![]() Block times on your weekly spread/calendar for the things you can NOT move around (day job, kids activities, etc.).I have a video just on that topic if you want to dive deeper into it, right here.Įach week, use your weekly spread (an example of the Maker’s Roadmap spread below but you could use the “notes” section of any other planner too) to remind yourself of the project you are working on this month, to keep them front and center. You are now entering the day-to-day, very practical part of this system: when and how will you manage to fit in all of your tasks into your already busy schedule? Of course, you won’t be able to know each step of each project before you actually get started, but try your best and as you start working on it, keep using your task planner to break down each step into small action-steps and estimate how long each will take (I recommend always x1.5 what you think it will take, for product research/development, content, and product photography x2). I have a blog and video just on that topic if you’re interested in learning more or seeing me doing it right here. Here again, you can use a blank piece of paper, a spreadsheet, an app, whatever works for you but the idea is to break down the projects you are committing to into as many tasks and subtasks as possible. It’s time to get into the practical aspect of this system, so you not only know what to do but also have an actionable plan to get it done. Now you should be super clear on what projects you will be taking on board this quarter and what are your priorities. Seeing a full year at a glance also makes you realize that even if you skipped 10 days, you still have plenty of time to get back on track and start coloring green again. This is simply a way to keep you on track and accountable and to look at the big picture. It is perfectly fine to skip days and to have red dots. ![]() Remember, this isn’t about coloring every day green. ![]() I color green if I do 30 minutes or more, yellow if I do less than that, red if I didn’t stretch at all.īy the end of the year, you will be able to look back and see what color dominates. My one this year? Stretching (for my back). Grab 3 color pencils and color at the end of each day accordingly. Once you’ve picked your daily goal, define what is green (=achieved or overachieved), yellow (underachieved) and red (=failed). Try things like “do one hour of yoga” or “stretch for 15 minutes” or “meditate 10 mins” or “paint for 30mins”, etc. You can’t say “exercise” because that’s too vague meaning there’s a greater chance you won’t stick to it. You have to be REALLY specific for this one. Now that you’ve set a direction for the year to come by defining your vision, you should be able to find what ONE thing you want to commit to doing every day this year. This is something I borrowed from Elise Joy and I absolutely love this part of the system.
