I’ve mentioned in the last couple of blogs (and quite a bit recently in general) about using a resource such as we have at www.myrise.co.uk/time to help us look at how we currently assign our time.
And I often talk about tracking our food with apps like MyFitnessPal to see get clarity on how much we’re consuming.
And, in both cases, to help us identify changes we can make.
In countless conversations about both of these, people have essentially told me some variation of “I’ll do it in my head”.
And a couple of years ago, my coach told me a phrase that’s really stuck with me.
“Doing it in your head is code for ‘uncommitted as f*ck'”
It’s saying “I intend to put the same amount of time and effort into this as the last however many times I tried it. Which didn’t work long term”.
It’s rookie.
Amateur.
It’s expecting Champions League results on Sunday League prep.
Worse – it’s expecting Conference results with zero prep.
I get it, you know?
Tracking our time and tracking our food is a pain in the @rse.
I find the same when I do it.
We all do.
But they are the highest return ‘pain in the @rse activities’ that we can do.
And, sometimes, as adults, we need to do things that are a (not as much as we’re telling ourselves) pain in the @rse for the benefits they bring.
Much love,

P.S. I know things like trying out our programme can feel like a ‘pain in the @arse’. Again, I get that. But it’s still worth it and will change your life —> www.myrise.co.uk/apply
