This is one of those posts where I throw on my entrepreneur hat to help ya with some fitness problems. But, just know that this hack works for anything you do in your work, so if you wanna be more efficient and make more money, take a note.
Everything I’m about to tell you, I stole from a guy named, Dan Martell.
The Problem I’m Gonna Solve?
“I Don’t Have Enough Time For The Gym!”
My Solution I Have Always Given You:
Every Sunday we send out an email every Sunday and make an instagram post reminding you to schedule out 3 classes per week, put them in your calendar, and stick to them!!
Result:
Average Attendance of Vegvisir Athletes – 2.5x per week.
Woo!
But, you always hear me talk about getting small with goals. Well, I’ve got a small one and it’s to get that average to 3.5x per week.
More results, more happy people, more fit people, more quality time with families, and a more fulfilled life for me.
Win. Win.
So, since we aren’t at that goal, that means I have to do a better job at helping you find time.
My New Solution?
This podcast on Time Blocking that we recorded for you: TIME BLOCKING PODCAST
As well as this print break down of how to properly time block, so here goes:
Time Blocking is the act of giving everything in your day a spot on your calendar so…
Step 1: Break out your Apple or Google Calendar (I prefer Google because it links with Wodify).
Step 2: Write down literally everything you do in your day on a sheet of paper or in the notes app on your phone.
Step 3: Make 5 groups: A, B, C, D, and F. Put those tasks for your week and organize them A being most important (only you can do them and they have to be done this week), B (only you can do them but you’ve got a week or two to do this), C (maybe someone else can do it, but you’re best at it and there’s not a lot of urgency), D (something someone else could totally do and probably should), and F (something that AI should do or this shouldn’t even be on your plate. Assign colors for each in your app and move to the next step.
Step 4: Now populate your calendar for the week (I do this on Saturdays. If you’re a Personal Training client of mine, you know this). First put in the As (if you have a 9-5, you can still organize your day like this at work) if you have fitness as a priory it belongs here along with personal time! Then the Bs, Then the Cs. Try to offload the Ds and put them where they fit if you can’t. Then tell Chat-GPT or someone else to do these, or just don’t do them at all if there’s no deadline. Fs don’t belong on your calendar.
Step 5: Stick to that damn calendar and repeat next week.
I used this trick to grow our gym (I made a block for CEO time, 1 hour each day to grow the gym and write things like this for y’all) while still being famous in my home and continuing to grow as an athlete.
If ya need help implementing this, let me know and I will happily help you set up a schedule with a goal check-in (:
