🔁 1. Single-Tasking Focus

□ Today, I chose ONE main task and gave it my full attention
□ I protected blocks of time for deep focus

Reflect: Where did I notice improved focus or better results today?

💡 2. Learn from Mistakes

□ I acknowledged a mistake without self-judgment
□ I asked myself: What can I learn from this?
□ I adjusted my approach based on past feedback

Reflect: What felt like a failure this week, and what wisdom did it offer me?

🌞 3. Morning Grounding Routine

□ I started my day with one or more of the following:

□ Movement (walk, stretch, workout)
□ Mindfulness (journaling, reading, meditation)
□ Nourishment (hydrating, healthy breakfast)

Reflect: How did my morning shape my mindset today?

📊 4. 80/20 Clarity

□ I identified the 20% of tasks that bring 80% of the results
□ I said no (or delayed) tasks with low return
□ I focused on needle-movers today

Reflect: Which tasks drained my time? Which ones truly moved me forward?

🚫 5. Protected Time & Boundaries

□ I said ‘no’ to something that didn’t align with my goals
