What is your game plan to achieve your objectives?
If you don’t have specific objectives and a clear game plan, you will just find yourself relying on Lady Luck for success. But, usually, she will prefer to side with the goal-setter who has done his or her prep.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when preparing your game plan:
– Be organized, so at any given point in time, you have a written list of outstanding things to complete and a corresponding timeline.
– Prepare not only a “To Do” list, but also a “Not To Do” list. Practice the mantra of less is more.
– Be prepared to say “No” to many things that don’t lead you to your objectives, and “Yes” to few things that do.
– Do one thing at a time from your game plan, and see them through to completion instead of many half-done jobs.
– Do your tasks very well the first time around so to avoid having to do them again.
– Be an effective delegator and utilize your team efficiently.
