Welcome back to module six, we're talking about our daily check ins. Now, this is a really quick check in whereas our weekly plan, we're making much more detailed and looking at the whole week, our daily check in is quick, you have three different check ins. And you want to put this calendar somewhere in your day that you're going to be all the time. Patricia Sung 00:21 What's in your orbit, if you are at home, is that mean the kitchen? Does that mean? Like that kitchen island? Does that mean? Like, hung on the refrigerator on a magnet? Like where are you going to see this thing frequently? In your morning check in you might have it right by the coffee pot so that when you walk out, it's like, oh, yeah, this is what's going on today. Your midday check in you might want to do like when I was eating lunch, you glance at it and be like, Okay, do I remember what I'm supposed to do this afternoon, what else is going on. And then your afternoon evening check in that one, you're going to start looking at the next day, just the next day. Your I call like the tomorrow check in. Patricia Sung 01:01 So some of us are gonna want to do that right before bed like I usually do my check in about tomorrow. When after the kids go to bed, I come downstairs. Hopefully dinner's already cleaned up. And if not a pick up the kitchen, put away a few strange things have the house kind of set. And that's when I'm going to do my check in for tomorrow. But if you are one of those people's like, you know what my brain turns off at 8pm and I can't think about things that time, then you want to go ahead and find a different time where that fits for you. Like maybe that's before your kids get home from school or on your lunch break. Your tomorrow check in does not have to be at the end of the day. So you're going to find this time in the day for me I'm gonna say it's in the evening for me but like I said, put it wehre it makes sense for you.
2. Patricia Sung 01:45 I then go and look at tomorrow and double check again, that I didn't mean no miss something or forget about a transition because sometimes our brains just don't see those things. We're like, I've literally discount or 17 times how did I notice that I put the dentist's appointment directly in front of gymnastics and there's no way to drive there. Like that's, that's something our brains do and it's okay but that's why we're incorporating this check in multiple times a day so that our brain has a chance to catch all these things. So you look it over and okay, I see that I have this appointment the morning here's what's going on nothing out of the ordinary. Patricia Sung 02:19 And then also if you are going to do your to dues that's a time where you want to pick maybe three things that are gonna get done tomorrow. Not Oh, the thing is, but maybe like three and you can plan those into your day and know Okay, in the morning I really need to make this phone call. And remember our to do list stuff does not go in our calendar because calendar for things that have to happen at a certain time. Patricia Sung 02:41 So for example, if you know I have to call the doctor's office right when they open then yes, put a m call doctor's appointment because you'd have to call right when they open that's a certain time. Otherwise, you'll have your to do list. Well, I'm gonna get I've had myself Wait for that's a time where you can do that. So this daily check in is looking at your schedule. It is thinking about like, what do you need to prep for tomorrow? Like do I need to pack a lunch? Do I need to get anything ready for like a field trip special clothes uniforms like this time you're like, Oh, hey, I didn't watch the taekwondo. Like for their call to duty or something special outfit? These are the times where your brains and be like, Oh, right. Gotta do that. Patricia Sung 03:30 So things you need to prep anything you need to change. double booking is a thing special out of the ordinary happening. Did I give my top self drive time? Did I make sure that I left time to eat lunch? Maybe you need to have like a really easy dinner plan tomorrow because you know, you have rehearsals that go late that day. Again, I really liked doing the pen to paper on that day. So even if you're doing it in digitally, if you just write it out to like, commit it to your brain, and you throw it in the trash, like that's totally fine. Whatever it is, it's going to make your brain say, I know what's going on tomorrow. I have a plan. And I'm ready for the day. I know what I need to have to get ready. Sorry, that's my medicine alarm. I need technical. Okay. So oops. Patricia Sung 04:21 Okay, activity. Super quick today. 510 minutes and think about when in your day can you make these check ins happen? What makes sense for the patterns that you are doing currently? Remember that there may be you know, in a summer you may end up changing these times.
3. That's okay. Don't worry about all the possibilities. Just look at right now. Where are the times that you have a couple minutes to look at that calendar and do the check in morning, midday. And then the afternoon evening one and one of them needs to also be the tomorrow check in again fit that to your day and your style. Alright, you're doing great!
