If an ideal week isn’t working for you
It’s easy to call it quits on the ideal week.
You write down everything that you want to happen in a week and plan it all out only for your ideal week to never happen.
I get it. I’ve been there. But I’ve learned that ideal week isn’t a rule to follow but more like a guide. You set the course and decent where to go and the idea week is like map inspo.
Don’t give up on the ideal week!
It’s not going to be perfect each week so a lot of people give up on it before they can see the benefits.
Writing down an ideal week won’t solve all of your problems but it can show you:
1. Gaps in your planning
As you go through your week and can’t make certain things happen in your ideal week, you’ll be able to see why.
There might be road blocks in your calendar keeping you from reaching certain goals.
We want to address those asap.

2. Where you have habits in your scheduling that don’t line up with your ideal week
There are real commitments in real things that you have to show up for each week. Some things are not possible to move and so we adjust our mindset with the ideal week.
But some things are movable and changeable.
If we can change those things so that we can get you closer to your ideal week, then we should.
What habits are currently in place that might be working against where you want to go?

3. How you can adjust expectations to where you’re at right now
Sometimes what you want is simply not possible. That could be a really hard reality to face, but sometimes life circumstances don’t allow for specific changes.
It doesn’t mean those things can never change and it doesn’t mean that we can’t work toward an ideal week that has what you want.
But accepting an embracing where you’re currently at, will help you to create a path forward that is more realistic.
