A system, a plan, and accountability = results!
As they say, a poor plan beats no plan every time!
Thursday was crazy busy, but awesome! I would have been easily overwhelmed but lucky for me, Google Calendar gives me a system and helps me stay accountable and stick to the plan.
So, my day started at 4:45 AM. Google Calendar, which I set up on Sunday, reminded me last night when I needed to leave the house and gave me directions to where I needed to go. Probably saved me 15-20 minutes trying to do this on the fly. I drove to a client’s home and trained him and his girlfriend. The best part is that the girlfriend set up the time for the training session and didn’t tell the boyfriend until late Wednesday night, that way he couldn’t get out of it : ). Great accountability, it’s always better to train with a friend, they help push you and make sure you show up. Who can you ask to help you out with your fitness goals?
From there I went to train my awesome students at The North Carolina Leadership Academy. They killed it as usual. I had already uploaded their training session into Google calendar so all I had to do was look up what I had previously planned on Sunday afternoon. This allowed me to save another 20-30 minutes, plus it assures that I am not just making up some random “workout” to pass the time. It’s easy to make people tired and sore, it is a whole nother thing to make a well thought out systematic workout plan.
After class, I ran to train another client and her friend. Once again Google Calendar, told me what to do and where to go. Once again, group accountability helped all the parties involved.
I then rushed home, because a super awesome client gave me tickets to the Carolina Hurricanes vs. NY Ranger Hockey game and these tickets aren’t just to watch Hockey…They are in the Championship lounge! Which means access to three buffets, One is meat themed, hello prime rib, another is Italian themed, and the third one has desserts, not to mention a bar for “spirited” drinks if that is your thing…my wife is super excited, as am I! Lucky for me Google Calendar will lead the way! I have been cutting calories, about 5,000 over the last 3 days, so I can consume some extra delights.
We got home around 12:30 AM Friday night…long day. Plus, I train another client today, at 6:00 AM.
Regardless, because I had a system and a plan I accomplished my tasks and got closer to my goals.
You can do the samething! Google Calendar is free, you just have to input your data. Just like training, you need a system, a plan, and accountability. I am full at the moment, but once the doors of my new Personal Training Studio open I will be accepting new clients. If you are interested in a system, a plan, and accountability message me and I will put you on the list…probably even give you a discount for taking action (hint – get a free training session) : )
Takeaways:
A system makes it so you don’t have to think, you just do!
A plan makes it so you know why you are following the system!
Accountability makes it so you can’t quit!
Now go and be awesome!
