The 6 Steps with instructions
1. Breathe space
Take some breaths to create space outside and inside.
2. What did I accomplish yesterday?
Celebrate wins and take note of any follow-ups.
3. What am I committing to today?
List my priorities for today, and capture any other thoughts in a separate backlog.
4. What are my blockers?
Is there anything I need from other people to make progress? List it and notify them.
Do I have any parts with thoughts, feelings, or beliefs that could hijack my plans? Connect with them and let them know what I need from them today.
5. What do my parts need from me?
Check-in with my parts. See who is showing up right now, or who I think might show up today. Ask them what they need from my best self so that they can relax and let me lead. List out any commitments.
6. Gratitude & Get after it!
Thank your team for showing up today and making a plan. Now work backward from 5, then 4, then 3
