Episode #071- Why you may not be performing at your best

The Elite Road Warrior Podcast

Welcome to the ERW podcast, I’m your host, BpB, fellow grounded road warrior at this time, husband of one, father of five, and trying to figure out why I may not be performing at my best while working from home ALL the time.

CLEAR PLAN
Key Phrase - Think Planned Priorities

Energy Habits

1. Develop (read my Bible and another motivational book then write in my ERW Journal as well as develop content such as this podcast or a LinkedIn article)
2. Move - I’ll workout consisting of Run More / Lift More
3. Connect - with the Fam in a thoughtful, meaningful way before the day begins
4. Fuel - hydrate and have a Clean & Green breakfast

Here is my process:
Brainstorm what I want to accomplish for the day (and this is always a long list)
I look for themes - what are clusters I can group together
I put narrow them down to the most crucial 3
I list them in order of most important, 2nd most, then 3rd.

(Here are) Three parts of a CLEAR PLAN:

1. Focusing on your Energy Habits 1st thing and getting as many completed before work
2. Creating your Key3 for the day - the three most important tasks of the day
3. Creating and/or Reviewing your Schedule for the day ahead

Block & Tackle

Key Phrase - Think Planned Road Blocks

Focus Time Blocks - 90-120 minutes
Social Time Blocks - 90-120 minute
Administrative Time Blocks - 30-60 minutes
Recovery Time Blocks -

Energy Pacing
Key Phrase - Think Planned Energy Boosts

1. WHEN IS MY ENERGY HIGHEST WITHIN THE DAY?

2. WHY IS MY ENERGY LOW RIGHT NOW?

3. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO CHANGE MY ENERGY LEVEL?

4. HOW CAN I MATCH MY TASKS WITH MY ENERGY?

PACING IS MAKING KEY CHANGES TO BOOST MY ENERGY

1. CHANGE OF POSITION
2. CHANGE OF LOCATION
3. CHANGE OF ACTIVITY

PLAN - Think Planned Priorities

1. BLOCK & TACKLE - Think Planned Road Blocks
2. ENERGY PACING - Think Planned Energy Boosts
