Set aside time for strategic planning: Invest in yourself by planning ahead on Fridays, evaluating the week, and focusing on implementation during the week to reduce stress and increase productivity
To manage feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, and mental fatigue, it's essential to take time for strategic planning. The speaker recommends setting aside time, ideally on Fridays, for a "Strategic Sundays" session. During this time, evaluate the previous week, identify what went well, what could be improved, and what needs to be said no to. By planning ahead and using a time-locking strategy, one can reduce mental load and focus on implementation during the week. This intentional planning not only helps manage stress but also increases productivity and overall growth. Remember, taking time for strategic planning is an investment in yourself and your goals.
