Weekly Action Plan Template
I sit down on Sunday morning and look at my calendar for the week. I transfer all of my appointments and due dates to my weekly action plan. Yes, transferring these items is double-work (instead, I could use something like Outlook and my monthly items would populate my weekly view), but the act of transferring them from my tangible calendar to my tangible weekly action plan really helps me wrap my brain around what I have coming up.
Once I have all the have-to-do’s on my action plan, I look back at my monthly goals and figure out what I want to accomplish this week in order to be on track to complete those monthly goals. Then I block off chunks of time during my week to work on those things (this is a way to be proactive about my time, rather than just reacting to all the demands that come at me throughout the week).
I can separate out my daily to-do items a little more. I’m sure I won’t get everything done every day, but at least it won’t be too difficult to look back at the previous day to catch up on a few things.
You can download the template here, if you’re interested.

Thanks, Anonymous! Just fixed it (I think).

I love that chart and appreciate that someone other than myself feels more centered through organizational activities. I, too, am constantly reorganizing myself. Thanks for some good ideas!
