Get Stuff Done

Life shouldn’t just happen, we need to make it happen!

Often we roll into a new week in reactive mode, just dealing with what comes at us. There will always be an element of this, but to be successful in life, we need to make the most of every day and ‘own our week’! We need to set the agenda, determine what we want to achieve and take serious action towards it!

The front cover warriors are my nephews, Freddie (7) and Harry Hollinger (5). They seemed perfect because they love having fun and epitomise taking life by the scruff of the neck and making it happen!

key personal priorities

These are 6 big areas of our lives, Relationships, Faith, Health, Personal Development, Work and Finance. It helps us to be intentional and to focus on what really matters, and this section helps you to do this. Now we know that potentially not all of these headings might be relevant to you – so we’ve made them particularly subtle, so you can amend to whatever works best for you. These are some of the overarching priorities for your week, that may often feed into your ‘Daily Priorities’.

daily priorities

These are the priorities you want to crush every day. They will often be made up of the key personal priorities you’ve already noted and allocated throughout your week, and any of the other stuff that makes up your life. It’s not about one day some day, it’s about this day, this week! Make it happen, and get things done!

key focus areas (30, 60, 90 mins)

Focuses on the important, not just the urgent. Life is full of screaming priorities and mad deadlines, and the important often gets overlooked. We’ve recommended 30 minute chunks of time. There is power in half an hour! So turn off your phone, find a productive space and create some focused thinking around key projects and initiatives that will move your life forward. If you can nail 30 minutes, why not look to double or triple the impact by increasing the time allocated to sixty, or ninety minutes. Be faithful in one day… one week… one month, and look back and see how far you’ve come!

Reflection and Review

reflection / review

You know what they say, you only manage what you measure. Review how your week has gone. Where did you nail it? What targets did you miss (and you will miss them!). But most importantly, what will you do differently next week, to own your week?!
