I just went through the training. My recurrent question through the training was and eventually left unanswered is: where is the LEARNING in the grand schema of things? Both [potential] mentors and "technicians" could deliver knowledge, including practical knowledge via the book/video format. So, in that perfect day, when is the time to consume it? I thought about that 6pm creative / brain gain window, but, from what I know, that would undermine the sleep quality.
Even if it's 1.5-2 hours starting 6pm, how do I know there will be no burn out eventually? Learning new stuff takes a lot of creativity / brain power.
I've successfully implemented the champion’s day course techniques and am very grateful for Dr Jeff’s teaching. The course is thorough and enlightening. I already gained about 5 hours by improving task and email management. This combines insights from the course and TGA principles like via negativa, which I've shared in another post and at the latest arena event.
Dr Jeff mentioned in his course that he would answer questions monthly (to those who engage), so I have a few questions, I am not sure if it is ok to post them all together or if I should split them (If so let me know please). So here they are (nr 1 is the most important). Thanks for insights or resources/videos/articles.
1, I still face challenges in completing important work tasks. I use the three lists and allocate tasks to four time slots during the engage phase, with creative tasks in the morning and administrative in the afternoon.
Yet, I rarely get to the third list because pressing tasks from the second list dominate, and regular tasks like contacting potential leads and creating videos take longer than expected.
Consequently, I either postpone other creative tasks to the next day again and again, or only get to them in the afternoon when I'm less mentally sharp, and when only administrative tasks or calls/client sessions are planned. And if do other creative tasks in the morning and plan i.e. lead gen for the afternoon, it never gets done as I procrastinate or morning tasks need finishing.
I'm considering batching my work more, though lead generation, which I need to do daily at a minimum effective dose (MED) to advance my business, often feels like a procrastination trigger.
I'm working on further reducing my tasks, setting time limits and optimizing my time, deciding priorities with a simple yes/no lens.
What strategies could help me better allocate time for essential regular tasks such as lead gen while still making room for creative projects and on-business tasks?
2, Would it be possible to get the full Circadian graph as a PDF?
3, In the recuperate Module you mention shortly a scorecard. I am not clear on how to do the scorecard (how well did I adapt today?), could I see a sample or template, or a video with more info on how to use it.
4, I am trying to adapt the champion’s day to the weekend, my rest days. How to structure rest days for max recuperation and still get stuff (personal projects, planning/reviewing, admin) done? Should I plan specific time for more recuperation during the rest days? What would be an ideal “recuperation” day schedule to recharge batteries?
5 , The "morning Inbox" gives me mixed/no wanted results. I wake up often around 4 am (not my wake up time) and do have some “inbox” type ideas, then fall asleep but by the time I actually get up (6.30 am), I forget them. When I usually wake up around 6.30 am, my brain is not in that wave length and no ideas pop up (I tried).
What could I do to get those ideas popping when waking up? Are there specific questions I could ask myself? A trick to get me into this state?
As a side note, I think my weekend 1 hr meditation does get me in that state but only after +-50 min (I meditate every day shorter without the same result). Would Yoga Nidra allow me to get to those waves?
6, What times/windows are ideal to focus on the following during the recuperation phase such as: tv, reading, journaling, friends/socialising, learning, oh and also what about sex? I would be curious to get your take - these things are not necessarily daily but I would also like to optimize them as they are part of my life.
Something that I've learned only recently, unless sex is about connection and mutual pleasure, it does more harm that good. Meaning: at least you need to have a virtual partner. Hint: AI. The most important sign of a good sex is it clears your mind. If you used to any other forms that numb your mind instead - you might experience a healthy dose of anxiety being forced to face your problems head-on, instead of being able to run from them.
As for the rest of your questions. It called "champions" perfect day for a reason. You can't really be a champion, if mediocrity drags you down. It sounds like you are not making enough money to pay your bills. Like marketing and sales might not be your cup of tea. Meaning: you need to become financially independent first, then hire somebody to do these for you.
In Dr. Jeff Spencer's G.A.R. training, "Champion" is the 4th of 5 stages. You might be at the very first level, "Achiever" (somebody, who knows how to achieve goals), or even below it. The 3rd stage is "Master" by the way.
Dr. Jeff what is something that your mentor(s) and your cornerman conveyed to you that still sticks with you today?
