​​If you’re new to my community, a warm welcome to you! I’m so happy you’ve decided to join us!

Happy Tuesday!

It’s grey and overcast again this morning here in Central Ontario. I’m off to get my second shingles vaccine this morning and am hoping that my arm doesn’t hurt as badly as it did with the first one. I’ve got way too much work to do this week to deal with a sore arm!

We’re only 15 days away from the start of Q3. I can not believe how fast this year is flying by. Have you started planning for the second half of this year yet?

I’m getting itchy to start laying everything out. I have huge plans for the rest of this year and can’t wait to see how many of my goals I meet this year. If you haven’t started planning yet, and need some tips, today’s read might help…

Today’s Read: 6 Steps to Quarterly Planning for Increased Productivity

 Quarterly planning is a strategic productivity hack that organizes your goals and objectives into a 90-day action. This method is designed to help you accomplish more goals in less time.

 Here are six steps to get you started:

Step 1: Start with A Clear Vision

Define your idea of success, dreams, and aspirations you wish to achieve for your business. Visualize what you want for your business and life. If you have already developed a business plan, then this should be pretty easy to get started.

 Step 2: Set Your Dates

Choose the quarters you want to work in. Ideally, these quarters or 3-month periods should be set to make sense to your business and its processes. Keep in mind your busy seasons, when your customers have the most revenue or problems to solve, or any other important information that could affect the flow of business.

Most businesses and organizations use the quarterly schedule that follows the calendar year:

• Q1 – January 1 to March 31
• Q2 – April 1 to June 30
• Q3 – July 1 to September 30^th
• Q4 – October 1 to December 31^st

 In our low-content space, everything usually leads to Q4 as that’s when the sales are highest for calendars, planners and journals for the coming year.

Step 3: Outline Your Main Objective

Now that you have determined your quarter dates, you’ll want to develop three main objectives you wish to work on for the next three months that each can be accomplished within three to four weeks. These main objectives should get you close to your vision and idea of success that you set in step one.

Step 4: Create Action Steps, Deadlines, and Set Priority Levels

Develop three to four action steps that allow you to accomplish the main objective you set for that month. Be clear on the resources you need, any mindset work you need to do to stretch to your goals, your strengths, and weakness and what obstacles may get in your way.  Then set deadlines and a priority level of high, medium, or low. This way, you know which action to take to get you where you need to be and on time.

Step 5: Be Mindful and Keep Track

Be mindful of your actions, practice discipline, and track your results for real success. Be realistic.

Use a planner or journal like this one to help keep you organized.  

Step 6: Stop, Evaluate and Repeat

You can’t have a successful plan if you don’t take the time to evaluate. You need to make sure it is optimized for your goals and business success. Ask yourself open-ended questions and reflect on the actions and goals you accomplished. Keep in mind your emotions and feelings while doing it too. All successful plans change and grow over time.
