What to do when you fall OFF track – #AskEvan


what do you do when you fall off track
I’m going to answer that question in
today’s episode of ask Evan sorry mr.
got us a question for one of my loyal
YouTube viewers and tgim mastermind
members psyched to go who asked could
you talk about how to overcome feelings
of edginess or dread like for example
days when you don’t have enough sleep or
you wake up past your intended time and
don’t get to do your morning routine
anymore when you are worrying about
something outside your work I really
like the mindset stuff this is a
fantastic question and I think this
really depends on your personality i
know for me when I miss my morning
routine I have a high likelihood of my
whole day blowing up on me and so I’m
going to share with you the three things
that I do that hopefully can help you
with your process number one is try to
do something valuable this is probably
the hardest thing for me but if I’ve
missed my morning routine or get
interrupted a lot you know I get that’s
why I don’t have phone calls anymore
because they don’t people interrupting
me in my day I still try to get back on
track and try to get back into a
schedule where I can provide some value
for that day this makes it really easy
when I’ve committed to somebody else so
for example on Wednesday I do all my
videos I’ve got Jason here coming to see
me and so I have to do videos on
Wednesday you know if I miss my water
routine Jason still coming at noon I
still got the videos up I know you guys
are expecting them and so does that
external pressure to keep going on
thursdays i have my meetings and
interviews coffee appointments phone
calls and all of those again i’m not
going to miss because i’ve committed to
somebody else so when I’ve committed to
somebody else I’m much more likely to
get back on track where if I haven’t
committed to somebody else and I don’t
have anything to like pressuring me
right away I find a lot harder honestly
to get back on schedule and so my my
trick I guess is in that case try not to
fall off schedule in the first place
because I know how important my schedule
is for me personally I try to keep to it
as much as possible and try to design a
life where I don’t have interruptions I
try to run what I call a no crisis
business because I hate being
reactionary
I hate playing defense and just reacting
the people’s problems instead I like
being proactive in attacking the new
challenges are that are ahead of me and
I’m planning my schedule out as I want
it to be instead of being instead of
reacting to what other people want me to
do number two is explore something new
what I find is that if my day has blown
up on me and I just can’t get back on
track and I haven’t committed anybody
else for the day instead of just playing
league of legends all day I’ll try to
just try something new I’ll try to break
out take on a project I haven’t tried
before look at my list of ideas and try
to tackle those just try to get in that
space to to get me out of thinking that
the whole day is gone I find this is me
personally that if I try to get back on
track with a day that I’ve known is
already kind of falling sideways then
I’m not committed to those projects as
much where instead I try something new
and totally different I get energized
again I have passion again I can attack
it with with new eyes and i’m ready to
go and do it so if my day goes and blows
up on me then I try to go and find
something new to work on that still adds
value but maybe wasn’t what I already
scheduled for the day and number three
is start on time tomorrow and that may
seem really basic but if you threw away
your day you woke up late you missed
some appointments you didn’t get the
work done that you needed you goofed off
and went rip sticking all day or
whatever it was and you feel like crap
at the end of the day thinking man I
didn’t get anything done today because
you missed your morning start then start
on time tomorrow right get a good
night’s sleep set that alarm you wake up
and whatever the first thing is that you
do for me it’s a gratitude exercise that
I go through whatever that first thing
is that you do start with that right
away as soon as you wake up and get your
day off to a good start the next day
around so those are my tips and again
it’s highly personalized to me because
the schedule is so important for me to
be a happy and successful person I know
a lot of people are way more flexible
than I am and so again I encourage you
to design a life and a lifestyle that
fits who you are and allows you to
leverage your strengths so I’d love to
know from you
ooh what do you do when you fall off
track when your day explodes on you you
wake up late whatever reason your day
isn’t going as you would plan how do you
handle it I’d love to hear from you in
