Today's tip 43 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: is t of your week a theme. Start your week 44 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: off right by establishing a focus for your time. By 45 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: knowing what you're week is all about, you'll accomplish your 46 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: highest priorities and you'll avoid feeling like time has no definition. 47 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: It does because this week, like all weeks, will be 48 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: centered on something specific. To choose a theme for the week. 49 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 1: Identify a top priority for the week ahead, and ideally 50 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: this is something important but not urgent. You know the 51 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: things you want to spend time on but keep putting off. 52 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: Choose one that can become a focal point. Maybe this 53 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: week is all about planning a great fall programming calendar. 54 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: This could be the week for writing your direct reports 55 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: annual reviews. If you've been meaning to reach out to 56 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: former clients to enquire about their needs, this could be 57 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: call old Clients Week. If you want to start giving 58 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: more feedback to your team, this could be give more 59 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: Feedback Week. Once you've decided on a theme for the week, 60 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: find a way to maintain your focus. This could be 61 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: a post it note on your laptop that says call 62 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: old Clients Week, or heading written at the top of 63 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: your planner, or a recurring event on your calendar app 64 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 1: that reminds you. Just make sure it's somewhere prominent so 65 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: that every day this theme is helping to direct your work. 66 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: The theme will help guide your choices about how you 67 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: spend your time. When we have a million things on 68 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,559 Speaker 1: our to do lists, we can tell ourselves we're making 69 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: progress whenever we cross a few things off. But when 70 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: we give our week a theme, we have a much 71 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: clearer idea about what we intend to accomplish. If it's 72 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: Thursday of Call Old Clients Week and you've called only 73 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: one old client so far, well, you know that you've 74 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: got work to do. If a meeting finishes early during 75 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: give more Feedback Week, you know exactly what to do 76 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: with the unexpected time. A bonus of giving your week 77 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: a theme is that it's easier to capture what you're 78 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: doing in your conversations with colleagues too. If you're asked 79 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: how it's going, you can talk about your efforts to 80 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: give more feedback to your direct reports, or or to 81 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: revamp the about us section of your website, or whatever 82 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: it is that you're focused on for the week. Your 83 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: colleagues will be impressed by your intentionality and your conversations 84 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: will be a lot more interesting too, So what will 85 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: be your theme for the week? Giving your week a 86 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: theme can help you approach Monday with a lot more excitement, 87 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: and I am always looking for ways to do that. 88 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: If you give your weeks a theme, you can tell 89 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: me about it at Laura at Laura Vanderkamp dot com. 90 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: In the meantime, this is Laura.
