Goals T2W10

Physical:

By Feb. 15, I will have done my Z exercises in the AM and the PM daily.

	AM	PM
S	👎	👎
M	👎	👎
T	Did what I can remember, didn’t want to spend time looking for Docs this am	Watched videos instead of looking for exercise Docs 😌
W	Head nods	Worked late, home at 9:15, 👎
Th	No	In Tulare for wrestling CIF
F	No	Just no. In Tulare
S	Yes	Yes, I did the original neck exercises, the ankle rolls and squats, and the standing hip exercises-controlled circles.

Review: I might have uploaded my documents, or maybe they’re in a folder in the safe, or in another binder. For whatever reason I decided to put them away, I was mistaken. These are a huge part of my physical health recovery and doing these exercises makes a huge difference in how well my body feels and moves. If I really could cut down on caffeine, get better sleep, and do these exercises, I predict I would have much more ✌️ x 🧠 (Peace of Mind). Why I wouldn’t do these exercises is because I won’t take the time to find these documents, because something else seems more pressing, or I just don’t want to take the time to look for them because it brings up a feeling of frustration when it starts taking time to find them. I will continue tracking this goal and set a reminder to find these docs when I get home.

By Feb. 15, I will have tracked all food consumed in the MyFitnessPal app.

Review: This has been a fun endeavor, I am enjoying the process of challenging myself to stay within certain limits, and then not really caring that much if I go over. This many weeks (4-5) of good data and the per-meal habit of mindfulness with food is hopefully building a good base on which to start building muscle and increasing my flexibility and mobility. I will continue with this goal as well as it is fun, and at times a challenge as I don’t always “feel” like analyzing my food. Actually another benefit is that I am getting better at learning to estimate food weights and measurements.

By Feb. 15, I will track all physical health data and review it in the Garmin Connect App.

Review: Having this Garmin watch is really rewarding as I daily check my previous days data. I’m interested in the Stress and Sleep mainly. I’ve noticed a consistent pattern of falling into deep sleep for a while, then into a light sleep, then REM.

This points right into my next goal which hopefully leads to better sleep. I’m assuming that more deep sleep and more REM is better than light sleep. I’m also assuming that my poor breathing is the reason for the light sleep. So, I’d like to improve my breathing while sleeping. Mouth devices, plus lower caffeine levels are within my control in order to address this.

By Feb. 15, I will have used my mouthguard and breatheright strips at night during sleep.

S	Mouthguard	Strips
M	👎	👎
T	👎	👎
W	👎	👎
Th	👎	👎
F	👎	👎
S	TBD	TBD

Review: I never bought the strips, so that is something within my control that I could make into a priority. I should buy them when we are done here at the wrestling tournament and heading to the boys tournament. I made a reminder to go by CVS when I am leaving this school. I really like the reminders app. If I have the strips, I will use them!

By Feb. 15, I will stop consuming coffee by 12:00pm (noon) daily.

S	👎 made coffee at 4:00 or so
M	👎
T	👎 drank leftovers in container
W	👎 sipped throughout the day
Th	👎 coffee at 5:30
F	👍
S	👎

Review: It is not even noon yet, but I am looking forward to afternoon coffee. This is proving to be my hardest goal but I am going to continue tracking it. I changed the goal to describe my cravings instead of stopping by 12. I don’t want to give it up.

By Feb. 15, I will have done 100 push ups per day, keeping in mind to work on the core squeezing.

Review: I have completely gotten out of this habit. I’ve been reluctant to do it daily because of the pain and effort needed to do it. This makes me feel ashamed, but it’s easy to put off in the moment. I’d like to report next week that I’ve gotten back into this habit.

Mental:

By Feb. 15, I will have categorized all transactions for my bank accounts to the beginnings my of January using Mint.

S	👎 Didn’t open the app
M	👎
T	👎
W	👎 didn’t open the app
Th	👎
F	👎

Review: The day is not over as I write this, so I could still “get in there” and do some categorizing. I haven’t yet because every time I think of it, I don’t have Next steps written, and I don’t take the time to grab my purple binder, organize my docs/mail, and begin. I know I’d be able to do it if I’d only begin, then begin again. If I wait too much longer, I’ll be letting the weeds overtake the garden.

By Feb. 15, I will read “A Confederacy of Dunces” daily.

S	👎 sat on my shelf
M	👎
T	👎
W	👎 no reading
T	👎 didn’t bring it to the hotel
F	👎

Review: As of writing this, I could still do some reading when I get home. I’d actually rather do that than watch some TikTok videos. Or just balance it out- 10 minutes of videos, then read. At the end of the day, I tend to zone out and want to forget about the day. Videos are the mindless stuff I default to. Books are a better way to go, though.

By Feb. 15, I will review my day, noting my part in the mistakes I made and how I am going to take action to repair each one.

The mistake, plus my part in the mistake	How I can start repairing
Relationship errors with how I treat loved ones.	I get caught up thinking I know best. I try to run the show.
Didn’t make my expectations for class time more clear. It prompted an email from parents asking for clarity.	I didn’t take the time to fully engage in what I was doing at the time. I don’t want to cut corners, so I am going to continue plugging away working diligently and not trying to take shortcuts. This will hopefully free up my mind in order to be more thorough in my communication.
I am stressed out	I am overloading my time during the day- trying to control everything
Not taking away phones in class, or even giving them low grades for not working.	I haven’t yet articulated my expectations because I haven’t talked with them enough to get their point of view on topics related to these principles of doing the right thing. In T3 I’d like to focus on Operating at your best? I’m still working out details, but Ownership of your work, your mistakes, etc. I have been saying I am information gathering, but I think part of it is that I just don’t want the fight. I have not been the catalyst for their best work.
Broke the “privacy” agreement from Health class, kids heard me say it.	Undermined my own integrity. Very embarrassing, not sure why I got so caught up in explaining. Maybe just feel isolated?

