Schedule Sensei is not hype. It is a calm weekly rhythm that survives work, school, snow nights, and “we forgot we had that thing.” For the full concept, read the hub post: Schedule Sensei.
This page is the template. Copy paste it. Put it in your calendar. Done.
Schedule Sensei is a two day weekly rhythm plus a reset rule.
What “Schedule Sensei” means in one sentence
Pick two weekly class slots, lock them in, and stop renegotiating with yourself every day. Two days per week is the base plan and minimum effective dose for momentum.
Step 1: Pick your lane (Kids, Teens, Adults)
At Sensei Sandy BJJ, the weekly times are simple in Tannersville: Kids 4:00 PM, Teens 5:00 PM, Adults 6:00 PM. See the full weekly grid here: See Sensei Sandy Schedule.
Location: 6045 Main Street, 2nd Floor Studio, Tannersville, NY 12485.
Step 2: Choose your base plan (2 days)
Pick one of these and stick with it for 4 weeks.
- Base Plan A (Most common): Monday + Wednesday
- Base Plan B (Great for busy families): Tuesday + Friday
- Base Plan C (Ski season friendly): One weekday + Saturday block
If you can only do one day this week, do not quit. Keep the calendar events anyway. Next week you go back to two.
Step 3: Copy paste these calendar templates
Make a repeating event for each class day.
Template 1: Adults (18+)
Event title:
Schedule Sensei BJJ (Adults) 6:00 PM
Location:
Sensei Sandy BJJ, 6045 Main Street, 2nd Floor Studio, Tannersville NY
Notes (copy paste):
Arrive 10 min early.
Wear athletic clothes (no zippers). Bring water.
Leave-the-house alarm: 5:35 PM (adjust for your drive).
Goal today: show up + learn 1 detail.
If plans change: reschedule by text.
Schedule Sensei rule: never “start over,” just reset.
Template 2: Teens (10 to 17)
Event title:
Schedule Sensei BJJ (Teens) 5:00 PM
Notes (copy paste):
Arrive 10 min early.
Bring water. No jewelry.
Leave-the-house alarm: set it for the moment we must stand up and go.
Goal today: calm posture + clean reps.
If we miss: use the 24-hour reset (below).
Template 3: Kids (5 to 9)
Event title:
Schedule Sensei BJJ (Kids) 4:00 PM
Notes (copy paste):
Arrive 10 min early.
Bring water. Tie hair back.
Parent note: effort > winning.
Car ride question: “What was one thing you did better today?”
If we miss: keep the next class. No guilt.
Template 4: Family plan (siblings, cousins, busy weeks)
This is the “no arguing” plan.
- Pick two fixed days.
- Same two days every week.
- No weekly voting.
- Make one shared family calendar called: Schedule Sensei.
- Add events for each kid and adult who trains.
Step 4: Set the only reminder that matters
The Leave-the-House Alarm
Set one alarm for the exact moment you must stand up, put shoes on, and go. Not “class starts soon.” Not “maybe I will go.” Leave the house.
If you want a simple walk-in checklist, use the Show-Up Kit.
Step 5: The Schedule Sensei Reset (missed a week?)
This is the part that keeps people training for years.
For the full reset protocol, use the dedicated guide.
The 24-hour rule
If you miss a class, reset within 24 hours. Keep the next class on the calendar, do not wait for a perfect week, and do not punish yourself with extra workouts. Return to rhythm.
The minimum week (when life is chaos)
If the week is messy, your win condition is one class. One class keeps the habit alive. Next week return to two.
Snow days, travel weeks, and ski season
If you live near Hunter, Tannersville, or you do NY-23A drives, your schedule will get weird sometimes. That is normal.
Snow day rule: If roads feel unsafe, skip the drive and use the reset rule. The habit is not never miss. The habit is always return.
Travel week rule: Keep the calendar event even if you cannot attend. Your brain still sees “this is who I am,” then you reset on the next available class.
Common mistakes (that break consistency)
- Starting with 4 days a week, then burning out
- Changing days every week
- Waiting to feel “in shape”
- Treating training like an optional task
You do not need more motivation. You need a plan that removes daily decisions.
Schedule Sensei FAQ
What is Schedule Sensei?
Schedule Sensei is a simple weekly rhythm: pick two class days, set one reminder that works, and use a reset rule when life gets busy.
Is two days per week enough for Schedule Sensei to work?
Yes. Two days builds momentum without burnout. Once two days feels normal for four weeks, you can consider adding a third day.
What if I can only do one day this week?
Do one day and keep your calendar events in place. The win is staying in the habit, not being perfect.
What is the Schedule Sensei reset rule?
If you miss a class, reset within 24 hours by keeping the next class on the calendar. No guilt, no starting over, just return to the rhythm.
What reminder should I use for Schedule Sensei?
Use a leave the house alarm. Set it for the exact moment you need to stand up and go, not the class start time.
How does Schedule Sensei work during snow days or bad weather?
If roads feel unsafe, skip the drive and use the reset rule. The habit is always returning, not never missing.
Can Schedule Sensei work for kids with lots of activities?
Yes. Pick two consistent days that are usually open and protect them. If you miss one, keep the next class and stay calm.
Can Schedule Sensei work for teens with sports seasons?
Yes. Keep the two day base plan during the season, then add a third day only when recovery and school load allow it.
When should I add a third day to Schedule Sensei?
After four steady weeks of two days. Add one day for two weeks, then decide if it helps or just adds stress.
What should I bring for my first Schedule Sensei class?
Wear athletic clothes with no zippers, bring water, and arrive 10 minutes early. If you are in Tannersville, check class times on the schedule page.
