April 2026 will take a slightly different approach to the 30-Day Challenge. Each day of the month, I’ll be participating in the 30-Day Tai Chi Coach4aday Challenge. What will be different this time is that my daily posts won’t be limited to that day’s exercises—I want the freedom to share more spontaneous and wide-ranging thoughts along the way.

I will still include the focus of each day’s Tai Chi routine, but much of what I write may explore topics far removed from exercise. Just as Tai Chi is designed to improve flexibility, I hope my writing reflects that same sense of openness and adaptability each day. For Day 28 my focus is on creating a STOP LIST.

“Tai Chi” 30 Day Challenge

Searching online for a 30-Day program brought me face to face with lots of options but I have chosen a plan led by Dr Alan Potts PT. You can download the schedule I am utilizing at this link.

It looks like this.

Challenge Guidelines

  1. View the daily video and mirror what you see.
  2. Complete all 30 daily exercises

April 28th-Stop List

There are not many individuals that I have attempted to assist with some aspect of leadership coaching that are not aware of the power of a daily To Do List. Many are surprised when I encourage them to think about combining that with a to STOP LIST.

A To Do list is about action and progress: tasks, goals, priorities. It keeps you moving. But over time, these lists tend to grow, and without limits, they can lead to overload and scattered focus.

A Stop List does the opposite—it protects your time and energy. It identifies habits, tasks, or commitments that are unnecessary, outdated, or draining. By removing what no longer serves you, it creates space for what actually matters.

The real value is in using both together. A To Do list without a Stop List can lead to burnout. A Stop List without a To Do list can lead to drift. But when you pair them, you get clarity

Coach4aday

My purpose in life is to coach. I am a former collegiate basketball coach, director of athletics, and chief of staff. I worked at four NCAA Division I & II universities during my career. At each campus I learned timeless lessons on teamwork and leadership. Today my passion is coaching others on what it takes to lead, serve, and succeed.
