🖨️ Print your Lab Worksheets for this Assignment

This assignment has 2 parts: reflection questions and some time tracking to gather intel.

For the first part of this assignment, you’ll want to have some time to yourself to focus and really feel into each caption.

I suggest grabbing your worksheets, a pen and your ear buds for music (I love this movie soundtrack playlist) and heading to your fave cafe for an hour.

It's important that you approach these lab assignments from a position of power + clarity ... a position accessed when you are not in a constant cycle of distraction.

First, use the Reflection Worksheet to journal on last year … looking at moments you recorded on social media can help too!

Using a copy of our Dream Wheel to record highlights and lessons can be helpful as you reflect on last year.

Next, fill in the Self Discovery Worksheet + Alignment Audit to really tune into where you are presently.

This is also a great time to do the 5 Love Languages quiz either for the first time or as a refresh with a friend, your partner/spouse or kids!

This will give you your #1 language and then you can pay to unlock the other four.

Note: Here is a totally free version of the couples edition only and doesn’t give a full breakdown of languages … just a breakdown by % at the end. And then use this worksheet to script out ideas for each language with special focus on your top love language.

Time Tracking:

The second part of this first Lab Assignment, is to begin tracking your time; ideally for 2 days and across a weekday + a weekend day.

This is going to give you an honest, holistic perspective of where your time is going … since we famously underestimate how much time it takes to do the various things we do each day.

This intel is going to help you better know how to budget your time + batch your tasks which we explore further in the Time Lab coming up.

There are 2 documents to open/print as you track your time: The 168 Hrs Time Sheet and the Time Tracking Log.

For the Log, you can use this as paper, or you can do it virtually on Google Sheets (on your desktop and/or app on your phone).
When you open it, click File and then make a copy of it before you start entering data on it.

This is a revealing process to go through and will help you as you make decisions about how you are spending your time going forward. So really allow yourself to just go through your day as you normally would … don’t judge how you’re spending your time, or try to make it look perfect. It is much more helpful to track your day honestly.

Once you’ve tracked at least 1 day of time - you can use the 168 Hrs Time Sheet to allocate your time as you spent it. In each block, record the amount of minutes/hours you invested into each theme and what the activity was.

And then at the bottom of the sheet where you see the small boxes, just record the amount of minutes spent towards each.

What this does, is reflect where our time might not be actually honoring our values. And the point is, we can always pivot ♡

Interesting to note:

• According to the Nielsen Report: The average American adult spends over 11 hours per day listening, watching, reading or interacting with TV/Social Media.

• If you live into your eighties and were born anytime after the year of 2000, you will spend at least 40 years of your life on a device (according to current trends)

• According to Statista.com: the average home that earns under 25K/yr consumes 7 hrs of TV per day. 25K - 50K/yr consume 5.75 hrs daily. 55 - 75K/yr: 4.8 hrs daily. And above 75K/yr consume 3.8 hrs daily.

the quarterly ZOOMS

Each quarter, I host a reflection + planning session in the Zoom Room and stream it into our Facebook Group where it is stored as a recording.
It will also be an opportunity for you to ask questions either LIVE or by posting below the planned livestream.
