A 60 to 90 minute weekly planning session, best done Sunday evening, walks you through what worked last week, what didn't, and what to start, stop, or keep doing. List your 3 to 5 wins, review the commitments you actually made, then decide what changes for next week.
On a weekly basis, it requires about 60, maybe 90 minutes. Where you're going to put in your calendar. Recurring weekly planning session. Mine is on Sunday evening. Some prefer, which can be a little bit risky, right. If you haven't planned your weekend properly and you're not able to disconnect for 90 minutes on a Sunday evening. So some of our members do it before church when everything is quiet or in the middle of the afternoon on Sunday, not Monday morning. That's like not. That's a way to make sure you're not successful using this system. So but here's what the questions you're going to answer during this weekly planning session. The biggest wins from the last seven days. This is where we celebrate your successes. So three to five major accomplishments in the week prior. So Sunday evening you're looking Monday through Sunday is our reporting period. Just write out your major accomplishments, things you're grateful for, wins, how you move forward in business or life, those sorts of things then. And this will make sense here in a second. You're going to update, you could do this in a journal format. You're going to update how you did on the commitments you made from last week's planning session. It'll make sense in a minute here. So, and you just writing like you, you probably had up to six things that you're going to commit to for the week. Things that have to get done to move closer towards that three year vision, right. And you're just going to comment on them and then you ask the question, what's working and what's not working? What went really well this past week and what didn't go so well this past week? And then the last question on a weekly review is what, what you're going to start or stop doing? What will you keep improve, start or stop doing? So what what worked, what didn't work? What things are you going to eliminate? Right. It could be personal, it could be tv, it could be social media, those sorts of things. And what things are you going to start or keep doing? Maybe you started going for a walk every day or started intermittent fasting, which I am doing, which is working great for me. You know, maybe you started working out or you know, maybe you need to stop doing some things like having caffeine late in the day. I did that the other day and I couldn't sleep. So that's kind of the setup for this weekly planning session.
