Slamming Style: How WWE's Event Calendar Became My Life Coach (Kind Of)

23 Jul 2024

Okay, hear me out. You know how everyone's obsessed with planners and bullet journals and basically having their life scheduled down to the minute? I get it, I do, but sometimes it feels a little... much. Like, I love a good color-coded spreadsheet as much as the next person, but where's the spontaneity? Where's the room for, I don't know, *life* to happen?

So, I've been thinking about alternative ways to approach this whole "organized life" thing, and then it hit me: WWE. Yes, World Wrestling Entertainment, that glorious spectacle of athleticism, drama, and sequins. More specifically, their event calendar. Hear me out, because this is actually kind of genius.

WWE has this whole system figured out. They've got their big "tentpole" events, like WrestleMania and SummerSlam – think of them like your big-picture goals for the year, the things you're really working towards. Then, there are the monthly pay-per-views, smaller but still significant events that keep the momentum going. These are your monthly targets, mini milestones that keep you motivated on the road to the bigger prize.

And let's not forget the weekly shows, Raw and SmackDown. These are your everyday hustle, the consistent effort you're putting in to make it all happen. Just like those WWE Superstars putting on a show week after week, you're out there grinding, honing your craft, and making those gains (figuratively, of course, unless you're actually hitting the gym, then you go!).

But what really makes this whole system sing is the anticipation. WWE is a masterclass in building hype. They drop hints, plant seeds, and create storylines that have you counting down the days until the next big event. It's like having a built-in system of mini-deadlines and rewards, a constant stream of "I can't wait for..." moments sprinkled throughout your year.

Think about it: wouldn't it be amazing to approach your own life with that kind of enthusiasm? To have those moments you're working towards, those events you're buzzing about, those milestones you're itching to crush?

Advantages and Disadvantages of Planning Your Year Like a WWE Event Calendar

Okay, I know what you're thinking: isn't this a little... extra? Maybe. But is it fun? Absolutely. Plus, it actually has some surprising benefits:

Advantages	Disadvantages
Built-in motivation and excitement	Potential for burnout if not balanced properly
Clear goals and milestones to work towards	May feel too structured for some personalities
Promotes consistency and regular effort	Requires discipline and planning to maintain

So, there you have it. Maybe it's a little unconventional, but there's something undeniably compelling about approaching your year with the same level of anticipation and excitement as a WWE pay-per-view schedule. Who knows, you might even discover a hidden talent for trash-talking your to-do list into submission. Now that's what I call a power move.
