Let’s face it: a large majority of people quit on planning
They start with good intentions, armed with goals and the best tools. But as life gets busy, planning slips down the priority list. Days turn into weeks, and before long, they’re off track, feeling overwhelmed and stressed again, wondering what went wrong.
The truth is, the people who succeed aren’t necessarily working harder – they’re just sticking to their plan. Planning isn’t a one-time task; it’s a commitment to yourself, your business, and the life you want.
The ones who don’t quit? They’re doing something different. They’re the ones who keep their planner open, who make planning an unshakeable habit, and who know that success doesn’t happen without consistency.
We send out emails like this because we genuinely want you to succeed. It’s not just about a planner – it’s about helping you build habits that lead to growth and long-term success. That’s why we also offer the MY PA app, designed to remind you of the power of planning. Our app provides timely reminders and motivational nudges to help you stay on track and make planning a consistent part of your life.
Here’s how you can join them and make planning a lasting habit:
Set a Daily Routine
Build a few minutes into your morning to review your plan for the day. When planning becomes a habit, it becomes a natural part of your routine. You’ll feel more in control and focused from the start of each day.
Focus on What Matters Most
Don’t just fill your day with quick ticks. What are the important things you truly need to do? Prioritise tasks that move you forward, especially during your high-energy hours. Use that time for meaningful tasks that take more focus and commitment, and save the smaller, easier ones for later. Remember, not all tasks are created equal – it’s the progress on the big ones that really drives you forward.
Reflect Weekly
Take a few minutes at the end of each week to review what went well and where things went off track. Reflecting helps you see progress, stay motivated, and reset your focus. A weekly review makes it easier to stay consistent.
Plan the following week. Many people find that Friday is a great time to plan for the upcoming week, letting them relax over the weekend with a clear mind. Others prefer Sunday night, using it as a way to set intentions and start the week strong.
Keep it Visible
Keep your planner open on your desk as a constant reminder of your goals. When it’s in sight, you’re more likely to stay committed and check in with your progress throughout the day. Remember, out of sight is out of mind.
Don’t Just Write It – Live It
The most successful planners don’t just write down their goals and leave them. They live by their plan, revisit it, and let it guide their decisions. Every task checked off, every goal met, is a step closer to the life they want.
This doesn’t mean you have to be a slave to your planner either. Think of it as a supportive guide, not a rigid schedule. Life will throw curveballs – but a well-thought-out plan helps you stay grounded and adaptable.
The MY PA Planner was designed to support exactly this – helping you stay consistent and make planning a part of your success routine. It’s more than just pages; it’s a system that helps you take control, track progress, and keep moving forward, even when life gets busy.
