Personal Strategic Planning

The phrase “chasing shiny objects” can definitely be used to describe me so discipline and a strategic plan are my 2 best friends for managing my time.  I look at each week, insert all of the activities for the kids and then time block in what can be used for exercise, work etc.  This helps me manage my time proactively so that I can insert meetings, coffees, etc. at times when it is least disruptive to my schedule.  I have a strategic plan that includes weekly to-do’s that all roll-up to accomplish my 12-month goals.  This helps ensure that I work on tasks that are meaningful to meeting my vision as opposed to the tasks that are most attention-demanding (email!). – Wixii Wendy Barry
