Book Summary

This week's book is "Winning the week" by Demir Bentley and Carey Bentley

Planning your next day can play a significant role in your success in life, whether it be personal or professional. But have you ever planned your whole week?
.
In the book Winning the Week, The Productivity power couple Demir & Carey Bentley shows you a powerful and effective, seven-step process called as “Winning the Week Method” that will teach you how to plan successfully & Execute your week without falling short of energy or time.

The Book is divided into two parts. The first part of the book teaches you how to plan your week, and the Second part shows you how to execute the plan.
The Book has covered everything about successful planning, from different techniques to create a master plan, Getting results without encountering burnout, to changing mindsets to achieve the highest productivity levels in your life and business.

Here is the 7 Step process to plan your week

1. Remove the resistance- Remove the resistance that every adult has naturally built against planning, the natural result of the anxiety and fear it inflicts upon us. Change that resistance into something rewarding and you will easily start planning. Make planning an activity that you enjoy.

2. Learn a lesson each week- By creating a learning loop that allows for exponential improvement. Without this self-reflection, you will fall victim to making the same mistakes over and over again. Take some time out and observe what worked last week and what didn’t. So that you can improve that in the next week.

3. Choose a leveraged priority- Avoid prioritizing something that feels important and instead choose to prioritize the thing that makes your life consistently easier. It can be something that can save you time, improve your health or help you make more money.

4. Interrogate your calender- Go beyond the casual calendar review to interrogate your calendar, looking for landmines and wargaming your week. Remember that you have to beat your calendar up a little bit for it to tell the truth. Make sure you schedule your meeting, meet-ups, and other activities prior. otherwise, you’ll not remember.

5. Triage your task list- Ruthlessly triage your task list to ensure that you’re only considering the highest-yielding bids on your time. prioritize your activities, your tasks, and your weekly goals. Your time is limited, you can’t do everything, automate, consolidate, or outsource your tasks that don’t require much effort.

6. Allocate time demand supply- Make the tough choice about what’s really going to get done, with eyes wide open to the consequences. Allocate time for activities as per the demand such as self-care, social media, creative time and social time, etc. Make sure to make the most out of your time.

7. Execute your plan- A plan without action is nothing. Execute your plan by creating no distraction zones and achieving peak productivity.

Reading Tip

Always keep a Highlighter, pen, or pencil with you while you read. Highlight everything that you think is important and resonates with you.

Highlighting things will help you remember what you learn for a longer period of time. So next time, make sure to highlight and mark important stuff so that you can visit it in the future.
