Summary
Today, Lindsay is talking about setting up a Sunday routine that is like New Year planning, but done on the weekly.
It allows you to look at what's coming up and really keep your priorities top of mind.
It can be a lot of pressure to plan out the entire year and it doesn't account for unforeseen things… and listen, you might need to pivot.
Some points Lindsay covers:
First up, do a brain dump! Get a nice full list going with everything!
Then, organize your to do list- first up, automate, eliminate and delegate.
Rewrite your entire list each week. So nothing sits there getting stale and it is fresh in your mind so you spend your time doing the things that are important to you.
Some weeks you'll have time for projects like catch up on photo book making… and other weeks you won't - then you put it on the to do later list.
But everything is on the list!!
Also- don't take old stuff with you. Each week is such a fresh start. Really use it as a time to learn from mistakes, and let it go!!
It's a great way to focus on the future more than the past.
And it allows you to goal set for the week rather than the year. So you aren't setting a resolution that you break in 2 weeks.. you're planning out your priorities and things you need to get done weekly, rather than yearly.
It's an awesome way to start your week!!

| 0:00.0 | I love planning and goal setting and everything about the new year and looking at what's working |
| 0:05.2 | and what's not working as well and where you're at and where you want to be, all of it. But I've found |
| 0:10.9 | that the pressure of planning out the entire year is a lot and it doesn't account for unforeseen things. |
| 0:16.7 | And listen, you might need to pivot as you go. So I've set up a Sunday routine that usually takes about two hours, and it looks a lot like |
| 0:24.7 | most people's New Year's planning. |
| 0:26.6 | But it's tactical and practical, but it's because it's happening real time. |
| 0:31.0 | And I can set out my plan for the week with my priorities and my goals in mind. |
| 0:36.0 | I find that I waste less time during the week. I'm less |
| 0:39.5 | overwhelmed, even if I have so much to do in so many different directions, all because I |
| 0:44.7 | organize it before the week starts and I know my main priorities and objectives. It's less |
| 0:50.9 | pressure than New Year's goal setting and it's actually a fun little tradition to add into your week. |
| 0:55.8 | We're talking about looking at your goals weekly instead of yearly. Let's go. |
