What is your planning style

What’s Your Planning Style? James C. Galvin, Ed.D.

Everyone has a scheduling or planning system of some kind

In a new job, old ways of planning might not work as well as before

Today you have a chance to rethink your current planning habits

You’re busier now but wondering if you’re really making a difference

You want to regain control of your work and life while making a difference

Plan your work and life the way God uniquely wired you to plan

What solution do you currently use for time and life management?

We benefit by reflecting on our multiple callings as we make plans

Exodus 20:9-10 “ Six days you shall labor and do all your work… ”

Get in the habit of using a weekly review to link calling and schedule

When is the best time and place for your weekly review?

All people tend to plan using one of four planning styles

Objectives-Oriented planners tend to set goals, objectives, milestones

Domain and Direction planners tend to use strategic maps to move forward

Task-Oriented planners tend to make lists of everything they have to do

Present-Oriented planners tend to focus on what is happening now

What is your preferred planning style and your secondary style?

Your style affects your success in using other planning systems

Stephen Covey developed the planning system in First Things First

David Allen developed the planning system in Getting Things Done

John Nelson developed a new model for retirement planning

Why do we set up planning systems only to abandon them later?

You will be returning home to mild chaos and a hundred things to do

Plan your work and life the way God uniquely wired you to plan

You can reduce your busyness while increasing your effectiveness

Set up a 30-day experiment to test a new personal planning system
