2025 Week 36 Plan


It's 8:50 AM on Saturday as I begin to write my way through this Week 36 Plan. My brother and his wife are visiting from Kentucky, and we are about to head out of Albany for a daytrip, so this will be an early and brief weekly planning session. Here are the seven steps of my weekly planning process as they currently stand:

  • Step 1: Evaluate the Past Seven Days (Review My Weekly Plan, Give the Week a Binary Evaluation, Summarize at Least One Key Takeaway)
  • Step 2: Review Mission (Blog Title) and Vision (Blog Description)
  • Step 3: Review Areas of Responsibility (Blog Pages)
  • Step 4: Review Project List and Add or Retire Active Projects (Blog Labels)
  • Step 5: Confirm Assignment of Quadrant II Work on Each Project to Productivity Theme Days (Blog Pages)
  • Step 6: Confirm Hard Appointments for the Week, Month and Quarter Underway (Microsoft Outlook Calendar)
  • Step 7: Update Next Actions List as Time Allows (Microsoft Outlook To Do)  
 
Week 35 was a positive mental health recovery week.

Daily use of Microsoft To Do for the management of my next actions is working well enough for me to keep up the experiment for another week, but I am thinking about trying a separate habit tracker app for my recurring next actions.

I am still comfortable with my mission (Discerning a Christian Vegan Eremitic Vocation with a Psychiatric Disability) and my low-key vision (A Detailed Journal. Published 1-3x Daily at Peak Flow. Thanks for Your Visit. God Bless.)

I am also still comfortable with my seven Areas of Responsibility:

  • Time Management | Center | Saturday
  • Healthcare Patient | Midheaven | Wednesday
  • Family Support | Imum Coeli | Friday
  • Spiritual Direction | East | Sunday and Thursday
  • Political Theology | West | Monday
  • Hermit Economics | North | Tuesday
  • Music of the Spheres | South | Evenings

Here is an updated list of my active projects:

  1. Office Organization
  2. Weekly Planning
  3. Medication Management (Daily)
  4. Personal Hygiene (Daily)
  5. Physical Exercise (Daily)
  6. Plant-Based Nutrition (Daily)
  7. Sleep Hygiene (Daily)
  8. Healthcare Appointments
  9. Medical Records
  10. Mom Caresharing (Daily)
  11. Sibling Support
  12. Dad's Legacy
  13. Family Tree
  14. Letters to Future Generations
  15. Consultation with Mentors
  16. Daily Prayer (Daily)
  17. Religious Reading
  18. Sunday Morning Worship
  19. Inquiry and Catechumenate
  20. Christian Zionism
  21. UN Charter Navigation
  22. Net Zero Hermitage
  23. Basic Income Management
  24. Vegan Wardrobe
  25. Green Transportation
  26. Christian Astronomy
  27. Christian Astrology
  28. Psalter and Psalmody
  29. Thoughts on Music 

Step 5 of my system is to confirm my soft calendar appointment of Quadrant II project work in each Area of Responsibility to productivity theme days and blocks. Everything is good here.
 
Step 6 of my system is to confirm all of my hard appointments (appointments that I actually write in my calendar) for the upcoming week, month, and quarter. Done.

The final step of my weekly planning system is management of my next action list in Microsoft To Do. Good enough!
