CREATE YOUR BEST LIFE (PART 4): CREATE A PLAN


Create A Plan To Achieve Your Goal

If you’re serious about achieving your goals, you need detailed action plans. Action plans are a series of steps designed to achieve a goal. An action plan can be created for any purpose and is widely used in business management, project management, and marketing.

Creating an action plan helps you break down your goal into manageable steps and track your progress. Using an action plan doesn’t just help you achieve your goals faster but also gives you peace of mind that you’ve got everything covered so that nothing falls through the gaps.

Why you need a Goal Plan

An action plan is a tool to break down large or complex tasks into smaller, more actionable steps. It is a written description of how you plan to achieve your goal. It can cover any area of your life where you’ve set a goal but don’t know exactly how to get there. This could be your career, health, relationships, or finances.

Your goal plan will help you map out everything you need to do, including who you need to speak to, what resources you need, and when to complete each step. Action plans are great for goal-oriented people who love setting new goals and achieving things. However, they are also ideal for people who struggle to stay on track, are easily distracted, and tend to procrastinate.

Break down your Goal into Small Steps

Break down your goal into small steps. You may have already written down your goal in your action plan notebook or computer document. If not, now is the time to jot it down. Once you have your destination written down, ask yourself what steps you need to take to achieve it.

Writing down all these small steps in your action plan notebook or computer document might be beneficial. However, you can also use an online action plan tool to break down your goal into small steps. Action plan tools come with pre-written prompts that you can select to help you break down your goal and develop specific and measurable action steps.

Add a Deadline to Each Step

You need to add a deadline to each step in your action plan. A deadline is essential to an action plan because it will help you stay focused and on track. It will also prevent you from procrastinating.

You can use a calendar application on your computer or mobile device to add deadlines to each action step. Also, you can write them down in your action plan notebook or use an online action plan tool to add deadlines to your action steps.

Use Triggers to make it happen.

Now that you have broken down your goal into small steps and added deadlines to each step, it might be tempting to sit back and wait for the results to roll in. But if you’re anything like most people, you will end up procrastinating and letting your goal fall through the cracks. You can avoid this by using triggers to make your action steps happen.

A trigger is something that will prompt you to take action and help you to achieve your goal. For example, if you want to read one book a month but keep putting it off, you need to find a trigger to help you get started. This could be reading while you’re eating breakfast, while you’re on the bus or train, while you’re having a bath, and so on.
