How to Plan Your Week (to get so much more done)

In this video, I go through a step-by-step detailed process for planning the week effectively.  It's a very helpful video that will show you how you live more intentionally by planning ahead based on your overarching goals and needs.

For overall planning, you can use a piece of paper, a whiteboard on your wall, or Microsoft Excel.  We start with big overarching goals then backward plan from there.  I show you how.  The week cannot be planned as effectively as possible unless you know what your top 3 or so priorities are in your life…what big things you want to achieve and accomplish (short-term or long-term).  Ideas (other than what I have listed):
Family
Friendships/network
Fun
Rest
Education
Mental health
Living arrangements/lifestyle
What kinds of things should I be doing each week, Monday through Sunday, to live an intentional life that’s focused on achieving goals (whatever those may be)?
The top priorities in your life must take the most time.  For instance, I can’t spend an hour a day cleaning my home because it’s not a top priority/goal right now.  You have to think about these things very carefully as you plan your week.  I write each of the daily actions in my planner (I use paper, not digital, but that’s up to you).  It’s a preference.  You can also use daily checklists and cross items off as you finish them.  It’s important to cross off because those small “wins” or accomplishments boost your self-esteem and sense of accomplishment.  I use Microsoft Excel because it’s an organized and systematic way of planning my month, week, and day to get A LOT MORE accomplished than I would without a plan.
