Scrolling through your to-do list everything is important.
Project
Email
Calls
Proposal
Dinner
Expenses
Walk
The list goes on, as do your best efforts.
You KNOW you can get at least a dozen tasks done today.
But something unexpected happens.
7pm rolls around and you realize your emails took longer than you thought.
You never got to the proposal.
Your walk fell by the wayside.
Those dozen tasks you KNEW you’d get done? You only completed six.
Another day you’ve failed. Another day you remind yourself:
“I’ll always be behind.”
“I’ll never catch up.”
“Other people or things control my day.”
Let’s rewind, shall we? Go back in time and imagine it this way.
- You wake up feeling content.
- You plan the next step on your project from 9am -10am.
- You schedule three blocks to get through your email.
- You walk outside while returning phone calls during lunch.
- You schedule two hours to finish your proposal.
- You get home in time to make a healthy dinner.
And of the five tasks on your list, you completed ALL of them.
Another day you’ve succeeded. Another day you remind yourself:
“I always accomplish what I set out to do.”
“I’m so on top of things.”
“Can’t wait to see what I’ll get done tomorrow.”
And that might dear friend is the most important reason to know how to plan.
It builds your confidence.
It strengthens your self-esteem.
It makes you feel like a winner, not a loser.
When you make an impact on this ONE THING your motivation and inspiration skyrocket.
Are you ready to feel more successful than you have in weeks? Months? Likely years?
It’s not rocket science…but there is an art and science behind it.
There is a right way to plan that is doable, manageable, and rewarding.
There is also a wrong way to plan that is impractical, stressful, and unsuccessful.
I’ve seen so many women make things harder and more overwhelming for themselves than they need to.
They should feel uber-successful.
But they regularly feel depleted and frustrated.
Your daily and even hourly confidence is the cornerstone of how you show up, make decisions, and are perceived by others.
The way you plan and prioritize will hold you in a pattern of stuckness…
…or catapult you to the success you deserve.
