part 2 and 3 are not diluted, then adjust my fitness part as required and give more to the outside world because I’m away from personal family and can use this time accordingly. As well as, on weekends I will only commit to work in part 2 and leave the time in part 3 for personal family, etc.

The annual goals I set, that are then broken into quarterly and monthly rocks, repackaged into weekly goals and then 2-part daily task, is the approach I have developed to ultimately achieve success, stay balanced and stay true to my Care and Support beliefs.

True as a law of nature when I deviate from this model and mindset, I fail.

I hope you can take something from this approach that will support you in achieving your defined success and goals.
