One of the most overlooked but crucial elements when pursuing a lifestyle change is the power of organization. Sometimes, we are so focused on our outcome goals, such as losing 20 pounds, that we lose sight of how important being organized in our daily lives is to achieving our ultimate goal.

There are three key reasons why your personal organization is essential to a successful lifestyle change:

• Increased Productivity - Organization helps you prioritize and focus on the tasks that truly matter.

Being organized is a helpful tool and a fundamental requirement for creating meaningful and lasting lifestyle behavior change.

Results Take Time. Stick With Your Plan, and They Will Come!

At The 432 Playbook, we like to check in with ourselves after three months. The focus is not to achieve your ultimate goal after 3 months but to make progress so that you are on your way! Three months is not a hard timeline, but it is a check-in with yourself to see how you are doing. It is a reminder that the most important thing is to have patience and give yourself plenty of time to achieve your goals! Having patience with yourself is one huge key to being successful. Patience can be a powerful asset if you let it. As you age, results take time, but they will come.  Three months is a time to celebrate progress, no matter how small it seems, and re-assess your micro goals, but most importantly, it is an internal alarm clock that reminds you to believe in yourself, stay patient, stick with your plan or adjust it, forgive yourself for any missteps, but Keep Going!  Keep Moving Forward!

After completing this module, you will :

• Learn the significance of 3 months. How to use this timeframe and why it is impactful.

• Learn how to use patience as a powerful mental weapon to overcome obesity.

• Learn the importance of having a plan and the key components for success.

• Realize: When you don’t know everything to do, you can still create a good plan.
