KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Nick uses a journal so that he can release all his thoughts into a tangible form. Once they’re out, you can begin to arrange and prioritise them. Evernote is a very useful note-taking app that extends across many platforms and syncs perfectly. Set time aside before Monday, so that you can shape your week.
- Not only should you plan the tasks you have coming up, but also the people you’d like to spend time with. Family? Friends? Mentors? Whoever it is, make sure you plan time for each of them in your week ahead.
- Personal development time should be planned in advance. This may be physical exercise, or mental stimulation, but setting aside time for development is essential. By combining two forms (audiobooks while exercising) you can get even more done.
- Scheduling - Some people use a calendar for this, which is fine. Nick uses Google Calendar, which is very helpful when it comes to reminders. Schedule your high priority items first.
- Leave space in your calendar for surprises. Life is full of them, and believe it or not, you have to plan for the unplanned things, too!
- Resourcing - There’s no sense in scheduling things for yourself and then turning up unprepared. If you have something big coming up, set time aside for preparation.
- Look at yourself a week in advance and “reverse engineer” your week ahead, by visualising how you want it to go. Try to see how it feels having achieved your goals before you achieve them.
- Celebrate what you’ve achieved. You need to tick the box, yes, but make sure you reflect on the things you’ve done well. Reward yourself!
