And we're talking about the amount of chain that we're going to give ourselves to complete an activity for our anchors. Patricia Sung 00:09 So this is how much wiggle room do we really have? Some activities will have a lot of wiggle room, some will not. Now, when I look at breakfast before school, I'm going to have less wiggle room here. So I need to have a tighter chain length, because we have to leave at a certain time to get to school on time. That means that I think about like, from the front end, like, Can I start earlier? Well, it could. But like, realistically, I'm not getting up earlier to make breakfast. So that chain link isn't going to get any longer on the front end. If he's having a rough day, or I'm having a rough day, and we're running behind, we may need a little more time to eat. But really like seven o'clock is our like hard cutoff, like you have to be done eating at this time, we just right, we don't have time. So that means I have about a 10 minutes of wiggle room on the back end. Patricia Sung 00:58 Because realistically, I could skip clean the dishes and just leave that for later. So that determines my wiggle room. I'm not putting extra time on the front end, I'm not getting up earlier. And I only have about 10 minutes of wiggle room on the back end. So what I'd like you to do is think about this, and you're going to look at the anchors that you chose. So you pick two, four anchors. And, and if your anchors are going to be different for different days, you're welcome to just start with one day and focus on that first and we'll you know, flitter out to the other days later, focus on one if you need to, like, try to keep this as simple and doable as possible. Don't feel like you need to come up with the chain link for you know, seven days a week times four. All right now.
2. Patricia Sung 01:49 Okay, we're learning this skill. And we can apply it later. The actual implementation that we're doing right now is small. And we'll do that in just a second in in upcoming videos. Okay. So foundational schedule, look at the day that you have the most or if your days are pretty much the same level, you pick that one, and only look at those boundaries that you need to keep the four anchors within. So for each anchor, what's the earliest you could start that without being totally ridiculous? So like, if you're starting to make lunch, how early could you start that process? Like you're not going to start it after breakfast? Right? Well, but you might be like, Hey, I am I'm gonna make all the sandwiches and have them ready. That's cool. Like, let's not get crazier? Like, it's not like the one off? Like maybe some No? What are you really gonna do? Are you probably gonna have like, the start of this activity. Patricia Sung 02:40 And then what's the least you could finish this without there being a disaster. Okay, remember, you should we're including, like the preparation, the doing and the resetting of that activity within the bounds. How wide is that time length that you have to complete the activity. This is a first draft, you will probably be wrong in your estimates because we're not very good at this. That's okay, we're going to make changes as we go. I would love to see you post a photo or screenshot in the homework post called choose your chain link so that we can all start to see what we're all doing and get feedback. And if you're stuck, be sure to come to the weekly meeting or post the questions if you can't be there so that we can help you work through what that looks like for you. And of course make a plan to when to watch the next video. Okay, talk to you soon.
