The 5-Minute Weekly Reset
3 strategic questions to protect your energy, manage perfectionism, and prevent mid-week burnout.
1. What is ONE thing I can take off my plate this week?
Not everything on your to-do list is a true emergency. Choose one non-essential task and decide:
Delegate it to someone else
Push back the deadline by 1–2 weeks
Delete it or say "no" entirely
2. When am I intentionally resting?
If rest isn't scheduled like an unmissable appointment, work will naturally expand to fill every free hour. Block out 2 unmissable rest windows in your calendar this week for non-work recovery.
3. Where can I apply "Good Enough" instead of Perfection?
Reserve 100% of your energy for top-tier priorities. For routine or lower-stakes tasks, aim for 80% "good enough" so you don't exhaust your nervous system.
Your Weekly Commitment: "This week, my success is measured by how well I protect my peace and energy—not by running myself to exhaustion."
