Obsession, Profession, Decompression.

Thoughtful Thursday No.90

In last week’s post, I wrote about my word of the year for 2024 was Sustain.

Here is how I am thinking about the year ahead.

I will be dividing up my life into 3 clear areas:

3 Areas

1, Obsession

Your obsession is the main thing you do outside your profession, that you love doing and find flow doing.

2, Profession

Your profession is your work; how you make money or how you make an impact.

3, Decompression

Intentional recharge time and switching off.

I hope this will create more intentional mental switches depending on the area or mode I am in.

It also allows for focus on each area and makes goal setting clearer.

Here is how I have used this framework:

Obsession.

What: 

• Learn, Share, and Coach through The Peapod and in work coaching.

Goals: 

• Develop my ability to communicate ideas as effectively as possible in both writing and imagery to help others learn and grow with me.

Profession

What: 

• Deputy Manager B&Q Doncaster

Goals: 

• To continue to improve my mindset and how I relate to work and limit how much it can dominate other aspects.

• To embed coaching as part of my role.

Decompression

What  

• Enjoying my free time.

Goals 

• To be intentional about spending time with family and friends. 

• To work towards not feeling guilty around relaxing.

These are just the goal headlines.

The idea behind sharing them is to give a sense of what a goal in each area could look like.

As always I hope this was helpful.
