To kickstart my week, I set aside time on Sunday to craft my “Power 3” list—the three most impactful tasks that align with my long-term goals. I visualize each one, break them down into actionable steps, and mentally rehearse crushing them. Then, I block off dedicated time on my calendar, treating them like unbreakable appointments. It’s more than just a to-do list—it’s a strategy session with my future self!

@katerina_mirrart I really like the concept of the 'Power 3' list! Mentally rehearsing tasks could be a great way to boost confidence and stay focused.
Do you find that this method helps improve productivity throughout the week, or do you make adjustments to the list as you go along?
@katerina_mirrart @abod_rehman Can't agree more! I think without accumulating small steps, there's no way to reach a thousand miles :)

I realised that when there is no pressure, I do everything just in time. But when I know there is some important event or so, I prepare 1 month or week in advance.

@ludwigsolutionsai Turning partial losses into future wins is a great mindset. Do you find that reflecting on Sunday helps you kick off the week with more clarity?

I make sure i get plenty of sleep! :P
sometimes just rest, sometimes have to plan, really depends..
review my Google Calendar and change the color of important meetings to red. This will give me a quick overview of my day and help ensure I'm prepared for those key meetings.
I always plan my meals for the week ahead to save time and money. 🥰🥰
I review my calendar and prioritize tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed. 🥰🥰
@carleigh_griffiths Great! I do the same 🥰
Time blocking technique recommendation if you need! I prefer to do this at the end of my working day. It's flexible to be Fri or Sat, but briefing and summarizing what we have done that week will facilitate strong motivation and let us know what to do next week.
I will decompose those tasks based on the urgent level and distribute them to different time blocking. The urgent and vital one will be on the most productive chunks, I often leave to late morning to have my coffee awake me haha. I would recommend doing it with an online calendar to help them organize the task for you, and you just need to stick to it.
Don't forget to take a rest, a day to recharge your battery is vital if you want to be productive next week. Good and long sleeps are important!
