This episode is about repeatable systems vs. one-time processes and how that relates to time management. Hang with me here as this may sound a little complicated.
Let's start with an example:
A one-time process to clean out your closet helps you organize your closet once. Setting up a repeatable system for how you take clothes out and put them back helps you consistently stay organized.
How does this apply to productivity and planning? You may have a repeatable system for setting up your calendar for the week but what happens when one of these things happens: something takes longer than planned, an emergency pops up, and new things come at you that you need to squeeze into your week? Do you have systems for doing this?
Having systems in place to plan and manage our time can help us live a life of harmony where we don't feel constantly overwhelmed, exhausted, and stressed out. We need to account for the realities of life and create systems to adjust when emergencies happen. It will take time and patience to build the systems, but over time they will become habits.
In this episode, you will learn the following:
1. Discover the power of systems to manage your time and calendar.
2. What is the difference between a one-time process vs a repeatable system.
3. Find out why your goals won't be achieved without the right systems in place.
