Today, I'm taking your with me through a monthly planning session. I review the previous month and look into the next month. Today's focus is more on how to use a monthly review when things are going great!

Key Points from this Episode:

The planner helps so much when you are in time of pure survival and also when things are going well!
If you're on top of your game, add things to your monthly review page during each weekly planning, then you just have to finish off at the end of the month.
My focus for the month is either helping me get very clear on the one thing that really matters on a personal level or a study question I am trying to think about throughout the month.
We have an innate need to learn, so write down what you've learned and take some time to choose what you are learning.
Accomplishments are for anything you consider a win: projects, who you're becoming, progress in ANYTHING!
Places we went is a very short list during quarantine, but it's a reminder that it's healthy for us to experience new things and meet new people.
The Family category helps me plan things that are fun for our family, plan routines and systems for our family, and figure out what I need to intentionally teach my family.
Now, look ahead to next month!
It's so important for me to seek God's help in deciding what I need to focus on. My prayer has been to know what I need to do to be prepared for our future.
Make sure your projects is not a list of every project you ever want to do, but instead, is what you can reasonably do in the next 30 days.
Really think about your self-care. Think about where you are and what you really need right now.
To plan your days, consider energy mapping. Plan your toughest tasks for when you recognize you are at your best levels. Plan more mindless tasks for when you know you have a tough time focusing.
