Kindergarten Planning Works: And Works Extraordinarily Well - Auto Recovery
By Catherine Franz
I went into the supply cabinet and pulled out a stack of index cards. Back at my desk, I sat staring at them. What’s next? “Shhh…quiet…listen!” So, I did.
“Write one project on each card.” I obeyed.
“Okay, what’s next?”
“Wow, you sure are impatient!”
“Yep, my parents complain too.”
“An hour or before you leave for a vacation, or even a weekend, write down where you left off and what was your next step,” was the next message.
“Okay, gottcha. But…but…but this seems so rudimentary. This feels like returning to kindergarten planning! I have all these other methods that do this.”
“Shut up; wear your Nike’s, just do it.”
And so I did. To my surprise it works. It works darn well too. In fact, I have given this suggestion to many clients. Yes, they too rolled their eyes because it seems so ridiculously simple.
I went on to use this on a daily basis. Every night before I went home I updated my index cards. I crossed out the previous message, no new cards until there wasn’t any more room on the card, and wrote in the last thing I did on that project and the next step to begin with tomorrow. To this day, I continue this process and my productivity is always high. Yours will be too when you begin.
