Day 2974 - Not Fully Rested

I mean, I'll be asleep by 9.30, so I've got five and a half hours to just do whatever it is that I want to do to get ready for tomorrow.

Now, Mondays are probably one of my busiest days of the week, given how much work I do on a Monday to set myself up for the whole week.

And so I do a bunch of strategy work on Mondays.

I picked up a new client last week, the end of last week, got another consultation with a client this week.

This is the time of the year when people start to get more interested in their health and wellness.

you know, any coaching work that they want to do.

And if you've been listening to me for a while, I talk about it here and on the Mental Toughness and Body Show as well.

There's this period between now and so we're at the, well, I'll just say mid-September, it's towards, you know, we've got, what, 10 days left of September.

And...

It's between now and about, I'm going to say the 11th of November, when people are keen to get started.

Beyond that, people start to close down.

They're busy, there's work things, there's Christmas things.

It's a busy time of the year for people and their mindset is just not there.

Which seems weird, doesn't it? And a lot of people, they then don't come back until...

in that mindset until March.

But it also is very dependent here on the weather.

So if it's really cold, dark, gloomy, then that keeps people away.

If next year it's really hot in Feb and March, that keeps people away.

It's bizarre, isn't it? But that's just the way that it happens, certainly the way that it is in Melbourne.

It's the same type of trend over the last 17 years.

So the data is real.

It really is.

So this next week, like today, it's supposed to be 25.

Could even get up to 27, a few people have been telling me.

And the last few days have been in the sort of low 20s.
