Everies Reminder 1, 30 June 2015

A.           Quarter 2 Review
(In calendar quarters – it was Quarter 4 in the financial year of July - June) 

This is a fast way to do personal planning. If you have a favourite method already, use that & follow these steps as guidelines. Either way, make a plan!

1. Quickly review progress on any plans you'd had for the last 3 months.
2. Make a few dot-point notes in your diary or in a special 2015 Progress Logbook.
3. Consider any new resolutions or goals & jot more notes.
4. Take a ‘during’ snapshot, whether in pictures or a few descriptive words. Use benchmarks that suit your own aims, whether health, savings, clutter reduction, or whatever.

Go for a brisk walk, or dance, exercise, do vigorous housework – any physical exertion.
(Please don’t skip this step. It’s really helpful for writing step B in the best frame of mind.)

B.           Quarterly Plan – July to September. 

1. Put some order into the notes you jotted down, using numbering, highlighting, etc., so it starts to take shape and give you ideas.
2. From this, write out a clearer plan for the rest of 2015.
3. Work out the steps you’ll be able to finish in July, August & September.
4. Write these in your diary on realistic deadlines.
   THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART -- DIARISE & KEEP YOUR APPOINTMENTS WITH YOURSELF.
   (Yes, I was shouting, but not in anger. I was cheerleading :-)

Yay! Mark the break between Quarters by doing something on your favourite resolution, just for fun.