Review: If I want to not cut corners, I will need to be more mindful of delegating. This could end up biting me in the short term- because I’ll lose some control of quality- but I need to speed up feedback- and it’s too bottlenecked through me. This will require more of a top-level view, something I have been meaning to get back to, but I can’t focus on it if I am down in the trenches. I need to step out of the daily trenches, which requires relinquishing control, trusting others, and holding people accountable. So... how do I smartly set up this “decentralized command?” I guess I need to be very mindful of it daily. Also- establishing connections with people is going to be key as well.

Question to consider: Will decentralized command support our mission statement? Will it support my personal mission statement of increasing quality connections? Without articulating exactly how, I believe it will.

By Feb. 15, I will make a daily Action Plan using my Reminders App.

S	Procrastinating on this because it’s a lot of thinking.
M	Haven’t dived into it, working on grading at this point. That’s to say- I’m using Reminders very well, I just have my reminders backlogged so it looks like I am very behind.
T	Yes- using it thoroughly, need to balance it out with good planning in Google Calendar, also delegating HARD!
W	Didn’t delegate much, did keep up with putting in next steps, but also transitioning more towards calendar events so things are not ALL popping up as an overload. Ideally reminders would be minimal, and used as a database, with quick search functions. Next Steps/ Someday/Maybe, etc.
T	I have so much info in my reminders, I don’t need to continually reference like I was doing. Plus, there were not many pressing issues, most projects are within my sights, and I can get more of a deep dive into my tasks, not trying to figure out what to do next and try to get a lot of things under my control.
F	Barely even looked at them while at the tournament.
S	Same as Friday

Review: I can definitely use reminders to delegate. I like the system I have of creating a reminder with a person’s name, and the keeping that as a next action list. I’d like to get away from having multiple people scheduled to have their reminders pop up at a specific time, but at this point I’m not sure how to make sure I follow through with revisiting every kid during a time, and also how to allow for new things to come up each day. How do I build in space to the day, and still get it all done? Delegating has to be the answer. I need best practices for delegating. Now I have a reminder to start researching best practices for delegating.

Emotional:

By Feb. 15, I will recognize and record my emotions as I feel necessary.

S	Resentful at Cambria.
M	Guilty for being resentful about my job and Cambria. Happy to have my job, proud of cleaning up p8, hopeful that it will help me calm down and be more on top of all of my projects and engaged in what I am doing at every given moment.
T	Nervous, relieved. Remember that I don’t have to control everything.
W	Mostly calm, nervous when kids were in 3rd period, nervous a bit preparing for 4th. Relieved when 4th was done, thankful for how the day went. Calm and relieved when I put together the slideshows and started collecting the data in the hyperlink.
Th	Embarrassed about breaking the privacy agreement. Telling what funny things the kids said seems like gossip in this context, it’s uncomfortable because it feels condescending.
F	Nervous that I will be judged as a bad coach if my wrestlers don’t do well.
S	A mix of confidence, calm, and insecurity.

Review: I just wrestle with insecurity. That’s my ego. It would be useful to just recognize how I feel, not necessarily live my life by my feelings. I have higher principles to aspire to and look to, so I don’t need to swim in my feelings. JiuJitsu and wrestling really help with that.

Spiritual:

By Feb. 15, I will meditate for 12 minutes in the AM, and the PM.

	AM	PM
S	👎	👎
M	👎	👎
T	👎	👎
W	👎	👎
Th	👎	👎
F	👎	👎
S	👎	👎

Review: I haven’t taken the 12 minutes, but I’ve been in constant communication with God as I go through the day, asking for guidance and acceptance of whatever is right in front of me. There is something about actually closing your eyes and taking the time though, I just keep feeling that there are more “productive” things I could be doing at any given moment. Those are really misguided thoughts though. I really ought to get back to doing this.

Environmental:

By Feb. 15, I will consolidate and organize papers and other items as they come across my path.

S	? I started reorganizing p8
M	Resources: I see that I have a library of information. I’d like to consolidate this info by putting together little “pamphlets” or “journals” like Nancy’s math journals. I like those. Also for Articles- a read/review container? Bottom left shelf under the records. Bought the portfolios at Dollar Store- like modules of info.
T	Yes- I’m in progress. Remember to try to have less expectations and just be diligent and intuitive.
W	Good progress with the PPP curriculum.
T	More good progress with the curriculum and my space at school.
F	Started in on paperwork grading early this morning. Realized that I need to move gently through, paying very close attention to what should be done next. Then take the time to research and enter the next data point. Once I do this, I bet so will be amazed before I am halfway through.
S	Nothing.- at tournament and driving.

Review: If I start with “Design” and build from there, I believe I will make good progress with this having a searchable and easily accessible “database” of all of the best ideas I have come across.

Social:

By Feb. 15, I will make small talk with people throughout my day.

S	? I don’t remember yesterday, I just cleaned the house.
M	LIttle bit with wrestling coaches. Not much though.
T	No
W	Talked with Jim about the kids we know and their development.
Th	Not a lot of chance, I was fairly isolated today.
F	Yes with other coaches Atascadero and AG. I don’t have cauliflower ear, and many of the wrestling coaches here at the tournament do. That’s a club I don’t belong to. Coaches from Atascadero and Arroyo Grande were super helpful and nice to me.
S	Small talk with the wrestlers.
