How to Simplify Your Routine Without Lowering the Bar

Your routine looks a lot less impressive than it used to. Same few breakfasts, fewer workout days, a tracker you stopped filling out. So are you making progress, or did you just lower the bar? Honestly, that’s a fair question. And I’m not going to tell you everything you stopped doing was automatically the right thing to stop. In the last episode, we talked about how to start when your to-do list is too long. This week is about what happens after you’ve made the plan and it turns into a lot to keep up with. More recipes, more prep, a tracker, a new workout plan, a morning routine that’s supposed to make it all happen before anybody else needs you. Taking care of yourself starts to come with homework. So we’re looking at what your simpler routine is actually producing, and whether you can let it count. What You’ll Learn: The question to ask before you add one more thing to your plan Why a five-day workout plan you keep missing might add up to less than two sessions you actually show up for Why a boring routine (yes, the same few breakfasts on repeat) can make healthier choices easier The three places to look for progress before you decide you’re not doing enough How all the choosing, searching, and comparing before you even start eats your time, and which decisions you can make once How to tell whether you’re simplifying or avoiding, and when one skipped day starts turning into a pattern Why deciding to do more should come from what you keep noticing, not from frustration Resources Mentioned: Previous episode, How to Start When Your To-Do List Is Too Long Grab the free 1% Better Bingo Card and start with a square that matters most to you.
