Summary of Key Wellness and Productivity Strategies from the Video
The presenter, Nastya, shares her personal experience and methodology for planning and managing tasks during stressful times, especially when experiencing mental fog. She adapts metacognitive strategies (thinking about thinking) to improve her planning process, emphasizing the importance of reflection and regulation in achieving long-term goals through daily actions.
Key Strategies and Techniques
1. Reflection (Metacognitive Awareness)
- Ask three core questions about any task or goal:
- What is the nature of the task?
- What are my strengths and weaknesses related to this task?
- What strategies can I use to achieve this goal?
- Writing down answers helps clarify thoughts and reveals gaps in understanding.
- Example: If you struggle with remembering dates, use visual aids like family trees or diagrams.
2. Long-term Planning with Breakdown into Smaller Tasks
- Develop a long-term strategic vision (annual or quarterly).
- Break it down into tactical monthly, weekly, and daily tasks.
- Ensure daily efforts contribute to significant changes over a year.
- Use paper diaries or planners to visualize time and progress, especially if you struggle with time awareness.
- Example: Building a handmade jewelry business by:
- Setting specific goals for each quarter.
- Breaking quarterly goals into monthly and weekly actionable steps.
- Planning micro-steps such as registering the business, creating products, and marketing.
3. Regulation Process: Planning, Monitoring, and Control
- Planning Stage:
- Define clear goals.
- Identify strategies and past experiences that can help.
- Regularly revisit and remind yourself of quarterly and monthly goals.
- Monitoring Stage:
- Track progress consistently.
- Adjust daily and weekly tasks based on remaining time and priorities.
- Stay mindful of time by noting the week of the month and how much time is left.
- Control Stage:
- Evaluate the effectiveness of your strategies.
- Reflect weekly or monthly on what worked and what didn’t.
- Use this evaluation to improve future planning.
4. Dealing with Mental Fog and Lack of Time Awareness
- Use physical tools like paper diaries to “feel” time passing.
- Flip through pages daily to maintain a sense of continuity and progress.
- Constantly remind yourself of long-term goals to resist distractions from urgent but less important tasks.
5. Mindset and Motivation
- Recognize that long-term planning is not necessary for everyone; it depends on personal goals and circumstances.
- Developing metacognitive skills reduces frustration by shifting focus from obstacles to solutions.
- Confidence gained from understanding your planning process provides extra energy and motivation.
- Accept that stability and growth look different for everyone; personal goals should align with your current life phase and desires.
