I am planned and plotted for all of 2010. It took just a few hours (I’d been thinking about my 10 big goals for 2010 for a while now) and I quickly created a 2010 planning template in Adobe Acrobat Pro (a printable version of my template can be downloaded if you want it: 2010 Goals Worksheet template; happy holidays to you, my faithful blog readers!). It didn’t take long to fill in the blanks (I love filling in blanks!) and I’m ready. And already behind schedule. Yeah, that’s me, the Type A, born on Martha Stewart’s birthday overachiever crazy eyes girl.
I won’t ever change. My priorities might, but me, nah.
The hardest part was diluting the monthly tasks into weekly action steps. Why my brain has issues with THAT PORTION of planning is Resistance, I swear! So I made it easy for myself. I created a template with more blank spaces! Suddenly, all I had to do was think of “next action steps” and December (pre-planning) is full and I will be ready to launch in January with aplomb.
My little template worked. And after I planned out the next thirteen months, I felt great! Amazing how a little bit of planning can help you focus.
Now go to it! And enjoy.

Oh honey….
Do I ever MISS having a plan. My ‘A’ type personality functions so. much. better. with organization. It kind of sucks for my natural bent but these days God is asking me to trust him for today and not plot out the rest of it. Most days I go “WWWWHHHHYYYY????” but He is teaching me more ‘go with the flow’.
Maybe I can live vicariously though your well planned 2010.
Trust me, Faith. This is not set in stone. I just have to put on paper everything I would love to do in a year else I lose my mind. It is not set in stone, but I feel better that it’s written down. However, I think God is teaching us all “to go with the flow.”
LOL. You will shake your head at me. I’m already behind for my December. So what’s new?
