The official week of planning!

This week is the official week of planning (according to me)! You are the project manager of your life!

Taking the time between Christmas Day and New Year 's Eve to plan for the year is a great use of time. Many people take this time off to recoup from the holiday season. I think taking the time to play project manager of your own life is really important. 

Here are some steps you can take to set up an awesome 2018:

1. Get a notebook - I prefer a planner with lots of notes pages - and get your thoughts out of your head.
2. Create clear, defined, and attainable goals for the year, the quarter, the next month. 
3. Break down goals into action steps you can take.
   
4. Create reminders (I use sticky notes) so you look at your goals daily.

Here are some examples of clarifying your goals:
A - Goal: Buy an RV 
      Defined Goal: Buy a 2000 or newer 24ft bumper pull RV with lots of room for storage and 1 popout before May 1st

B - Goal: Get out of unsecured debt
      Defined Goal: Pay off x credit card with x balance with tax return. Pay off x medical bill with x balance with bonus in July. Pay off x with x balance by paying x monthly.

C - Goal: Get down to pre-baby weight
      Defined Goal: Eat ketogenic diet with one cheat day per week until back to 155# (Lose 1# per week until June)
