Step five schedule activities into a calendar, the more specific we are about scheduling and executing
our plans, the more likely we are to complete them.
Bigger time for each activity you intend to do and put it in your calendar.
Aim to match the activity with the best time of day for you.
For example, scheduling exercise first thing in the morning might work great for a morning person,
but would not set a night person up for success, but at least a day in advance.
So when you wake up in the morning, you will know what's on your agenda for that day.
Schedule events further out.
If they require advanced planning, like going on a trip, bigger tasks may need to be broken into smaller
steps and scheduled accordingly.
Most of us are more likely to complete the task if we've dedicated a specific time for it, otherwise
it's easy to keep pushing it off.
Um.
Step six, complete the activities when the time comes for your planned activities.
Make every effort to follow through with them.
It may be especially difficult in the beginning when motivation is still low.
Remember that every valid activity you complete brings you closer to your goals before you before you
complete each activity, set an intention to be as fully present for it as possible.
For example, if you're at the gym, really be at the gym, see what's around you, feel what you feel.
Notice what you hear.
Let yourself be fully in the experience this level of prisons will help you get the most out of each
activity and has the added benefit of making it harder to get stuck in the problematic mindsets, like
obsessive worry.
