teams 365 #3438: Weekly Journaling Prompt: Adaptive Leadership

6/3/2023

This week we return with another Weekly Journaling Prompt – check out those before this one. With this week’s focus on Adaptive Leadership I thought it would be valuable to take a look at these journaling prompts:

What is important about Adaptive Leadership for me?

What can I do to lead more from an adaptive stance?

What is important about change in my world right now – personally? Professionally?

What’s important to note about experimentation and curiosity?

What else do I want to note?

Enjoy the reflection!

teams 365 #3424: Weekly Journaling Prompt – What can be made simpler

5/20/2023

This week’s Weekly Journaling Prompt gets you to think about what can be made simpler. In a complex world, simplicity is key. Here are four quotes to get you to think about simplicity.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." - Leonardo da Vinci

"Our life is frittered away by detail... simplify, simplify." - Henry David Thoreau

"Simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance." - Coco Chanel

"Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious and adding the meaningful." - John Maeda

Enjoy your weekend!

teams 365 #3396: Weekly Journaling Prompt – What’s stopping you?

4/22/2023

Last weekend here in the Toronto area was like summer – 26 degrees Celsius (over 80F), and was a sneak peak for summer, which is still a couple of months away. In true Canadian fashion, we are due to have some snow flurries later this week.

Regardless, the weekend got me thinking about making the most of the better weather before fall rolls around, and it got me thinking about tackling a different outdoor project each day for 15 minutes, whether I’m here at the house, up at the cottage or lakeside at the condo. I know that I definitely have more than a 100 days of work (at the cottage alone—which I wound up opening solo on the weekend given that the strong arms of the family were busy and encouraged me to wait a few more weeks. So glad I opted to do it myself - - a stunning weekend and a great headstart on projects which are ranging this year from roofing, to painting to rebuilding the exterior of the shed my dad and I built together during one of my breaks back to Canada in 2000 (our millennial project which is now showing some wear 23 years later, but nothing a little bit of new plywood won’t solve!).

So with the energy of last weekend behind me, I hope that you will enjoy journaling on the questions”What’s stopping you?”.
Hope you have fun with it!

teams 365 #3382: Weekly Journaling Prompt: What will wild success look like for you?

4/8/2023

This week we focused on quarterly planning and a review of the quarter, as well as different ways to create connection in a hybrid workspace. This week we are exploring the following Weekly Journaling Prompt – What will wild success look like by the end of the quarter?

Last week I facilitated a one hour quarterly review for Q1 and quarterly planning session with our Coaching Biz Growth Lab coaches. It is always a powerful focus on creating a pause to explore what’s important for you. Each person shared how invaluable the process was for them to see just how far they had come with the consistent focus on taking action. Part of the philosophy of PlanDoTrack is to take consistent action on those things which are important to others.

This week’s Weekly Journaling Prompt is “What will wild success look like for you?”.

teams 365 #3368: Why Journaling Is Important

3/25/2023

For several years now I have included a number of Weekly Journaling Prompts. This week instead I am including a post on Why Journaling Is Important. Take a look at these reasons, according to Chat GPT:

Journaling is a powerful tool that can help you gain clarity, improve your mental health, and enhance your personal and professional growth. Here are some reasons why journaling is important:

Self-reflection: Journaling provides a space for you to reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It helps you process and make sense of your emotions and reactions, leading to greater self-awareness and self-understanding.
Stress management: Writing about your feelings and experiences can be a cathartic experience that helps you manage stress and anxiety. It allows you to release pent-up emotions and gain perspective on challenging situations.
Goal setting: Journaling can help you set and track your goals, whether they are personal or professional. By writing down your goals, you can create a roadmap for achieving them and hold yourself accountable for making progress.
Creativity: Journaling can be a creative outlet that allows you to express yourself freely. It can inspire you to explore new ideas, perspectives, and possibilities.
Memory retention: Writing about your experiences and memories helps you retain them better. Journaling allows you to document important events, people, and moments in your life, creating a tangible record of your personal history.
Healing: Journaling can be a healing practice that helps you process traumatic experiences, grief, and loss. It can provide a safe and supportive outlet for expressing difficult emotions and working through challenging situations.

In summary, journaling is a valuable tool that can help you cultivate greater self-awareness, manage stress, set and achieve goals, boost creativity, retain memories, and promote healing. Whether you are looking to improve your mental health, deepen your personal growth, or enhance your professional development, journaling can be an essential practice for achieving your goals.

teams 365 #3361: Weekly Journaling Prompt

3/18/2023

Saturday’s Weekly Journaling Prompt invites you to consider the question – What will get you outside of your comfort zone?

While the last few years may have felt like regular opportunities to get out of the comfort zone doing this on a regular basis can be important to build muscles around learning, growth and resilience.

Questions to consider with today’s Journaling Prompt are:
What is the comfort zone I am stretching right now?
What would take me outside of the comfort zone?
What’s important to note about what muscles I am building

teams 365 #3354: Weekly Journaling Prompt – What can you do to renew?

3/11/2023

This week is our March break and I just dropped my son off at the airport yesterday for his first solo trip with a youth group. I’m going to be taking the next week to renew and recharge, along with spending some quality time with my parents who will join me at the condo this week. It will be good to hear about their adventures in their new long-term care home.

Appropriately, today’s prompt is “what can you do to renew”. With burnout at an all-time high, what are you doing to keep your engines moving?

Enjoy the reflection!

teams 365 #3347: Weekly Journaling Prompt

3/4/2023

This week’s Weekly Journaling Prompt gets you to consider the question “What can you to simplify?”.

We are embarking at some streamlining on the home front these days. With my son getting ready to head off to university, and my parents finally in long-term care, it’s time to downsize in the next few months. We’ve all been spending time simplifying through de-cluttering, organizing and streamlining. It can be a weighty process at time, and essential to keep the end result in mind.

With that in mind, here’s this week’s Weekly journaling Prompt – What can you simplify?

Teams365 #3340: Weekly Journaling Prompt – What does saying NO look like?

2/25/2023

Welcome back to another weekly journaling prompt. This week we are exploring the question of WHAT Does NO look like?

Setting, and maintaining, boundaries is critical for success in today’s evolving workspace. Burnout has become a critical issue for many, especially for those of us who may be juggling multiple roles and hats.

I hope that you will enjoy this week’s question: What does NO look like?

Enjoy the reflection!
