Planning for enhanced productivity doesn’t exactly sound like a bundle of fun.

But it can be…

Letting your mind run free in several attractive futures can be really exciting and inspirational. And when that plan slowly starts coming together … wow! … awesome feeling 🙂

Let’s see where that feeling comes from.

The checklist

• Smart work.
  • Proper prior planning is the difference between the hard daily grind and smart inspiring progress.
  • Planning should happen in on three distinct timescales: days, months and years. 
• Daily planning.
  • Everyone should have a daily to-do list. 
  • Google Tasks offers the three key features of a good to-do list: user-friendly, always accessible, recurring tasks. 
• Monthly planning.
  • Monthly planning is about coordination with others, coherence over time, and getting interesting ideas out of your head.
  • A Gantt chart in Google Sheets next to Google Tasks is just the right tool for the job. 
• Long-term planning.
  • This plan keeps you pointed in the right direction year in and year out. 
  • Over a couple of decades, such consistent progress can take your life to awesome places 🙂 

Planning enlightens, entertains, and elevates your perspective. It also informs, inspires, and improves your performance.  

Plan consistently, plan smartly, and plan patiently. 

Your future self will be forever grateful.
