In my last post, I talked about executing the plan I spent lots of time putting in place but what exactly is the plan? For starters, let’s talk about how I came up with the plan. I have been blessed to be able to purchase/pay for various services to research what works for me personally. I have done blood tests with Everlywell, metabolic and biometric tests. I have also paid for nutritionists and personal coaching. Add in countless books, podcasts and YouTube videos and I’ve certainly have enough information to put together a highly personalized plan for me.
So the plan! One of the biggest lessons I learned came from Ed Mylett’s book “The Power of One More” in which he discusses breaking your day down into segments for optimization. For me, this works out to 6am-12pm, 12pm-6pm, and 6pm-10pm. The best part of the segments is knowing where to implement systems. This may need to be another blog to break down the systems so this doesn’t become a novel but I’ll try to explain here.
Segment 1: 6am-12pm
During this time frame I have a few key things I need to get done. First being my morning routine of gratitude journaling, supplements, skincare and learning. Learning for me would be reading for a few minutes, listening to an audiobook/podcast or watching something informative. Another key thing to get done in this time frame is my scheduled exercise for the day. The best part about operating within segments is that I don’t feel bad if I miss going to the gym at 6am because I have until noon to get it done. Lastly is eating the meals/hitting the macros I have planned for the segment. This has been the best way to stay on track with my protein and water intake.
Segment 2: 12pm-6pm
This time frame is focused on work and macros. Honestly the most important thing is to stay focused on work so I can be done working at 6pm. Tasks will expand to the time you give it so by putting a hard stop on my work day helps me to stay focused to get as much done during the day.
Segment 3: 6pm-10pm
Last but not least, this time frame is dedicated to my hobbies, entrepreneurial endeavors…doom scrolling TikTok…I’m joking…kinda. Finishing out my macros for the day and having dinner by 7. Night routine starts at 9 and bedtime at 10.
As you can see, I didn’t expand as much on all that I do in Segment 3 but it is still more chill than the start of the day. My days are front loaded because it helps to build momentum for the rest of the day and it also leaves room to readjust. So if there is a day where I miss the gym altogether in Segment 1, the gym will be replacing TikTok in Segment 3.
It has been a great learning experience for me to find out what works best to stick with the plan and stay on track. My hope is that everyone can find their own systems to success.
