We aren’t always a 10
But we can add up to it!
I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about “walking the walk” lately. Not the old-school philosophy of my dad. “Do as I say, not as I do”. I was listening to Hubermans Lab podcast and something struck me in his conversation with Dr. Galpin.
I originally had The 33 Rule in my business.The 33 Rule is fundamentally taking the three components of your life; wellness/exercise, work/professional life, and personal life, and assessing a daily percentage of usage. If you are in a tough personal situation, your personal life would dominate the division of percentages greatly. It would look like this. 65% Personal/ 20% work/ 15% health and wellness.
I have adjusted this philosophy more in line with my coaching core beliefs. I want you to take 10 points, at the end of the day, and put them in 4 baskets. The challenge? You can’t do half points. It has to be a full point and equal 10 total points.
Personal life (Marriage, relationships, kids, friendships).
Professional life (Work, entrepreneurship, etc).
Exercise and wellness.
Recovery.
I fundamentally assumed that recovery would be a part of The 33 Rule, but it wasn’t. Here’s my example: ONLY for Monday, February 20th, 2023. Please note that point VALUE is NOT a 1-10 scale on what it means to you. It’s simply how much of your day each bucket required.
Personal life: 4 points (Good and or bad, how much attention was paid to this)
Professional life: 3 points (Growing back to pre covid days but time demands are UP!)
Exercise and wellness. 1 (Just a walk vs 2-3 exercise sessions today)
Recovery: 2 (Only going for a walk. I felt tired. Very tired today)
That was so hard to do! I wanted more in a particular bucket versus the other. I wanted to do a half-point. I second-guessed. I fudged. However, if I’m being objective… these assigned point values, for yesterday, were pretty much spot on.
I’m going to challenge you to do this point system daily. I will also challenge you to ask your significant others and family members to do one for you too. You will be intrigued by your results versus what they see.
