the someday weekly plan
For a long time I planned my week every Sunday and the thing I wanted to build for myself still didn't get done. Not because I didn't want to do it. Because I was planning in the wrong order.
This one page helped my planning process to make sure I am including my full-time job, kids who need to be everywhere, and a business I'm building on the side.
four steps, in this order
- start with what's already decided. the anchors on your calendar, and the gaps between them.
- empty your head, then sort it. brain dump, what can move, and your someday project.
- pick one step and give it a place. one action, on a real day, with a time.
- plan for the leaks. the places your time keeps slipping, and one rule for each.
This process take about 15 minutes on a normal week.
My biggest lesson on the weeks that fall apart, getting to protect 30 minutes still counts.
every day. on purpose.
