Description

The ADD Super Planner can be a powerful tool for achieving the goals you set. Utilizing the tools of the ADD Planner can greatly enhance the effectiveness of this process.

In your planner’s monthly view, jot down your overarching goals for the month. Then, during weekly planning, break these goals into smaller tasks for the week ahead. This helps in maintaining focus and tracking progress. We’ve separated these to-do lists into three sections per week. “Need To-Do”, “Want To-Do” and “Freestyle”. Freestyle can be used for notes, important dates, or which to-do lists need to be delegated in the week.

Define Clear and Specific Goals: Start by articulating your goals in a clear and specific manner. Instead of a vague goal like “improve fitness,” aim for “run a 5k.” Specific goals are easier to track and measure. List these goals as priorities on the opening month page. Be sure you make a list of what you’re okay letting slide this month, remember to give yourself grace.

Prioritize Tasks: Not all tasks are equal in terms of importance and urgency. This ensures you tackle high-priority tasks first.

Break Down Goals into Smaller Steps: Use your planner to break down larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks. This prevents overwhelm and provides a clear road map to follow. Each task should be actionable and achievable.

Set SMART Goals: SMART stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Make sure your goals meet these criteria. This approach brings clarity and structure to your goal-setting process.

Reflect and Review: Regularly set aside time to review your goals’ progress. Use your planner for reflection by using the weekly follow-up tool. By noting what’s working and what needs adjustment you’ll find yourself setting more realistic goals and holding yourself accountable when they don’t get done. Adjust your plans accordingly don’t be hard on yourself.

Celebrate Milestones: Every achievement, no matter how small, deserves celebration. Use your planner to mark milestones and reward yourself when you accomplish them.

Use Visual Aids: Using the “vision casting” page in the ADD Super Planner you can draw, write, or tape in pictures to help craft your goals in a format that piques your interest. This vision board approach provides a quick overview of your end goals and motivates you to keep going.
