When you run a business there are multiple things that need your attention and when that happens you are bound to get pulled in multiple directions and some tasks will be left unattended to, so it becomes extremely important to plan your day properly. Here are a few tips to make sure every week is planned to perfection:

1. Productivity hack that will
help you live a successful life

2. Plan A Day For Planning
Start picking a day which is comfortable for you
to plan the entire week ahead. Dedicate each day
to a core task keeping in mind all the need based
work that may spring up. It will help you be
consistent and in completing all your task in
a smooth sailing way.

3. A Place to get Organized
Everyone has a place that makes them feel calm and positive,
on the day you do all your planning visit that place and work
from there. You will be able to organize better if you are
surrounded by a positive environment it is easy to focus and
get the work done. Try to make sure that the place you
choose is not your home and is outside like a park bench so
that you get that daily dose of fresh air as well.

4. Brainstorm Projects/Goals
When you are running a business there are multiple goals you need to
achieve, it helps to break them down and prioritize according to the time
each project needs. These goals that you set for yourself should in the
end help achieve your yearly business plans. It does not have to be a
major goal even the smaller goals need prioritization which leads to you
achieving the bigger goals easily. Set Measurable Goals

5. Make sure the goals
can be measured
While setting weekly goals make sure that
they can be measured at the end of the day. It
does not make sense to set a goal that says “I
will make sure the sales are more” because
there is no quantitative measurement for it,
instead of that make it “I will sell 30 more
products” which is way easier to check. At the
end of the week when you sit down to make a
tally of your goals, counting the number of
products sold will be much easier to tick off
the list, hence, making your life way more
organized.

6. Set Deadlines
Set deadlines for yourself, this goes hand-in-hand with
setting measurable goals. If you are going to post on Twitter
5 times or build a bench when should those things be
completed by? Personally, I’d take it one step further and set
a daily activity goal of “1 Twitter Post Today.” Deadlines help
you manage time wisely and give you urgency to complete
the goals you have set for yourself.

Challenge
Yourself:
If you’re new to planning or have just
started a business don’t overwhelm
yourself and set unrealistic
expectations. Start slow. Schedule in what
you know you can do and then one or two
things that push you. Try to challenge
yourself every week by setting a higher
goal or doing an additional task, make sure
you are capitalizing on your full potential
every week.

8. Review Results
When you sit down to do your weekly planning make sure to start
with reviewing your results from the week before. Did you hit
your sales goal? Did you finish the bench? Did you post on Twitter
5 times? Celebrate your successes and note your opportunities.
Analyze why certain tasks got completed while maybe others
didn’t, did you plan too much for your week or did you just not
manage your time well – what was the cause of this effect. Now
that you have reviewed your previous week it’s time to plan the
current week!
In the end, it is all about making sure that you are not
overwhelmed by all the work and responsibility and have time to
enjoy all the success that comes your way!
