Put the tools together in one ordinary week
Tonight, open the evening planner. If you’re home alone after work, you might choose dinner, ten minutes on one task, and something enjoyable afterward. Write a start time beside the first action.
Tomorrow, put that action on the daily planner. Keep it small enough to use on a busy day. At the end of the day, write what helped and one thing you want to adjust.
During the week, try one Steadier Week exercise when you have a few minutes. Before the weekend, use the kit below to choose what you want to do and how you’ll handle a change of plans.
