How To Buy The Perfect Planner Of Your Dreams

I think you will agree with me that it is very difficult to see the value of investing in a planner every year when you only use 50% of all the different pages and sections that it offers. The problem is that many planners tend to be very generic and/or geared to the person who made it.  The truth is it took me years of completing planner after planner to realise that what I need this year would be different to what I needed 2 years ago. Once I started getting results and fully utilising daily, weekly and monthly planners did I realise that it is very possible that every person will set goals differently and will have a different way of using planners. The impact of using a planner really increased my success rate of accomplishing projects over and over again. It saved me a lot of time and moved me by leaps and bounds in my blog and business. In this post, I am going to teach you how to use 15 different planner features that will not only save you time but take you from procrastinating to goal achievement. Project Based Planning One of the ways I was able to achieve my goals quickly is by using my planner to achieve goals based on projects rather than looking at it from a monthly goal. At first, this may not seem to make sense but look at it from this perspective. Say I wanted to launch a podcast I know I would need content and technology as well as listeners to get me there. I would first look at the content that I am comfortable at producing together with my passion.  I will work on my mindmap to produce the skeleton of the content for 3-6 months. When I do that I have not set any deadlines yet as I want to not feel too pressured to launch until I get the technology arranged. I look at all the technology available from microphones to podcast hosting to available budget and even podcast coaching. Project Kick-Off I wait until I am 50% or more of the way there and then I start entering things into my planner.  One main reason that I use this approach is that many times I have to wait for other people to switch on the technology before I go live. We all live in a society where we are dependent on other people to do their part in order for us to take us to the next stage of our project. For example, I needed a logo and social media images that were made by other people.  I also needed to use podcast editing software to get me through post-production. There are other things like getting accepted into iTunes and other podcasting directories that can take some time. As I decided to do guest interviews I needed to wait for other people's diaries to get the perfect timing. In some cases, the technology does not work the way you want it to so you may need to record the show again or higher someone else to make it sound good. It has been a year since I started my podcast and it is shocking that I got this far but I have to say it is because I treated it like a project rather than the normal to do list.

Monthly Goal Planner Everyone works differently and are more productive at different times of the day compared to other people.  When it comes to monthly goals my preference is to work on one or two projects a month. The reason why I limit myself so much is that life still needs to happen in the background.  Stuff like eating sleeping, doing the laundry, cleaning up the house, working, grocery shopping, etc., still needs to get done. In my monthly goal planner,
