Well folks I am a little late with this post as I spent a loooong weekend in Lancaster, PA attending a conference of the Sabian Assembly. We had a nice time and the meeting was very productive, but it did show what confusion and entanglements can occur when you don't have a plan. Or for that matter when you don't pay attention to the plan you have.
In developing a plan, whether it is for a large organization or for yourself, you must consider the issues as newsreporters do. They want to get the facts, just the facts m'am, that identify everything about the issue that they are dealing with. This is easily done by answering the questions what, when, where, how and in the case of your plan especially, why. These questions lead you to a mission statement which serves to guide you and keep you focused on your goal or purpose. The details of the answers to those questions gives the description of your plan.
For instance... "I want to lose weight in a way that will slim me down so that I can wear my new fall outfit and look slimmer and trimmer."
What? To lose a definite 10 pounds
When? By my birthday in October of this year
Where? At the kitchen table and in the gym/pool
How? By a measured diet and a regular exercise schedule
(specify the diet and list the days in gym/pool)
Why? So I can feel energetic and look slimmer and younger (LOL)
If it works for you...please let us know. You can comment below.
