Daily Routine For Skill-Building & Learning

What are we covering today?

• What is a routine + why do we want one?
• Your daily routine = 3 simple steps (*diff types of routines, we're talking about YOURS today!)
• Creating 7 Days of Awesome

A Routine is Not...

• More on your plate
• Fixed / static

A Routine Is...

• A tool to help you manage what's on your plate
• To be adapted until it works for you

Why do we want a daily routine?

• Clarity = power (rn many of us, especially our kids, feel DISempowered); clarity not just on what, but WHY + how
• Modelling reinforces household culture (routine --> SB, accountability, reflection, resilience as daily practices)
• Low-stakes confidence builder

Your Daily Routine

• Check - Plan - Do (Reflect)
• In school
• Non-academics / in life (focus here)

Your Daily Routine

• Identify your (non-school/non-work) buckets.
• CHECK: why is this bucket important? What do you want to do/achieve? Timeline? Consider short-term vs. long-term (we need both!)
• PLAN: write out the tasks needed to do/achieve/prioritize accordingly.
• DO

Golden Rules of Your Daily Routine

• Check your resources (ie Google classroom). Do not rely on memory.
• Write down your plan (ie calendar). If it's not written down, it's not happening.
• Set yourself up for success. Your DAILY Routine - how to make it become/stay that way? What gets in the way? Design decisions ahead where possible (1x day vs. am/pm? timer vs no timer? etc.)
