4/18/2019

Resourcing – Human Resources/People, Materials, Budget
Processes
Practices - coming together for meetings which have been made more efficient with the 8 Meeting Questions
Alignment

#TEAMS365 #1930 – Weekly Journaling Prompt 45

4/13/2019

This week’s Weekly Journaling Prompt gets you to consider the question “The biggest distractions right now are…”

Udemy In Depth undertook a study entitled the 2018 Workplace Distraction Survey. You can read it here.

Distractions abound in today’s world – from digital distractions to other. What distractions are you noticing?

Distractions can take their toll on many levels – on our focus, on our stress levels, or our ability to get things done we want. What is the impact of the distractions you are seeing?

Part of stress reduction and productivity is feeling in charge of, or being able to influence, our distractions. What steps can you take to reduce or minimize some of the distractions right now?

Enjoy your journaling,
Jennifer

#TEAMS365 #1923 Weekly Journaling Prompt 44

4/6/2019

Welcome back to our forty-fourth Weekly Journaling Prompt. I hope that you have been enjoying these quick prompts as part of your regular journaling practice.

Today’s prompt is “Things I Am Happy About….”

In my late teens and early twenties, I was fortunate enough to spend the bulk of my summers working in the beauty of Algonquin Park, about 3 hours north of Toronto, at a summer camp. When I wasn’t on the swim dock where I spent several summers leading a team, or with campers, I was hanging out with an amazing group of young women. In those days we had no access to TV, internet or a phone (yes, it was the late 80s and early 90s!). Evening entertainment came in the form of journaling, music and hanging out.

One book which was very popular in those days was a good book called “14,000 things to be happy about.” I remember how one summer it inspired a majority of the staff to start their own happy journals. This was something I carried around the world with me for years and still have on my bookshelf…..Take a look closely at today’s graphic -that’s my happy book! Once in a while (i.e. once or twice a year) I take a look back at it and am amazed how short sentences can bring forward an amazing flood of memories.

What would you add to your happy book?

Enjoy!
Jennifer

#TEAMS365 #1917: Month End and Q2 Review and Reflection

3/31/2019

It is the end of another month, and also a quarter. What are the key things you want to make sure you take note of, celebrate and review?

Here are several questions you will want to explore as you consider month and quarter end:

Reflecting on March and/ or the entire quarter:

What have been your successes this month?
What didn’t work? Why?
What are the changes you would make in the future to that?
What has been your biggest learning?
What habits have supported you?
What things have gotten in the way?
Where have you been getting your results?
What metrics do you want to note?

Looking ahead to the next quarter or the next month:

What are the things you need to prioritize gong forward – next month? Next quarter?
What do you need to say "no" to?
What resources are going to help you be successful?
What relationships are critical for success?
What do you want to make sure you are communicating? To whom?
What do you want to make sure you schedule time in for?
Thinking about your metrics, what are the things that you want to track on a regular basis. What are the goals you hope to achieve or hit around these in the next period?

Last week I enjoyed leading a session using a new Quarterly Review form. I made this supplementary form available to those who receive my PlanDoTrack newsletter. If you'd like to become a subscriber and receive this monthly newsletter related to planning, and virtual team issues, please sign up here.

I hope that you will find some time today to celebrate your learning and achievements for q1. Please pass this link on to others who could benefit from some reflection and planning time.

Enjoy your reflections,
Jennifer

#TEAMS365 #1916 – Weekly Journaling Prompt 43

3/30/2019

It’s time for another Saturday Weekly Journaling prompt, this one number 43 in the series. This week’s weekly journaling prompt is “One thing to automate is….”.

Scaling business is a primary goal of many solopreneurs and others. As part of scaling work and business, it may be useful to look at those tasks that are repetitive and done consistently. What are the things you can automate? What are the things you can systematize?

If you were to automate something, what would it provide time for?

Best wishes,
Jennifer

#TEAMS365 #1909 – Weekly Journaling Prompt #42

3/23/2019

This week’s weekly journaling prompt gets you to think about the question: “I need…..”. What are the things you need right now to:

Prioritize?
Spend time doing what you love?
Focus on the things that are important?
Get ahead of the curve?
Other….?

We don’t always think about what we need, nor make the requests to make it happen.

What are the things you need right now?

If you haven’t done so already, be sure to check out the reflective questions for spring, published yesterday here at the blog. Check out Teams365 #1908.

Best,
Jennifer

#TEAMS365 #1908 – First Day of Spring – Quarterly Stock Taking

3/22/2019

Happy spring! Has the new season sprung where you are?

In my work as a coach I see a lot of seasonality – beginnings, ends and excitement for change. As we step into the new season today, I wanted to share some of the spring questions I had posted in Teams365 #811.

I hope that you will take a few minutes to reflect on these questions today:

What are your goals this season?
What new habits and practices do you want to put into place?
What relationships do you want to put attention around?
What else is significant for you this spring (or fall)?

Looking backwards:
What successes did you have over the last quarter?
What helped you?
What got in the way?

What changes do you want to make this spring?
What and who will help you be successful?

What are the other questions which are important to consider right now?

Enjoy your reflection,
Jennifer
