Scheduled agendas don’t work for everyone
Do you feel like no matter how much you make plans or schedule things, you can never get what you needed done, done? Yea, me too.
So a few weeks ago, I sat down and planned the rest of the month of June out. Every day, something I was going to do to push my art business further in the direction that I wanted it to go. I thought I was doing good, small tasks every day that I wasn’t dedicating time to my art and bigger tasks on days that I was. Well… I failed.. Horribly. I did maybe 3 things, didn’t do my number one thing of creating a long form video every week and just felt like a failure.
Now, this week, instead of pouting and feeling guilty, I picked it all back up and created a new plan. Will this plan work? No clue, but its worth a shot. You have to keep trying different things in order to find something that does work.
What I did:
I wrote down must do’s for the next 4 weeks. Things that I absolutely had to get done. I decided to hyperfixate on two areas in my life that I REALLY REALLY want to make a move in. My health and my art business. I wrote down a few things in each field that I NEEDED to do, no if ands or buts in order to move forward, then I broke it down into small bite size pieces.
I want to lose weight and get stronger:
8k-10k steps every day
500 cal deficit
exercise 5-6 times a week for 20 mins
Results:
Feel and see results within 4 weeks
Art business:
1 email per week
1 long form video per week
4 short form/posts per week
1 blog post per week
Create 15 mins per day
Results:
Get traction and grow email list by 10
Gain 50 followers on youtube
Have ideas for 5 new pieces
finish and deliver commission
Now I haven’t followed this to the tee, but I’m sure trying. I’ve done pretty good for the first week and with practice and persistence I really think that it’ll all fall in line and become something amazing! For the next 3 weeks, I’m going to seriously implement some major changes to be able to make headway in my business and my own life to make some crazy things happen in the near future and I’m beyond excited about it!
I hope you have an awesome day and do something today to make yourself proud tomorrow!
