4-2-1 PLANNING

Benelux Judge Conference 2013

Who is planning to do a L2 or L3 test in the near future?

Anyone here planning for a big event, like a GP or PTQ?

When planning for these you likely have a ton of things to do, maybe have an action list. Or two. And some emails?

Let’s try if we can get more structure in your actions and planning…

Plans & actions

Starting with goals

“Begin with the end in mind”

Stephen R. Covey

Start with the end objective of your goals and break it in pieces

Never loose focus on the end goal

• Example:

• You are planning for an L2 test at your next PTQ. While preparing you find an interesting discussion about running GPTs at local stores.

“Getting things done”

How to deal with “stuff”:

• Collect your stuff in 1 place • Decide what to do with it • Organize the actions: action list – store – trash – do immediately • Review (weekly or daily) • Follow action list • Keep up, rinse, repeat

Google it!
