Planning Strategically

Many Planning Strategies work hand-in-hand and often overlap one another in core intent and purpose. However, by labeling which strategies are working for you, we’re able to identify the specific methods and circumstances that are best for your unique lifestyle and can refer back to them time after time.

As opposed to a worksheet, this lesson's tool is this resource page!

Planning strategies - Why they work - How you can implement them

If/ Then Habits

Example:

Since going for a walk was the goal, when you went to retrieve your package, you took the initiative to walk to the office instead of drive.

”If” you have a package to pick up (and a goal to go for a walk) “Then” walk to get your package

Decomposition - the process of breaking a large, complex goal or project into smaller, more manageable, and logically defined subtasks

Example:

When an order is placed, type the following on your Google Sheets Calendar:

• 7 days prior to bake date - Prep dry ingredients for (order name)
• 1-2 days prior to bake date - Prep cream icing for (order name)
• Bake date - Finalize order for (order name)
