Check-Ins


Too often, we end up doing before thinking. Invite yourself to make a plan before you execute.

Regular check-ins eliminate hours of idle busyness without being productive.
Rather than being busy, focus on being productive (or doing nothing!).

Here is an example check-in:

      Set intention for your year.
      Creation date: 3. February 2023 22:05 (updated at: 13. January 2024 16:52)
      When: 2023
      What will you have achieved?
      I will have taken steps toward moving to Morocco. My French will be conversational (at least B1) and I will have started to learn Arabic. To get there, I will have taken an intense Arabic class (at least 3 hours per day for 1 month) and will have spoken with a native French speaker for 1 hour at least once a month.
      How did it go?
      After a 20 minute phone call with ChatGPT, the AI rated my French as 85 out of 100, which I take as at least B1. My Arabic didn't progress as well even though I took an intense Arabic class (4 hours per day 3 times a week for 2 months) and visited Morocco for 3 weeks. But aside from that I didn't do much to improve my Arabic. My Arabic is probably still in-between the A1 and A2 level. A more effective approach would have been to move to Morocco for 3 months and take an intense language class there - which I intend to do soon.
