Day 7: Tips to Maintain Household Rhythm
Another Homerun!!! Work-Life Balance Here We Come
Marcus Smith
Welcome everyone to another day of journey of me. So I am here with my wife, Lila, and we've been definitely working. Today is October 29, that is a Thursday, we are happy to get our reps in, some of us hit our target some of us didn't. So let's talk about how we did today. And again, if you're new to the channel, definitely like and subscribe. This is where we're basically working on having a balanced life, and a life of peace and clarity. So we're achieving that by doing these things each day, because this is really what matters. So Lila, tell me how did we do in our different areas here we have the relationships to eat, right exercise, practice, something that we enjoy, and then sleep and rhythm.
But how did you do in your R
today?
Lela
I did really good in my art today, I got a slam dunk with both personal and spiritual connections today. So did really good. feel really good about that?
Marcus Smith
Good. Good. So and I actually got mine in as well. So we definitely had a chance to think we had a moment nice phone call today with a few friends, friends and really connected with them. I thought that was really good.
So let's go to the eat right and exercise.
Lela
Not a slam dunk. I held it down for us.
Marcus Smith
Yeah, I mean, you can tell that I hesitated a little bit because definitely I didn't get a chance to get mine in today had a busy day. And I didn't sleep well. In a working super late note. This looks like yeah, I guess I'm telling myself, but it's a chain reaction. That's one thing I noticed if you get something off, it'll kind of bleed into other areas.
So let's go into
Lela
wait can we celebrate? Yeah. Exercise 30 minutes I did I actually split it up today for the first time I did 15 minutes in the morning, 15 minutes at night. And I really liked it. So I'll see if I'll do that again. But I definitely got that in and stayed with my healthy eating. So
Marcus Smith
definitely, I appreciate you for that for keeping us going. So let's go to the next area, which is practice something that we enjoy. So this has to do with hobbies or learning something new. today. For me it was more on the hobby side. After I finished my my heavy meetings throughout the day, I went outside, had a chance to go through the garden harvested a few tomatoes, got a chance to see some butterflies and some bees and really definitely relaxed me and then also got a chance to sit next to one of our lavender plants. So definitely, videos thought. And then now the last area is
Lela
Wait I got my P
in to
Marcus Smith
I'm sorry. Tell me about your P though.
Lela
I'm feeling really good. Today I listened to an audiobook. It's called actually it's called breaking up with sugar. Hmm. And it's a book that I've been reading for a while, but I decided to pick it back up, read it, listen to it. And so I was able to get that in today's I was happy about that.
Marcus Smith
Good, good. Let's go into our sleeping rhythm.
Which I guess I'm always kind of anxious to take knowledge. And that's one thing when you're doing these reps, it's not necessarily a bad thing to acknowledge, you know, when you don't hit the mark, you know, it's a level of integrity to look at it and say, Hey, I didn't do it. And to analyze it. That's why we're journaling it to see why that chain reaction happened that day, but thankful again, for my dear wife holding this down by getting a good, I appreciate you for that asleep for that and
Lela
did some things for the household, got the chores and everything. So s definitely was taking care of today. Because you've held it down for a few days this week, I do have to acknowledge that where I wasn't pulling my weight on the P and different things like that. So I was happy to get one in 14.
Marcus Smith
So tell me a little bit about the rhythm site you talked about, we got the chores, and we were able to make sure that that happened. What are some tips for any of our viewers on how to make sure that that happened?
Lela
You know, it's all about having some sort of schedule. So we get busy during the week. So when it comes to rhythm, just trying to do things as systematic as possible really helps me. So trying to make sure that I know what I need to do, whether it's just a load of laundry, whatever it is trying to squeeze that in making sure I you know, around the house, we clean up behind ourselves too much to clean up at the end of the night, at the end of the day. So just little things help. Good, good. I get everything.
Marcus Smith
So I think that definitely is something that I like. It definitely helps. And I think if you're out there and you have any tips to you know, even let us know how you're keeping those rhythm. Even with your chores, please let us know. But now let's go to the unveiling. So I did as a team, we worked as a team I have to admit, I'm still in the dugout and I did miss the mark a little bit but overall he was able to go to bat for us today
Lela
team you've been doing it for us this week as well.
Marcus Smith
And we got another home run for we're gonna definitely clap that up. I'm gonna get like some cheer animated something, you got to start celebrating it, where you can hear the crowd kind of, you know, celebrate this. But I do want to thank my wife, again for inspiring me a lot of this, you know, the design of all of this and even pulling us aside that makes sure that we get our time in throughout the day. I do want to tell you that presets and your creativity.

