I'm back from holiday and all fired up and ready to finish off the last 3 months of year. Well, I will be once I get over the cough and cold I bought
back with me!
As we head into the final quarter of the year, here's your reminder set aside some time to plan and review the next 90 days.
Review and assess your progress:
- What have you achieved so far? Acknowledge your successes each month as well as any areas for improvement.
- What worked, what didn't? Not everything goes according to plan but that's OK as long as recognise where you and what's needed.
- What learnings or insights have you had? Do you need to do more or less of something, do you need to refocus or simplify your priorities?
- What do you need to change, adapt or start doing?
Decide on your priorities and objectives:
- Create clear measurable priorities aligned with your goals for the year. Have you changed or adapted them as a result of the last quarter?
- Organise them into importance, significance and the time and resources you'll need to achieve them.
- Simplify - are you trying to do too much. Do you have conflicting priorities. Pick one!
Create an action plan, by month and week:
- Break down your
priorities and objectives into step by step action with milestones for each month.
- Schedule the time into your planner and allocate the resources you'll need.
- What obstacles, blocks might come up in the next few months?
Implement your plan:
- Work on your actions week-by-week.
- Review your progress against your milestones.
- Keep your goals and objectives in mind as you do this.
- Adjust and adapt as you need to. Flexibility is important.
Accountability & Support:
- Build your support network and share your goals and action plan so the added accountability will
keep you focused.
- You'll also have somewhere to discuss challenges and brainstorm ideas to keep you on track.
Whether it's a colleague, mentor or coach, an online or face to face group or network, accountability can make the difference to how focused you are and how much you achieve.
Come and join me on Zoom next week for a free 90 Day Planning Session where we'll use the 90 Day Planning Tool to map out the next few month.
