Set your intention for the week

  1. 1.Think about the 3 most important outcomes you want this week.
  2. 2.Write one sentence for each: 'This week I will ___.'
  3. 3.Below each, write one concrete first step.
  4. 4.Put the list somewhere you'll see it daily.

Why it works

A single intention for the week beats a task list for shifting how you spend attention. Your brain over-weights the first thing you decide each week — use that.

Best for

  • •Sunday evening
  • •Monday morning before email
  • •The start of any natural cycle

Variations

  • •Keep it to one sentence. Longer intentions fragment attention.
  • •Frame as a theme, not a goal ('be early to things' beats 'don't be late').

Frequently asked

Is this just a fancy resolution?

Resolutions are annual and pass-or-fail. A weekly intention is small enough to keep and re-tune, which is why it actually shifts behavior.
