A Sunday routine for a great week!
Since December, I’ve been doing a weekly reset activity to reflect on the past week and plan for the week ahead. I LOVE it. 😍
I’ve been increasingly disenchanted with the basic to-do list strategy for a variety of reasons.
But most importantly it was far too easy to do a lot but not achieve what really matters.
It's easy and tempting to focus on action instead of impact, but I can't tolerate that anymore.
Even when marching through tasks would be more comfortable...I'm clear about my purpose and I want results.
Enter Christine Kane – a coach, trainer, and entrepreneur who works a lot with creative small business owners. She hosted an online retreat called “Click” in early December and she introduced one of her signature activities, called The Sunday Summit.
It’s a series of questions to spark maximum learning and purpose in our actions each week.
I’ve been following her model ever since and I am struck by how well it keeps me on a path toward my bigger goals while still helping me get the baby steps between here and there done.
In this worksheet, I’ve adapted Christine’s Sunday Summit for all of you and I call it the Weekly Reset.
I do this each Sunday as a way to make sure that I am spending my time on the things that are truly important to me.
I also find that it helps me get clarity about what is in the way of my goals and reframe the challenges as invitations for further growth and learning.
I still keep a "master" to do list. And consider it extremely valuable.
But now I use the to do list as the ultimate brain dump (sometimes with categories!) while the really intentional work gets outlined during my Weekly Reset.
I hope you try it and find it as helpful as I have!
Love,
Marijke Ocean
