Protocol at the end of the hour

Protocol at the end of the hour.

After every "event" of the day -- every pomodoro chunk, every block of time spent focused on something, make a quick note: what did I complete, accomplish?

Pause for a moment.  What's happening right now?  (Susan Susanka style)

Then, before the next "event," ask yourself two questions (or, "set your direction on your ship"):

1. WHAT am I trying to complete/accomplish in the next chunk of time? (be as concrete as possible)
2. WHAT is my intention?  (what should my tone be?) Am I looking to...
• find beauty? 
• seek peace?
• An opportunity for play, adventure, exploration, learning.  (these and following from LB here)

• An opportunity for curiosity.
• An opportunity for compassion and love.
• A way to express your gift, your true self, to sing your song.
• A way to connect with someone.
• An opportunity for wonder, gratitude, appreciation, awe.
• A way to practice mindfulness, being present to your life.
• A chance to surrender, trust, relax with life.
• A place to practice letting down your defenses.
• An opportunity to deepen, to contemplate, to find solitude and silence.
• An exhilarating experience of freedom and openness.
• A place of spaciousness.
• A chance to savor, find the deliciousness, find the delight.
• A place to choose.
• A way to experiment, try something new.
• A way to meet your needs, to own what you want, to set boundaries with love.
• An opportunity to lead, to serve.
• A way to express your purpose.
• An expression of your power.
