In today's episode, Sarah plans her week on-air! Well, it's a bit of a reenactment (mostly because she needed a quiet house to record), but she goes through all the steps and there are visual aids (please see the show notes @ theshubox.com for photos!).
Steps in her weekly planning process:
- Looking back - reflection & review (including migration/review of any prior undone tasks, plus a look at the monthly list)
- Looking ahead - upcoming calendar integration
- Look around - ensure inboxes are up to date enough & check sneaky sources
- Look within - mood and energy assessment
- Generate weekly task list and record
- Add weekly ops that feel necessary (plus: FUN AUDIT)
- Remember the upcoming weekend - think it through
- Plan for communication
