Weekly Planning

It’s imperative to have a weekly plan of what you’ll achieve in the coming week. I would like to share my weekly planner with you because it has worked well for me for many years.

Weekly Action Plan

Create your own weekly action planner and ensure everyone in the organization utilizes and reviews with their leader weekly. This plan needs to designate days for action or completing prior tasks, cover critical weekly actions, and other areas of focus.

You’ll notice on my planner (e-mail Ken@Engage4Results.com) for a free copy and an E-Book free of the intro and first chapter of my new award winning book “The People Pill”
In the Planner I have an area to allocate days (or half days) to action, clean-up, or free time. I put this in place because I have a habit of doing something only 90 percent and then going on to something else!

Clean-up days are for finishing these projects, filing the finished results, or for more general time to clean and freshen the desk.

Free days are allocated to enable a number of things:

• If you work for yourself, they are a reminder not to work 24/7
• If you are a leader, they are a reminder to have free time to walk the floor or take time to have a few coffee breaks to really get to know what’s going on out there

Putting this plan in place will take no more than 30 minutes, and chances of completing weekly intentions will be dramatically increased.

I suggest that you have a daily “to do” list that is compiled at the end of each day while having your objectives on the weekly planner in mind. If you don’t do this now I can guarantee that if you do you will not only be more productive but you will also sleep better!
