Physical:
By Feb. 8, I will track all food consumed in the MyFitnessPal app.
S | Super Bowl Night- I was at a friend’s house and just didn’t want to be weird and obsessive. No need to be, so I didn’t track tonight. All good, I’ll get back to it in the morning. I didn’t actually eat very much anyway, plus it was pretty healthy except for M and M’s. |
M | 👍 |
T | 👍 |
W | 👍 |
Th | 👍 |
F | 👍 |
S | 👍 |
Review:
This is becoming such a habit that it’s pretty easy, almost to the point of being fun. In the future I could start analyzing the nutrients and other aspects of the foods I eat, but for the next few weeks I’ll just keep up with tracking. I think that I really ought to do this tracking with money as well, now that I think about how easily this habit has developed.
By Feb. 8, I will track all physical health data and review it in the Garmin Connect App.
S | Get to know the “My Day” section using the Venu. |
M | Connected MyFitnessPal to Garmin Connect |
T | Done. Didn’t review yet 7:00 am |
W | Reviewed. Seems to be doing a good job. |
Th | Reviewed again. I don’t think that the heartrate monitor is accurate. I should investigate this a little more. |
F | Heartrate seems inaccurate, I am sleeping lightly, not deeply. |
S | Still not sleeping deeply. Cambria bought the mouth guard thing- I ought to use it. |
Review: As I look at this data, the things that seem like the most unhealthy aspects are my sleeping data. I sleep lightly, and according to my wife I snore like crazy. She bought me a mouthguard device that is supposed to help, I ought to start using that. I also ought to use breathright strips because I know they help, and I ought to stop drinking coffee late in the day, it’s an unhealthy habit that I have developed over the years.
By Feb. 8, I will have done 100 push ups per day, keeping in mind to work on the core squeezing.
S | 100 |
M | 80 |
T | 100 |
W | 100 |
Th | 20 |
F | 0 |
S | 0 |
Review: Saturday I hurt my body by warming up a wrestler without warming up myself first. Oh well. Back to the basics again for week 10. I will continue doing this goal, but I realize that if I want to actually make progress towards my overall goal of being able to move easily as I get older, I ought to do the Z exercises that Ryan gave me.
Mental: By Feb. 8, I will recognize where I have made mistakes, and I will work to see my part in those mistakes, not apologizing for things I don’t need to apologize for, but instead working to make things right from here on out.
Mistakes | My part/not my part |
Setting up the structure of my class activities to be disjointed, rushed, or not clear. | Not implementing good leadership qualities, due to thinking that they are too outside the status quo. Trying to have my feet in both sides of the playing field, instead of trying to be creative and putting together the structure the way I see it will meet objectives on every front. I am sad because when kids gave feedback on the school stress survey, they basically said I am a bad teacher and that I don’t teach them anything. Anyway, I am assuming they were talking about me. |
I haven’t updated grades | I have not been very diligent about staying on top of my grading. |
I was very behind on getting feedback from other people, which put undue pressure on them, because they want to do a good job. | I had been unorganized and afraid to get down into the dirt of doing the paperwork, because of the time I thought it would take. I have been taught this lesson before, but I have not made it a habit to avoid this type of rushed paperwork completion or planning. |
I have resentments towards people for judging me. | I did make mistakes, that is not my problem that they are categorizing me as “bad”. Besides, that is an incomplete characterization of my teaching abilities. |
I am worried that I didn’t come down harshly enough on a student for being disrespectful. | If I didn’t, and the student is continuing to escalate their disrespect, am I going to have colleagues be upset with me? I guess I will find out. This day has a lot of information coming at me fast. The truth will come out, so I have nothing to be afraid of. I know what to do if it turns out I made a mistake. |
I haven’t done enough planning. | Now that I spent an entire day just executing, I could spend some time writing goals and getting things outlined in Google Calendar- good planning. |
