Weekly Intentions and Theming for Focused Leadership

The easiest way I've found to have an effective year is to work in weeks. There's two ways specifically I'll pass on right now. The first one is practice storytelling your year week by week. So imagine the whole year is a book and then every week is a chapter installment. And I genuinely take time to think and pray and come up with a key phrase that is going to help me stay focused at a narrative level for that week. It's just kind of describing where I'm at, what I'm focused on. But what's amazing is when you string all of those phrases together and you literally make the book, you see an awesome story of your progress. The second thing is actually work in weeks. Structure your planner and your digital organizing system around weeks. Don't just put things in projects here, there, everywhere. But remind yourself that you are working chronologically to make progress under pressure.
