The 100-Point Leadership Wellness Protocol
High performance demands high wellness. Whether you're a leader, coach, parent, or partner, your ability to thrive hinges on your well-being. And while performance is a motivator, prioritizing self-care is fundamentally about recognizing your inherent worth as a human being.
This protocol is designed to help you consistently operate at your best, focusing on achieving 100 recovery points within a 24-hour period. While aiming for daily adherence is admirable, realistically, targeting five days a week is a sustainable goal for myself— you might be different.
Remember, this is a customizable framework. Feel free to adjust point values and activities to align with your unique needs and preferences. The core principle is intentional wellness.

- Duration: Longer activities generally earn more points, though intensity also matters.
- Effort: Activities requiring significant discipline may warrant higher points.
- Personal Value: Tailor the protocol to your individual needs and preferences.
By intentionally allocating time to prioritize your well-being, you'll enhance your capacity to lead effectively and live a more fulfilling life. It is not selfish to take care of yourself, it is required.