One thing I haven’t done well is plan and then communicate. THEN execute. | I could plan really well, THEN communicate my plan, getting feedback from others, then make any changes necessary. Then plan some more and then start executing, giving feedback as we go. Also decentralized command in order to spread accountability and buy-in. |
I have not been delegating. | I delegated some file work to a para, I will see how it goes tomorrow. Be patient and thankful! |
I have not been planning and then communicating at all for health, now the other class has had 3 guest speakers and I have had none. Have my resentments been contributing to me falling behind? | I’ve been resistant to change and annoyed, I didn’t plan or communicate. Now I’m not doing a good job and people are annoyed, I am not doing a good job. Maybe that’s a little too judgemental. I am looking for authenticity, and have also been extremely focused on caseload work. Now that caseload work it getting dialed in, I’d like to focus in on doing easy to access, rigorous learning activities that the kids enjoy and actually make a difference in their lives. |
A person tried to use my communication to throw another person “under the bus”. | I didn’t really consider the possible ways that my actions with the communication could have gone. Maybe a better policy for me is to paraphrase everything in order to keep my side of the street clean. This will be easier to achieve if ALL of my projects are dialed in, I am delegating, my expectations are communicated, and I am humble. |
Mistake in coaching for a kid | I admitted it, he didn’t care, we moved on. |
Review: Looking back over this section makes me realize that Planning and Communicating are very important for me to focus on. I have full control over those two things, and that is my responsibility. I have full control over my responsibilities. Planning (forethought) and Communicating (asking questions and giving my perspective).
Mental: By Feb. 8, I will do a daily Action Plan and continue to keep up with my Reminders/Calendar/Notes processes.
S | Typing this note to keep on top of my best thinking. I can only do what I can do, so if I stay top level, I will not lose sight of things. Utilize ClickUp, Reminders, Calendar, Notes, Email. |
M | I kind of powered through without an action plan. Not sure if this is the best. My action plan is kind of laid out in my Reminders. I will work today on getting it all under my watchful eye. I can be vicious on my paperwork. |
T | Rocking through this day! I got 3 IEP’s affirmed, ready to do all the paperwork to get them filed away completely. Now I also see how to use the Reminders effectively as I go through the day. I’m feeling this is manageable even as I am super busy. More execution means more mental space to be creative. |
W | Got one- but just the beginnings. Going to be a busy day, but sit back and execute with peace of mind that I’m doing my best. But do your best. I did my best, I want to never be late on paperwork again. I hope I have learned my lesson!! |
Th | It’s getting much better. I really should screenshot record and document my process. |
F | It is getting better in that most of the ongoing things are captured in Reminders, but I am still overloading what I have to do at any given time. I am praying daily for peace of mind to see daily what the next step is. One foot in front of the other, moment by moment. |
S | I didn’t have one today at JV league finals. |
Review: I will continue this goal using the Reminders app as my focus. This allows me to indicate the next step, plus what I am waiting on, which allows me to have freed up mental space so I don’t have to try to remember every step of every “project”. It is my outside brain, and if I use it consistently, I will be able to handle more responsibility in the areas I want responsibility for. I did have thoughts of correlating the Eisenhower Matrix to the Priority flags, which might be able to help me gain clarity on my priorities, which would heavily influence my communications.
To Sum up at this point:
Comprehensive Perspective, De-Centralized Command, Thorough Communication, Delegation with Accountability (Data Tracking)
Emotional: By Feb. 8, I will recognize and record my emotions as I feel necessary.
