A planning process can be a foundation to working smarter not harder. We are all individuals and I regularly see people trying to fit themselves into a planning system that someone else loves and has recommended that completely misses the mark for their thinking and planning style. This does not mean you aren't good at planning, it means you haven't found the system that works best for you yet.
This planning template is not intended to be a one size fits all planner. I believe that there is no one single best planning system. The best system is the one YOU will actually use. I share this template freely with email subscribers and clients so you can try a planning process for yourself. The only way to work out the planning system that works for you is to give planning a go and see what best supports you. We don't learn to drive in a parked car, its the same for improving our effectiveness!
This planning template is designed to build in regular review processes, a vital part of any effective planning process is making time to review, notice our progress (not just all the things we haven't done yet!) adjust and stay on track. Give it a try and see how it fits for you. It's a large document so while you are in trial mode I suggest saving paper by printing and printing the first three months to start with to see how this style of planning feels and works for you.
