I used the manual Franklin Planner tools to plan for many years, then moved to an electronic version of the same tool while it was available. Once you have a weekly plan, revise it daily, and schedule the work each day so that it gets done.Let me be clear here – plan for the entire week, not just 1 day. Once you know what you need to do, make a plan for the coming week.Don’t let your email inbox control your day (or worse, week or month or year, or life).You need 1 list of things to do for the day – don’t try to manage personal tasks in a different list to your work tasks.Urgent and important tasks are easy, not urgent and important tasks are much harder (for most people). It’s not enough to simply plan each day – you need a longer planning horizon if you want to get the right stuff done.įocus your time on what is important as well as what is urgent.There are a few key principles that I learnt from the resources above that I still use in my personal productively planning, specifically: The Key Principles I Use for Good Planning I plan my day to ensure that I “just do it”.I plan my week to make sure I get the most important things done.I just focus on what I need to work on now and give myself headspace to not think about everything else.

The Benefits I Extract from My Approach to Planning I highly recommend this book (and also the Franklin Planner by the Covey Corporation if you are in to paper based planning tools). ![]() I wasn’t always good managing my work effort, at least until I read the book “ The 10 Natural Laws of Successful Time and Live Management” by Hyrum Smith. This is an off topic post for me (ie not Power BI), but then again – who doesn’t want to be more productive, right?