S | Overwhelmed most of the day- Until I remembered that I can just show up, ready and willing, and ask to be shown what to do next. |
M | Hopeful most of the day, sad and hurt when I got the feedback of the students. They were talking about me when they said bad teachers who don’t teach us anything and make us learn on our own. I am really bummed about that and feel defensive. I have to recognize that is how they feel, and move on from there, just doing the next indicated step. It’s true I haven’t put as much effort into teaching them as I would like to, so I guess some of those feelings are due to guilt. I am feeling resentful and embarrassed that I am so far behind on this particular document, and that it leaves others with little time to respond thoughtfully. I am now feeling insecure about my abilities to do this job. It is very uncomfortable to feel so inadequate. I want a clear path of what to do. |
T | Embarrassed, but determined. I worked hard on execution today, I am proud of that, but if I think about it, I have been praying for God to show me how to be what God wants me to be. I was given gifts that I should maximize the use of, and I am thankful that God is working through me to do more than I could just do on my own. God has been my strength today. |
W | Worried that my lack of communication will continue to come back and show my mistakes. Own my part. End of day- so far I have been getting praise for doing my part with organizing meetings and also helping people get their work done. |
Th | I was feeling very calm most of the day, but I did get down on myself when I heard that Monroe was having 3 guest speakers this week. I really need to reach out to others for help in order to make my class better for the students. |
F | Embarrassed and ashamed, partly defensive, also annoyed about the communication error. I would like to have peace of mind to think more clearly. Maybe I expected too much from someone without taking the proper steps for accountability and support. |
S | I felt mostly proud and excited to take the JV team to finals. It was a lot of fun. |
Review: I like the idea of being in touch with my emotions, as an indicator of my perception of things. Again, Comprehensive Perception.
Spiritual: By Feb. 8, I will meditate for 12 minutes in the AM, and the PM.
AM | PM | |
S | 👎 | 👎 |
M | 👍 | 👎 |
T | 👎 | 👎 |
W | 👎 | 👍 |
Th | 👎 | 👎 |
F | 👎 | 👎 |
S | 👍 | 👎 |
Review: If anything will inform my perception of things, especially to increase my capacity for Comprehensive Perception, it is this one. 3/14 at this time, that turns out to be 20%. This makes me think of the Pareto Principle. I have been spending 80% of my time trying to figure out a more comprehensive view of things, when all I really need to do is follow through on this meditation goal, and my Comprehensive Perception would be 80% complete.
Environmental: By Feb. 8, I will be mindful of putting my things away and cleaning up my spaces of things not needed anymore.
Cleaned up at home | Cleaned up at work |
Did the dishes. | Took home a box of papers, but will probably just bring it back in to class tomorrow. |
Monday | Cleaned up digital communications by actually communicating. Physical world becomes incorporated into these efforts today. |
Tuesday | Lots of file organization today. More focus now on planning and delegation. Decentralized Command. |
Wednesday | Cleaned up 4 blue files, part of delegation. Would like to start on all of the other papers behind my desk as I continue my cleaning up. |
Thursday | I delegated and kept up with my attendance and putting files away. Also created the 18 files I needed for period 2. |
Friday | Yes, making progress. Filed my newly acquired papers into my drawer of files. |
Saturday | No file work |
Review: I brought home papers to go through, but this goal will not need to really continue if I can develop the habit of communicating, which will inform my thoughts as to what comes next. I guess technically, I am delegating information gathering as I communicate my questions to others. So if I can think well, keeping my mind on the big picture, and then capture my thoughts and questions about things, communicate those things to others, my physical world will simplify because I won’t have scattered thoughts all over the place- including books, items, etc.
Social: By Feb. 8, I will try to make small talk with people, and just enjoy it for what it’s worth- a light conversation starter, not needing to bring my anxiety to each interaction.
S | Morning- pretty good with Christian and his co-worker Terrance. Later not really- was fairly awkward again at the Super Bowl party. |
M | Not really. Lots of emails today. |
T | Fun stuff with Hansen. And Laurie. |
W | Not much today, mostly trying to encourage people to work. |
Th | Didn’t really make small talk today. |
F | Just a bit, but awkwardly talked about myself. |
S | A little with other coaches. Not much though. With the kids yes. Awkwardly though, to where they must pick up on my insecurities with my dad jokes and self-conscious laughter. It’s like I need to have a job or roll to be a part of things. I just don’t truly feel accepted, but it’s through my own focus on my expectations of my own feelings that I feel and think this way. Page 420 of the Big Book says “I must keep my magic magnifying mind on my acceptance and off my expectations, for my level of serenity is directly proportional to my level of acceptance.” |
