One Positive Action

Write out your priorities for the week:

If you want to have a productive, fulfilling week, don’t just dive in and hope for the best, take a few minutes to set your course. Instead of spending your week reacting to whatever comes up, you’ll be proactively moving toward the things that will most bring you success and happiness.

Start by asking yourself: What are the three most important things I want to accomplish this week? These could be work-related, personal, or even tied to your well-being. The key is to prioritize what will have the biggest impact. Too often, we mistake busyness for progress, we check off endless to-do lists but don’t feel any closer to the things that actually bring us meaning. By focusing on a few high-impact priorities, you shift from just being busy to being intentional.

And here’s the real advantage: when we give our brain clear direction, it automatically starts looking for opportunities to move us forward. This is called the Tetris Effect, when you prime your mind to focus on certain goals, you start seeing patterns and solutions everywhere. That’s why writing down your priorities isn’t just a productivity hack, it’s a way to reshape your mindset for success.

So, before your week gets away from you, take five minutes to write out what really matters. Keep your list visible, check in with it daily, and use it as a guidepost when distractions creep in. The clearer your focus, the more likely you are to end the week feeling accomplished, not just exhausted.
