2017 Planning Session

Today was one of my favorite days of the year: Planning day. It is when I sit down and make my plans for the next writing year. Normally, I do this in December, but this year, I had to figure out some of the things that I need to wrap up this year to be ready for next year. To start with, I made up some basic goals (the white paper) and then I broke it down (blue squares).

The next step? Break it down into weekly goals. This took most of the day. I had to open documents, consult planners, and look at calendars.


I put the weekly goals on little blue sticky sheets and stuck them at the beginning of the appropriate week of my calendar. 



As you can see, I am going to have to reprint my 2017 goal sheets as I had to make a few changes. But everything is looking good.
