Drawing up a plan for a certain period allows you not only to clearly understand the actions that need to be taken, but also to achieve results. Any to-do list implies getting something at the end, because there is a goal to which it leads. And if everything is planned correctly, the year will pass very effectively.
Instructions
Step 1
The year is the average period for which you can plan. It is not too large, since it is only 12 months or 365 days, as opposed to 10 years, but not too small, since it includes 52 weeks. It is impossible to draw up a detailed daily to-do list for this period, external circumstances will significantly affect, but it is possible to balance the weekly terms.
Step 2
First, you need to identify the purpose of planning. What should be the result? Someone will choose a material achievement, for example, a new car, some will think about education, and someone will judge the collected impressions. You can combine several goals, it is only important to understand their adequacy. For example, you can raise money for a car worth 3 million, but if the salary is 30 thousand rubles a month, then it will take more than one year, but at least 10 years to realize this. Try to choose aspirations that are achievable. Their cost may exceed your capabilities by 10-15%, and this will be an additional incentive, but you should not aim at very large things. If you do not plan to give up your dream, then make part of the desire - to collect a tenth of the cost of what is needed. But the goal should be specific, include a certain amount.
Step 3
Think about what it takes to make your plans come true? Write down a list of specific actions to be taken. Divide them by 12 months or 52 weeks. And start doing all this systematically. The smaller the step, for example 7 days, the more likely it is that the plan will come true. A person has a tendency to leave everything to the last moment. And it's better to do everything once a week, albeit in an emergency mode, than once a month. There will be failures when it fails. But with a lot of steps, it can be easier to make adjustments. Think of a pleasant reward for each completed stage. Remember that its cost should not interfere with the implementation of the goal, so please yourself, but do not take resources away from the main project.
Step 4
When planning the year, it is important to leave a place to rest. It could be a vacation or just a break that allows you to move on with more effort. You can even devote a month to this, but break it down into parts, for example, a week in the summer, a week in the fall, and two more breaks can be taken as needed. If you wish, you can combine them, but it is better not to use everything at the beginning of the year, as later you will also want to take a breath.
Step 5
As you plan for the coming year, pay attention to the literature on goal setting. There are technologies that help calculate the size of the goal, financial concepts of achievement, as well as the possibility of contingencies. This knowledge will help you go the way to the goal without much effort, as well as give examples of the results that other people were able to achieve. This will give you faith in the result and increase your motivation.
