“I know I can, I know I can, I know I can …” – Adapted from Watty Piper’s The Little Engine That Could
This first week on the business cleanse has been a roller coaster. In the spirit of productivity, here’s a brief summary of how things are going.
Monday was amazing. I laughed at 8:30 a.m. after spilling coffee grounds all over myself and the kitchen, and smiled while I was cleaning it up. That’s when I realized that my ideal morning routine is amazing. I was in a great mood and nothing could change that.
Tuesday was the opposite. Scattered, stressful, exhausting — yet still very productive.
I won’t go into the details of each day, but I have to be honest: I didn’t think the business cleanse would be this hard. Apparently work habits are hard to change.
But I’m determined.
Overall, I give my performance this week a B- for my effort. Not bad, but I can do much better!

Hey Drew, I am in the same boat but slightly more scattered. My boss was gone on a client visit so I had to pick up more responsibilities than normal and that derailed me almost immediately Monday morning. Nevertheless, I will say that I have NEVER been more conscious of my productivity levels and am very quick to get myself back on track. My social networking fix was reduced to nearly zero this week which is GREAT but with the boss being out, I’ve found myself speaking much more with my co-worker about various work things which lead to non-work conversations. But I am determined to make this work and I saw a big difference yesterday when my boss finally returned to the office with being very focused.
My grade: C. Some outside of my control but still many things that I contributed to. I have found that planning my days has been a good habit and I am planning on incorporating more of that next week! Thanks Drew! Enjoy this gorgeous weekend weather and we will get back on it Monday!
Hey Sidney, Thanks so much for sharing. I’m glad this business cleanse is helping notice things you can change! Talk soon.
