QUOTE OF THE WEEK

WHAT’S THE GAME PLAN?
THE Q1 GAME PLAN

Q1 is officially here.
Today's game plan is all about how to start the year strong. Per usual, I’ll try to make this a quick read.  

Here are 4 ways to start Q1 strong ⬇️

1. Lock in on Q1 only.
Don't plan for the whole year. Yes, I mean it. Don't plan for the entire year. Let me explain—planning for the whole year can be overwhelming.
But don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying to not have goals for the whole year.
I’m saying it’s much easier to take it one day at a time and one week at a time than to think about the whole year.

So, right now, just focus on the first quarter.
Break down that big goal into small, daily tasks.

Just like in sports, when you’re playing in the first quarter, you’re not thinking about what you’ll do in the fourth quarter, right?
 By the time you get to Q4, you might have to switch up the game plan. 
So, for now, think about the things you need to accomplish in Q1 to lay the foundation for a successful year.

2. Name it.
What do you want to call Q1 of 2024? What does this quarter mean to you? What does it represent? Give Q1 a name and let that be the focus of the next 4 months.

Then, write down that one word or phrase next to your bed, mirror, on your wallpaper on your phone, or on your computer.
Keep that word or phrase close so that you see it every day.
Let this be your daily inspiration and motivation to help you stay on track every day.

 3. Non-negotiable
What is a non-negotiable? I’ll tell you.
A non-negotiable is something that you need to do, and it has to happen no matter what. For example, your non-negotiable as a content creator might be to post every day, or if you’re on your fitness journey it might be to go to the gym 4x a week.

Non-negotiables are similar to to-dos but they are a more serious commitment. It’s like a promise to yourself that no matter what, you’re going to get the job done.

4. Protect your peace
In 2023, I learned how important it is to protect my peace. For me that meant, going on runs, tapping into my creativity, saying no to things that didn’t serve me.

Protecting your peace is a lot like self-care. If you don’t know what it means to protect your peace, start by thinking about what makes you feel good physically, mentally, and emotionally.
 
Once you discover what that is, make sure to do it daily.
A lot of times we get so caught up on the things that need to get done that we forget to take care of ourselves. But we need to show up for ourselves mentally, emotionally and physically in order to be the best version of ourselves.

That’s it. That’s the game plan. 
How you start Q1 will affect how you start Q2, and so on.
Lock in, you got this sh*t.

Remember, 1% better every day, and small wins are WINS!
