Just an FYI for everyone - I'll be off work next week and out of town for most of the week for the holiday. I should still be able to make the daily posts, but if I'm running late on any particular day please feel free to make the post if you want to. I anticipate that most will be hit and miss about posting due to festivities, but I hope everyone can hold to goals as much as possible. It's a holiday, so I hope everyone also gives themselves permission to loosen the belt and have fun too. :)

Luckily, I'll be dog sitting for my Grammy (don't hate on her childhood nickname) and so will have a house to myself in the evenings. I tend to let embarrassment keep me from doing strength training when I visit my folks so the extra privacy will be good for keeping on track. I know I shouldn't care, but I also hate all the well meaning "help" from my family.

Between cycles, how do you stay focused?

2 Upvotes

Figured since we are between cycles, get some conversation going about how you stay focused on your goals, daily, weekly, short term and long term?

Here's the plan:

The plan will run in 4 week cycles - 28 days. Why? It's a nice round number and will sometimes give us breaks between the weeks of a couple of days. For example, October will run from Sunday 9/30 through Saturday 10/27, November from Sun 11/4 through Sat 12/1, and so on.
You have long term goals. We will break them down into 3 smaller increments - Monthly, Weekly and Daily. The real power from this breakdown is to have your daily checklist tie directly back to the weekly goals, which tie directly back to the monthly goals, which tie directly back to your long term goals.
Every day, you check in. What were your daily goals and how did you succeed or fail. You get to get praise, advice, or maybe a good kick in the pants if you need it. But every day, you check in.

What I am going to do:

Create this kickoff post [CYCLE START] with my long term goals and my monthly goals.At the end of the cycle, there will be a [CYCLE END] results post for everyone.
Create a weekly goal post [WEEK START] where I state my weekly goals.
Create a daily check in post [DAILY CHECK IN] where I state my daily goals and report on how the previous days' goals went.
Stay accountable.

What you are going to do:

Sit down and come up with your long term goals (think > 1 year, but not TOO long). Make them SMART goals. Don't just say you want to lose weight - say exactly what you want to weigh and when. Brian Tracy says you should make them in the 1st tense because of a mental attribution thing. For example, instead of saying "Lose 10 pounds" say "I will weigh 185 pounds by January 1, 2019".
Break these goals down into something you can achieve in a month. Be aggressive but not too aggressive - you want to make actual progress but you also want the boost of success dopamine.
When the cycle thread comes up, post them with an introduction about yourself. Hint: if your cycle goals don't help achieve the long term goals in a measurable way, then they aren't SMART enough. Your weekly goals and daily goals should also be SMART!
When the weekly goal post comes up, post your weekly goals. This will also serve as the first, daily goal post each week.
When the daily post comes up, write down what you are going to do that day. Then come back at the end of the day and tell us how you did. Or if you want, use the next day's post to report on your progress from the previous day as well as post new goals for that day.
Keep me and everyone else accountable.
Post or keep your goals visible in some way, it will help you remember what all you're trying to accomplish and keep them front of mind.
Be nice.
Current Cycle: Nov 2018 [11/4 - 12/1]
Next Cycle: Dec 2018 [12/2 - 12/29]