WHAT ARE REPS?
A Routine that Helps Build Better Relationships
TIME TO RESET FROM SUMMER TO WINTER: It is time to get my cold weather vegetable garden ready. But I had a person moment of reflection. A man's true delight is the do the things he was made for. At the core of everything in life, I have learned to continue to till the soil. Yes, It is frustrating. It is repetitive. It is mundane. However, if you embrace that action, you might find hidden secret. It can help you to focus and develop IF YOU VIEW IT FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. Now that I am getting into the repetitive and seasonal demand of a garden, I am learning that there is a personal development application to anything that you practice in life. Some choose music or some other hobby. I choose THE GARDEN. There is a lot to learn from a garden. Tell me what are some of the personal development factors that you are finding in learning how to maintain a garden.
Lela Hello, and welcome to the journey of me, this is Thursday, November 12, our daily recap, let's see how we did. Marcus Smith And today we had a really good day. I mean, at the end of the day is something that we enjoy doing, which is definitely catching up on our reps each day. And making sure that we get our relationships in as far as connecting and making sure that we're good spiritually and personally. And then of course, eating and exercise, practicing something we enjoy and get into sleep and rhythm. So if you're new to this channel, please like and subscribe. Today we're going to talk a little bit about how we accomplish these three goals in our life. So Lela, tell us what happened today. Lela All right, but the R we did great. So we were able to connect personally, we also have great spiritual connections that we want to maintain. And we were able to do that today. So double check on R Marcus Smith Alright, what happened with the E. Lela Again, double check there, we've both eating healthy exercising, Marcus Smith I'm feeling great that we're both on a roll. And we're just doing good. We're in the rhythm. So I really like that we're getting consistent with this Lela Yes a great, great rhythm. Marcus Smith And the P which is practicing something that we enjoy. Again, if you have a hobby, or something that you do that you like to learn, this is something that is you definitely need to make room in your day and make sure you get the total fulfillment, the joy out of it. So today, I got a chance to go into the garden, and I had a great day in the garden resetting for the winter. So that definitely helped me get my checkmark. Lela That's really good. And I'm happy to announce that I have started my second real estate course. So that's an accomplishment there. So I did get my P in. Marcus Smith And last but not least is our sleep and rhythm. Now for me, I've been really going to sleep extremely early, and making sure that I get that sleep in. But I'm really deep into my routine. And again, I've talked in previous videos about sleep hygiene, you want to look at that, because those are some tips and tricks that we have done to keep us in a rhythm. And of course, my wife has taught me some deep secrets of having her sprays and her lavender diffuser going but we that goal is for us to stay into that rhythm. So today I was able to get that in and was able to wake up early and get straight to work. What about you? Lela Well, as you can see, it wasn't a full full for checks for me. But I did do some things taking care of our household I was able to get that in. However, there's also the main thing of the S is dealing with our sleep. So I did to get the rhythm sign in which we don't talk about a lot. But their rhythm has to do with things like your household chores, or just other things that you have to do to take care of the household to make sure that things are in balance. And so, but I do have to admit that I did not get seven hours of sleep last night. So I'm gonna get it tonight, we're gonna see me with four checks tomorrow. Marcus Smith Now, overall, we still consider this a home run because we were able to complete one item in each of the areas and we do this as a household. So if there's some areas that Leila may not be able to fulfill, I'm there to catch her and vice versa. She's definitely carrying me last week. So it's my duty to keep us going this week. Lela My knight in shining armor. Marcus Smith Thank you. Thank you. So before we leave, what are some tips that you want to give someone that is beginning to start these, this rhythm of creating the reps in their life? Is there anything that you want to share with them that they can do to get started? Lela Sure, it's actually gonna sound funny. But if you're just getting started with this, I would actually say to start backwards. And what I mean by that is it's reps starting with the REPS. The first thing and the most crucial thing that I found to help me is actually starting with that s and that sleep in that rhythm is off, everything else goes down the drain. So if you're just getting started, it could help to start by going backwards with this and see if that helps you. Marcus Smith So the best way forward is actually taking a step back. Lela Absolutely. Marcus Smith I thought that was very insightful. So, again, we're gonna close here, if you're new to this channel, tell us some of the things that you're doing just to get started to stay consistent, and we're celebrating our 15th day in our streak. Yes, so we definitely gonna keep sharing the journey of M and E. That's Marcus and Lela, and we're gonna keep sharing this and letting you all know where we are.
