I’ve been focused on meeting hard writing/teaching deadlines and specific necessary tasks the last few weeks, working from a prioritized to-do list, so didn’t do woops. I got a ton done–feeling good about that, if a bit tired. Now I can look up a bit… think about my trio and my practice more creatively… good time to do a weekly woop…
Wish – to incorporate guitar/singing into my daily practice for trio.
Outcome – by end of week, 1) words and Bev’s harmonies for Winter’s Come and Gone memorized, 2) words memorized and create harmony parts for Wild Mountain Thyme and Do You Love an Apple, 3) be competent w/ reading simple guitar and singing on Twa Corbies, Carolina, One More Dollar, and Wayfaring Stranger, but wait on memorizing these til other three are solid.
Obstacle – tiredness / spending so much time writing at computer, without getting enough exercise/stretching
Plan -be consistent with one hour of exercise after morning dog walk; get to bed by 11:30am; schedule rehearsal with Bev just focused on songs; isolate minimum of one hour a day to focus on songs, preferably during daylight, but if not accomplished before dinner, muster the discipline to do it in the evening. SAY NO TO THINGS THAT UNNECESSARILY GOBBLE UP TIME.

@tricia-snell I imagine you’ve already tried this, but while a pomodoro timer app seems really simple, it can change how your work periods feel, and increase the likelihood of your taking breaks instead of getting stuck in front of the computer for long periods of time.

Actually no I have never tried that… I’ll go check it out, thx!

I use a free app called Focus Keeper, for what it’s worth. There are lots of other free ones though, I think. And some for the computer too.

Hello! I’m excited about my first WOOP. It is as basic as they come but hopefully not too generic to be useful.
Wish: I would like to reestablish my habit of practicing six days a week and to establish a routine within my new work schedule. I would like my routine to include Alexander Technique, warm-up, fundamentals, and at least one piece of music.
Outcome: I will feel like I have a better work-life balance and that I am investing in myself. I will be less stressed by developing a realistic routine that I can maintain.
Obstacle: I could let work tasks that arise take priority over practice time, even if I have flexibility over when to complete them.
Plan: If a task arises over which I have scheduling flexibility, then I will schedule a time to complete it and continue practicing.

@kristen-gale Will be curious to hear how your first WOOP went! Have you ever done a not-to-do list, by the way? Sometimes it can be helpful to identify the things that are tempting to spend time on, but we really should NOT be spending our time on.
