Youth Ministry Round Up #213

Greetings Awesome Person,

At the beginning of the year I designated each day of the week (M-F) to focus on one thing because Practical PKM suggested it would change how I work. So, here's how I allotted my days,

Monday is Writing Day where I blog or post on social

Tuesday is Audio Day when I record my podcast

Wednesday is Grow Day where I dive deep into something (book, topic, etc.)

Thursday is Video Day where I record video for my Youtube channel

Friday is Fun Day where I go to the movies, go out to eat at a favorite

I call this stacking my week or stacking the deck, as in gambling, where I prepare the outcome before I ever draw a card.

This isn't legalism, it doesn't mean that I don't record video on a Tuesday if I have to or do something fun on a Monday because I can.

My goal, as practical PKM says,

When you plan your perfect week, you’re identifying what modes you’ll be in.

By assigning days and times to certain modes, I am planning MY perfect week because my schedule builds from one day to another making the next day easier and increases my chances of being the most productive I can be.

If you want to see a sample perfect week to get you started I have extended this idea into a full post.

How do you stack your week to give you the best possible outcomes? Hit me back and let me know.

Paul
