In today’s video I wanted to share with you how I start my weekly planning process in my Sterling Ink N1 Common Planner. I like to begin by taking a look at the previous week in order to help me plan the current week.
Oh my I got completly confused on your choice of words :). Goals for me are long-term and usually annual/monthly, priorities are weekly/daily to support the annual goals. I defined my 3 annual goals in November (because December is so busy and I need my head ready for working on goals from 1st of January!) so that I have plenty of time to develop a loose 12-monthly strategy for each, as each is made up of many activities/tasks to complete the overall goal. I love hearing you thinking through your planning, thank you for sharing. PS: next year, I am going to trial focusing on quarterly goals, or maybe start midway this year, I have a feeling it could be easier to focus on 1 main topic over 3 months where possible.
Hi Froufou! I see why it could be confusing because I call everything a “goal”, when technically some things are a “task”, a “project” or maybe a “to-do”. Because I have the tendency to overthink, which slows me down, I take the guesswork out of what it is I want to achieve. I hope I explained that well. Thank you so much for watching!
I love this planner and I'm thinking about getting it this year or next year to have a clean start. Also, I would love to know how you break down your writing sessions in your planner as a video of its own. I'm a writer myself and I'm trying to get back into a flow of it but I feel like I don't know how to plan it in my planner lol. I'm starting at the very beginning with working on creating my first draft.
I can certainly keep that in mind, but I’m writing the stories of my life, and it’s really hard to do. Basically, I’m just vomiting out the words, then going back in to revise and proofread. I make it a goal every week to work on my books and haven’t done so yet because it’s too hard. Once I have overcome this obstacle, I should be able to give tips, but right now , I’m struggling too!
