  5 Steps to help you plan a great week Step 1 - Set a date and time to plan your week ahead.  For example, on a Sunday afternoon or evening.  Step 2 - Write down your goals for the week: Personal and Professional.  Then make a list of tasks that will help you achieve those goals. This is essentially your To-Do list for the week. Step 3 - Prioritise Decide which tasks are the most important and aim to do them earlier in the week Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday so that you can get them out of the way. Then use the remainder of the week to do more mundane tasks, allowing your brain to rest.  Tip: Colour code your list to show importance. E.g - red, amber or green.  Step 4 - Schedule time for everything.  Put both your personal and professional appointments in your diary. That way you can clearly see the amount of time you spend on the different areas of your life. Adjust when you see an imbalance or when necessary.   Step 5 - Create a weekly routine. Once you know the tasks that you do or

To be more organised you need to prioritise what is important to you. I prioritise tasks in order of importance - that way the important things get done first. Being organised helps you to: Be more focused Be calmer and in control Get things done Manage your time better When you are better organised you are able to be consistent and productive with your tasks. Two things that have helped me get started with being more organised are planning and having a diary. You can use your diary to schedule everything: work, appointments, business tasks, social events, networking, time with family and even your free time. I schedule everything in my diary because it gives me a clear visual representation of what I’m doing and when. Planning Planning is an effective way to guarantee that the things you want to do will get done. It helps you stay organised and productive. Some things to think about when planning: What are your current goals? What are your core values? What is important to you? (your

Overwhelm usually comes with a whole host of other feelings and behaviours. Feeling stressed, stuck and procrastinating. We want to banish this lot and have some progress in our lives. Here are 5 steps that will help you be more productive. Step 1 - Set a Goal When we're feeling overwhelmed, there are other feelings that come along with it feeling stressed, feeling stuck, and not being able to stay focused. These stop us from moving forward and having progress in our lives. You have no structure or plan and you just don’t know what to do next, or even where to begin. Start with the end in mind by setting yourself a goal. What do you really want? Do you want to have more time, money or confidence? Do you want to be more focused and be able to see progress in your life? Take some time to reflect on these things and write them down, this will help you formulate your goal. Step 2 - Have a Clear Plan Once you’ve set a goal, you can break it down into smaller steps. This will be your pla

My personal development journey began when I got tired of always being late for most things. I couldn't seem to accurately measure how much time I needed for travel and getting ready - I always assumed that it wouldn't take me that long. And I hugely underestimated the unpredictability of public transport, hence the need to allow for extra delays. Last month I went live and spoke about the process I go through to plan and schedule my week.

If you ever wondered how I got my life together, it’s with the help of printables, calendars and my diary. I’ve been crazy about printables for about 5 years now and this is how it all began. Life before Printables When I started my personal development journey, I would write everything down. I had at least 3 notebooks in my bag to keep track of everything. I had lots of To-Do lists, one for every day, one for the week and one for the month. I was writing a new list every day even though I hadn’t completed the last one. I didn’t even have a diary at the time, so I created my own timetable with pen and paper. (I don’t know how I survived without a diary) This was my way of clearing my mind of all the clutter. Then one day I was reading about female entrepreneurs and I stumbled upon Michelle Rohr’s blog: https://www.secretowlsociety.org/ This lady has created a very profitable business selling printables online - I was fascinated by her story and I loved all the free printables she was
