00:00:00,700 --> 00:00:06,780
Secretary Reed, the difficulty of each activity, some of the activities you wrote down are probably

2
00:00:06,780 --> 00:00:09,880
things you're doing already and are fairly easy.

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,700
Others may feel out of reach at this point.

4
00:00:13,140 --> 00:00:15,740
Still others will fall between these extremes.

5
00:00:16,050 --> 00:00:23,490
I like a simple three point rating scale for these levels of difficulty, one for easy, two for moderate

6
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:24,660
and three for hard.

7
00:00:25,080 --> 00:00:28,620
But feel free to use whatever ratings can work for you.

8
00:00:28,980 --> 00:00:33,330
The important thing is that the items are rated relative to each other.

9
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:42,550
Joan found it was easy to take time to play with his kids while reading a book would require more effort.

10
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:49,740
He knew he'd have to work up to planning a family weekend getaway, which felt impossibly complicated,

11
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,750
generated these activities accordingly.

12
00:00:54,210 --> 00:01:00,360
Go through your list and assign a rating to each activity if you find it's hard to decide how difficult

13
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,290
something will be.

14
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,870
Just give it your best guess.

15
00:01:05,250 --> 00:01:07,800
Step for blan the order of completion.

16
00:01:08,220 --> 00:01:15,150
Now that you have a good idea of how challenging each activity will be, you can plan which ones to

17
00:01:15,150 --> 00:01:15,750
start with.

18
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:22,620
You don't have to arrange all the activities in order, but be at least five to 10 that will get you

19
00:01:22,620 --> 00:01:23,130
started.

20
00:01:23,790 --> 00:01:30,630
That way you will have a roadmap to follow over the coming days and you won't lose momentum trying to

21
00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:31,950
decide what to do next.

22
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,160
You can always make adjustments as you go.

23
00:01:35,490 --> 00:01:41,450
Consider including activities from different life areas to provide a variety of rewards.
