Front Loading

One of the habits I am continually working on is “Front Loading,” which is the idea that one gets as many things done as possible initially. It is based on the premise I would rather be proactive than reactive. I like it because it allows me to better handle the challenges that confront me each week. It is an excellent accompaniment to being prepared and staying organized, two of my favorite strategies for achieving success.

I make my schedule weekly for each Sunday night. I have a checklist that tracks how many tasks I have completed, how many I have left to do, and my weekly completion percentage. I will be super productive and frontload my tasks on Monday if I am on point. If I do not frontload on Monday, I will have no chance to complete my tasks for the week because no matter how well I plan, “Life happens!” There will be things that I am unprepared (not on my schedule to complete) for that demand my attention over my checklist.

Frontloading will lead to success in so many areas of your life.

Give it a try and let me know.

Hydration Habit Tracker: The Key to Consistency and Wellness

When I try to form new habits, I find the only way to be successful is to record my actions. For example, I am trying to improve my hydration. Hydration is essential for promoting good health and preventing the destructive results of insufficient water to be in homeostasis. Being adequately hydrated reduces my “need” for coffee, especially when I experience an afternoon slump, and keeps my skin smooth and healthy. I struggled with consistency until I started measuring and recording how much water I drank daily. Once I began to do this, I was more likely to reach my daily goal and maintain proper hydration levels. I use a spreadsheet instead of an app because I can customize it to what I want. I now track all of the daily habits I am trying to develop. Once they become a habit, I no longer need to track them.
