016 - Trying out a new habit: Weekly Planning on Fridays

I’ve really enjoyed reading Laura Vanderkam’s Tranquillity by Tuesday: 9 Ways to Calm the Chaos and Make Time for What Matters. From an anthropological perspective, it’s interesting to read a book rooted in the experiences of a group of people putting the productivity and time management ideas into practice and I especially enjoyed reading why things did and didn’t work for particular individuals. Being on a journey of trying to work less hard and find more balance made this book appeal to me more with a central focus on calm and wellbeing alongside more traditional productivity techniques. The first ‘rule’ that I put to the test for me is Rule Two: Plan on Fridays. In this episode I share what happened in the first few weeks of the experiment and what I learnt along the way. Here's the blog post with all the details if you are curious to try this out for yourself.  Find out more about: Virtual Teams Book Free online course starting Spring '23 Coaching with me Resources and blog posts
