It’s human nature to treat each day the same, bobbing and weaving through life, without considering the amount of mental energy we have available.
In sport’s psychology, there is a daily self-check tool that athletes use to assess their readiness to train. It’s called Daily Readiness Monitoring.
While subjective, it has also been shown to be a strong predictor of performance and may help prevent overtraining and burnout.
In PowerME™ we recommend a similar tool for assessing your own state of readiness and to help you plan for your day rather than simply reacting to it.
