Fill Your Own Cup First

Me first!

You cannot be more productive or organized than your personal energy allows. We’ve all heard about putting on our oxygen masks first, and then assisting others. How many times have you said, or heard, “fill your cup up so you can fill the cup up of others”?

Do you have a systematic, deliberate way of ensuring that your personal energy level stays high?

Try implementing the steps of A.W.E. to create change!

It pays to know

A – Awareness W – Work E - Evaluate

• What activities relax you?• What activities energize you? • What activities drain you?

What drains you?

A – Awareness W – Work E - Evaluate

Choose one energy giving activity to add to your schedule and one energy depleting activity to delete from your schedule.

Follow through!

How are you going to make sure you follow through? The easiest thing to “bump” from our

schedules is time spent on ourselves. Plan for this.

Now what?

A – Awareness W – Work E - Evaluate • Check your energy and productivity levels

periodically throughout the day and the week.

• What’s working that you want to continue to implement?

• Where can you make some adjustments for even bigger results?

Now what?

Now move past that awareness into deliberate, focused action to ensure your cup remains full.
