Still Have Doubts About Planning?
For the next 3 days, before you leave the office at night,
take 5 minutes to make a list of what you’d like to get
done the next business day. Put a star next to the 3 most
important items, the ones that have to happen--or else. Now
leave that list on your desk so it’ll be the first thing
you see when you arrive at the office the next day.
At the end of 3 days, review your accomplishments. If you
don’t feel more in control, less stressed, more productive--then
go back to your old way of doing things. But if you’re
feeling better about your accomplishments and your workload,
try the planning experiment for another week. By then it may
be so much a part of your routine, it’ll be second nature,
and you won’t be able to imagine how you functioned without
it.
