Anyone that’s read these blogs for any period of time will know that there’s a couple of things that I recommend.
Tracking our food for a few days to help us make changes to our eating.
And tracking our usage of time for a few days to help us tactically reassign how we use some of that.
These aren’t the only ways that we can make changes to our eating and time usage of course.
But, from my experience, they are by far the most effective and precise.
Anything without detail is just guesswork.
Educated guesswork, sure.
But guesswork nonetheless.
And ultimately any attempt to change our eating and usage of time that is just the same approach that we’ve tried before……..
Is likely destined to produce the same results as before.
Which is fine.
Until it isn’t.
Only in the last few days I’ve had several conversations where people have told me how absolutely miserable they are.
How their body and energy levels are so far from where they’d like them to be.
And how they feel overwhelmed and run ragged.
I’ve had people practically in tears.
And this has happened probably in the thousands of times over the years.
As a good coach, which I like think I am, I treat each of these conversations individually.
But in several of them, my main recommendation has been to get a clear definition of where they’re currently assigning their calories and / or time.
Because I know how powerful a starting point that is for helping make some changes to that.
And I get it’s a ‘bit of a pain in the @rse’.
But I also get that, in reality, it takes a handful of minutes a day to do.
Using MyFitnessPal or a similar app for the food.
Or following the systems described at www.myrise.co.uk/time for our time.
And, as always happens, some people I recommend this to then do it.
And benefit from it hugely.
And make big changes to those things that they were just telling me were important to them.
And some don’t.
Essentially saying, as it says in the blog title, “I want to change how I use it but I’m completely unwilling to look at how I use it”.
“I know I’ve said how important this is to me and I was practically in tears over it but I’m not willing to spend several minutes a day trying to fix it”.
Again, I get it.
That’s not really our thought process.
But whatever our thought process is it amounts to that.
And surely that makes it worth questioning?
A handful of minutes a day of mild discomfort to reduce the other (usually greater) discomfort(s).
It’s pretty much as simple as that.
Much love,
Jon ‘or lose it’ Hall
