Okay friends, today I’m sharing how I actually used those Cainer Virgo Weekly tips in real life – like step by step what went down. No fluff, just what worked when my brain felt like scrambled eggs last month.
Why I Even Bothered Trying This
So Monday hits and bam, my to-do list looked like alphabet soup – client reports, gym routine, even fixing that damn leaky faucet. Felt like spinning plates blindfolded. Saw Cainer’s Virgo thingy about mapping success paths and thought “Eh, worth a shot”.
First step? Grabbed my ugliest notebook (the one with coffee stains) and just dumped everything swirling in my head. Like literally:
- Finish Johnson proposal
- Call plumber (faucet dripping driving me nuts)
- 3 gym sessions minimum
- Research podcast mics
- Find that Thai curry recipe Jen mentioned
The Sorting Hat Phase (But Without Magic)
Following Virgo Weekly’s tip, I sorted this mess with simple labels:
MUST (red pen) = Johnson proposal deadline Thursday.
SHOULD (blue) = Podcast research & gym.
WISH (pencil) = Curry recipe (sorry Jen).
Deleted the plumber task entirely after realizing YouTube exists. Watched a 10min tutorial Wednesday and fixed it with duct tape. Felt like a god.
Baby-Stepping My Way Through
Now Virgo Weekly’s magic trick: chunking. Broke the Johnson proposal from hell into pieces:
– Monday AM: Client notes review
– Monday PM: Outline draft
– Tuesday: Pricing section ONLY
– Wednesday AM: Revision
Focused ONLY on one chunk per time block. Didn’t touch the podcast research till pricing got done.
Massive realization: I used to block “WORK ON PROPOSAL” all day Tuesday – no wonder I panicked. Small bites taste better.
The Cheesiest Part That Actually Worked
Crossed off every damn micro-task with a green highlighter. Finished Johnson proposal Thursday 10am? Did a chair dance. Smashed podcast research? Highlighted. Gym sesh done? Highlight parade. Green streaks felt like dopamine shots.
By Friday, even knocked out that curry recipe hunt (Jen approved). Total win felt like leveling up in real life.
Why This Sticks For Me
Wasn’t magic, wasn’t fancy tools. Just:
- Brain dump chaos
- Ruthless priority sort
- Teeny action steps
- Highlighter therapy
Takes 20 minutes Sundays now. Feels like I’m driving the truck instead of being roadkill. Give it a shot when the overwhelm hits – duct tape fixes and chair dances guaranteed.
