Introduction to
   Planning.
What is planning and why you need to
                plan?
• Planning is one of the most important project
  management and time management techniques.
  Planning is preparing a sequence of action steps to
  achieve some specific goal. If you do it effectively, you
  can reduce much the necessary time and effort of
  achieving the goal.
• A plan is like a map. When following a plan, you can
  always see how much you have progressed towards
  your project goal and how far you are from your
  destination. Knowing where you are is essential for
  making good decisions on where to go or what to do
  next.
• One more reason why you need planning is gain
  the 80/20 rule. It is well established that for
  unstructured activities 80 per cent of the effort
  gives less than 20 percent of the valuable
  outcome. You either spend much time on
  deciding what to do next, or you are taking many
  unnecessary, unfocussed, and inefficient steps
  towards your goal.
• Planning is also crucial for meeting your needs
  during each with your time, money, or other
  resources. With careful planning you often can
  see if at some point you are likely to face a
  problem. It is much easier to adjust your plsn to
  avoid or smoother a coming crisis, rather than to
  deal with the crisis when it comes unexpected.
How to write an action plan?
• When writing an action plan to achieve a
  particular goal or outcome, you can get much
  help from the following steps.
• Clarify your goal. Can you get a visual picture
  of the expected outcome? How can you see if
  you have reached your destination? What
  does make your goal measurable? What
  constraints do you have, like the limits on
  time, money, or other resources.
• Write a list of actions. Write down all actions you
  may need to take to achieve your goal. At this
  step focus on generating and writing as many
  different options and ideas as possible. Take a
  sheet of paper and write more and more ideas,
  just as they come to your mind. While you are
  doing this, try not to judge or analyze.
• Analyze, prioritize, and prune. Look at your list
  of actions. What are the absolutely necessary and
  effective steps to achieve your goal? Mark them
  somehow. After that, what action items can be
  dropped from in the plan without significant
  consequences for the outcome. Cross them out.
• Organize your list into a plan. Decide on the
  order of your action steps. Start from looking at
  your marked key actions. For each action, what
  other steps should be completed before that
  action? Rearrange your actions and ideas into a
  sequence of ordered action steps. Finally, look at
  your plan once again. Are there any ways to
  simplify it even more?
• Monitor the execution of your plan and review
  the plan regularly. How much have you
  progressed towards your goal by now? What new
  information you have got? Use this information
  to further adjust and optimize your plan.
Using a goal setting form or worksheet
• A goal setting form or worksheet has certain
  advantages. They may be a convenient
  learning tool when making first goal setting
  steps, like in high school lessons. Goal setting
  forms or worksheets can also be helpful if you
  feel they stimulate you to actually sit and
  write your goals. They are also easy if you use
  them for a one time goal setting exercise, just
  to fill them out and forget.
• After you learn basic goal setting principles and
  acquire some goal writing skills, you can do even
  better with just a plain sheet of paper. At least if you
  don't have many goals to manage.
• As soon as you grow more serious about your goals
  and objectives, and it is not just a one time exercise, a
  simple paper system or just a goal setting form will
  slow you down.
• In particular, while it is important to stick to your goals,
  you need significant flexibility in your objectives and
  activities. Your objectives are important part of goal
  planning process, as they serve your goals and connect
  them to changing circumstances. Even if the direction
  of your goals does not change, time after time you feel
  the need to clarify their formulation.
• With a paper system it is easy to become
  reluctant to sharpen your goals or readjust
  your objectives to new facts and experiences.
  It is just too much rewriting work. Of course,
  doing that rewriting work may help to keep
  your goal setting system alive, but will be
  taking more of your time. It is also quite
  difficult to have a visible hierarchy of your
  goals, objectives, and activities. In any case,
  with a goal setting form or worksheet, or just
  plain paper, you serve your goal writing
  system rather than the system serves you.
