Episode notes
Use PART and SELF To Cover Every Life Area
- Use a framework to cover all life domains so you don't forget important areas like parenting, household, self-care, and fun.
- Adelaide uses PART (Provide, Arrange, Relate, Teach) and SELF (Sleep, Exercise, Love, Fun) and sets one goal per category with nested plans.
Scale Goals With Good Better Best Targets
- Set tiered targets (good, better, best) for goals to allow progress recognition without all-or-nothing thinking.
- Adelaide defines percent-of-weeks thresholds for each tier (e.g., 60%, 75%, 90%) for two strength sessions/week.
Save Nonurgent Ideas And Tackle Them On A Dedicated Day
- File low-priority captures and revisit them later rather than trying to act on everything immediately.
- Nichelle suggests saving screenshots/emails and doing a dedicated day off with childcare to tackle important-not-urgent items.
