Routines and what not

My decision to join this year's I Ho Chuan team wasn't a simple one.  I have struggled in the past with some of the commitments.  Whether Blogging or my numbers, I start off strong, but fall off the wagon or loose momentum. I (like most people I'd suspect) find it difficult to keep all my plates  spinning all the time. Multitasking between work, home, my Kung Fu, the kids Kung Fu and all the other extra curricular activities proves to be a challenge at times.  With recent changes to our family(acquiring two more fabulous teenage boys), we have committed to keeping a few more plates spinning.  Taking on the I Ho Chuan requirements and team commitments seemed even more daunting than before.  Something that works for me is developing and maintaining daily, weekly and monthly routines.  The downside to being reliant on routines is when something changes or a routine is disrupted, I am usually dead in the water.  Good habits are lost or forgotten and I usually go into survival mode.  The key, which I havent been good at in the past, is re-establishing routines as soon as possible.  This will be something I'll need to focus on this year.

Thanks for reading.

Mike

  1. Remember you are building habits and they take time. Everyday will get a little easier if you just stick to it.
