Pull Off The Perfect Week

Freedom Fridays are special to me because it’s a scheduled time to do whatever comes up.

It’s a day that you can choose to finish up your work from the planned week you had; ahem, you ARE planning your weeks right?

Or, you could decide that today is not a work day at all – it’s a day you look back and ‘celebrate the small wins’ of completing (or at least attempting) your weekly tasks.

In other words…however you feel on Freedom Friday is how you roll.

Sometimes, I call this my ‘chaos’ day, because there’s really no rhythm to what I”m doing.

I bounce around from this to that.

I get interrupted when the phone rings….and heck, I answer it.

Most entrepreneurs operate in this “chaos” reaction mode all week and it doesn’t feel like “freedom” to them E V E R.

So why do I call it Freedom?

Well, if you’re proactively building your business, you should NOT be ‘reacting’ to anything at all. You ‘schedule’ time to do things.

Check your email.
Answer the phone.
Bounce from this to that.
And so on.

Again, this is how most entrepreneurs work e v e r y d a y. I know it because I was one of ’em. And it’s still in my blood.

So Freedom Friday is kinda like my ‘fix’.

Subconsciously, my brain knows that as long as it concentrates and focuses on tasks in the first four days of the week, it gets a break to do what IT naturally wants to:

Get distracted ! (hey , is that a squirrel???)

It want’s to check out things – it’s curious.

Sounds crazy right? Don’t knock it until you try it.

In fact, now that I’ve ‘trained’ myself to do this ritual each week, I’ve managed to train myself to do ‘focus’ sessions EVERY DAY with mind breaks in between.
