• Episode 4: Crafting a Routine That Works
    Jul 17 2024
    Welcome to this 4th episode of "Strive For 5"!

    In this episode, I delve into the most crucial aspect of a good routine: a routine that truly works for you. If you want a routine that is going to work for you it's time to forget the cookie-cutter advice from social media and the "ideal" routines that dictate your wake up time, and what you "should" be doing with each day. Instead, we explores how to create a routine tailored to your unique lifestyle, preferences, and goals.

    In this episode we discuss:

    • The importance of a personal routine over generic advice
    • Your unique needs
    • Understanding your goals
    • Habit stacking, time blocking, and setting realistic targets
    • The power of reflection and adjustment
    • Tools and resources to help you along the way
    Tune in to discover how to build a routine that fits seamlessly into your life, helps you feel accomplished, and aligns with your personal goals. Say goodbye to the pressure of "doing more" by being someone else.

  • Episode 3 - Your Routine Is Too Long!
    Jul 10 2024

    In this episode of Strive For 5, we dive into why your morning routine is too long. How elaborate morning routines not only take up too much of your valuable time but also make it much harder to make them last.

    From the pressure to meditate, journal, exercise, and prepare a gourmet breakfast all before 8 AM, many of us find our mornings overloaded with tasks that leave us feeling more stressed than set up for success.

    We touch on why you need to keep your morning routine short, how you can measure what is or is not realistic for you, and "the five second rule".

    I hope you this one gives you something to think about and some tools to take with you over the next week.

  • Episode 1 - Introduction to "Strive For 5"
    Jul 4 2024

    One of the easiest things we do as humans is to be unhappy with where we are in the present, without acknowledging how far we’ve come.

    Whatever your goal, with every step forward we easily lose sight of where we started, which then makes it easy to spiral backwards.

    From my experience, this is where routine acts as a stop point in spiralling backwards.

    “Strive For 5” embodies the idea that small, consistent efforts can lead to significant achievements, making meaningful progress and maintain balance in our busy lives.

    It is a simple approach based on the concept of building a 5 step routine that by the time you get to the 5th part of your routine, your day is already in motion, set up ready to give the day the best opportunity for success.

    I hope you enjoy this first episode (however you found it!)
