Plan Your Best Week

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 need to do every week, it’s a good idea to allocate a date and time to do each task on a weekly basis. For example: personal goals, finances, errands, networking and other activities.

Extra Tips:

Use APPS on your mobile to help you plan

Calendar - to put in reminders for important events
Notepad - to add your to-do list, while on the go

The good thing about a calendar APP, is that you can share it with other people, so if you need to coordinate your schedules with someone else this is the perfect way to do so.

Also plan your outfits and meals for the week, this means no frantic mornings deciding what to wear (or is that just me)

Taking the time to plan ahead helps you to have more focus on what you want to achieve during the week.
