Keeping Plans on Track

Posted by on | |

You have plans and something always gets in the way. Another day has passed and you still have not started the project. Wait a minute, what was that project anyways? Yes again the big plan was aborted, it is so easy to get off track. Do we constantly sabotage ourselves on purpose? It is so much easier to get sidetracked and before you know it a week has passed then two.


When you have a big plan, breaking it down into very small plans, the process to get to the final results is much more attainable.


The thing is that you don't beat yourself up and then give up. We all do it, time and time again. Had these great plans and was staying on purpose, with time lines for certain projects. All was going right on schedule and then I took a break, next thing I find I am in a project that was going to take second place position. The problem now, the focus was gone. A break is one thing, but a memory lapse was not part of the overall plan.

To get back on track first and foremost you have to forgive yourself. Then reorganize the plan.Envision the end results, but don't get so caught up in this that you become so overwhelmed by the long road ahead. You need the big overall plan this will take you to the projected results.The big plan must now be broken down into smaller plans. If your end result will take years to achieve, then each plan should be divided into years, months, weeks and then daily plans. With a long plan you need to give yourself a break as in days off in the month and a few weeks off over each year. If you don't take the break you are likely to burnout and not ever finish.Some days you will feel like you have accomplished a great deal towards your goals. Other days you may feel like you are going in reverse. Even two steps backwards is a learning procedure, give yourself a break on this one. If you stop and analyze your daily activity you might find that you have covered a great deal of ground and more on course than you had first thought.
