7 Pro Planner Tips To Become A Brilliant Planner Within Days

Did you start your year with all good intentions?

Have you been planning that new start, had something in mind you really want to achieve this year, something you ear-marked to get stuck into or fancied finally making that change in your life?

I did, I had it all mapped out, but things didn’t quite go to plan.

The upcoming Pro Planner Tips came as a result of a difficult time in my life and will certainly help you just like they’ve helped me.

So, what happened to the planning?

I left a business I co-owned last year which I set up 8 years ago, it was a tough decision and after lots of soul searching, I decided it wasn’t for me anymore, so this year was my fresh start, my new beginning. I’d discovered a new-found sense of enthusiasm and drive. I was ready for a year full of opportunities and exciting new challenges pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

And then the unimaginable happened and sent me into a total tailspin. My Dad was diagnosed with aggressive cancer and thus started the most horrific 2 weeks I have ever experienced.

Still trying to process the news let alone the fact he’s no longer with us. His passing has knocked me back down, made me question many things and put plans on hold but I know with each day I’ll take the bravery and courage he showed with his illness and push on through the sadness.

So as the year rolls on and we are thrown into Spring at speed I’ll find myself needing all the tools to keep me going and moving forward with those plans Dad would dearly have wanted to see me achieve.

Whether you’ve been knocked down, not had the time to make a start yet and need to focus to get back in the game, questioning where you want to go next or simply don’t know where to start then we’re happy to share one of the Hello Time Planners most useful tools and pro planner tips.

Whatever it is you want to achieve, we believe you’re only ever seven steps from ‘YOU ARE HERE’ to ‘WHEREVER YOU WANT TO BE’.

7 Pro Planner Tips

Our definition of a project is anything that takes more than a few easy tasks to get done.

As we designed and built our planner each page at a time, we reviewed loads of ideas and research on the subject. We looked at the best ways to make a start, to put those plans into action because as the saying goes it’s often the start that stops us. A little planning goes a long way in helping your project succeed.

To get you fired up here’s 7 Pro Planner tips we would like to share that we’ve gathered along our journey to help you plan like a pro!

✔️Give your projects a start and end date and be realistic on timescales.

✔️When starting a new project, take a moment to quietly review, mentally, each step, then get it down on paper it.

✔️Set your own due dates for projects earlier than the actual deadline, you’ll thank us for this one it will give you some breathing space.

✔️More times than not, especially those just starting out don’t prioritize their projects enough. Instead, they try to do everything at once. This is a bad idea. It increases stress, decreases the likelihood that you’ll finish what you need to and makes it that much harder to progress effectively toward the end game.

✔️Ideally, your tasks will drive completion of your project, and the project will drive the accomplishment of your larger goal so dream big you’re going to have to clear all the hurdles that are between you and your goals. Therefore, stay confident and ignore those who are unnecessarily negative.

✔️You can’t do it alone, and there’s no shame in asking for help.

✔️Join a community and if one doesn’t exist, build one. Surround yourself with people or women who motivate and inspire one another.

Whatever your goal this year or next – starting a business, changing career, getting fitter or renovating your home, getting any large project of the ground – our ‘One-Page Plan of Action’ will help you get there. It includes all the pro planner tips here you’ll need.

For those who missed my IGTV or haven’t had chance to watch yet, here are my tips in summary. For those having a slower start to the year, due home schooling commitments, don’t give yourself a hard time just get to this when you get chance, in your own time.
First things first, keep up the excellent work. It First things first, keep up the excellent work. It’s been really tough to make that transition from the company office to the home office & now we are back again! 🙄  That commute, that buzzy office atmosphere, the kitchen banter and the stationery cupboard on tap, we know you're missing it all. I really miss the design agency stationery cupboard 🤣  Hang on in there; I've been working from home for 10 years now, so I'm used to it, but I remember all too clearly how it felt when I left an agency office full of creativity, talented people and company all day long to work, for myself, at home.  When I worked from home at first, it was surreal, unprecedented, lonely and strange so I can relate to how you will be feeling. Throw into the mix, your spouse and children in the house. The stress of not being able to go out and voila, the feelings are 100% compounded.  To help,  I’ve put together a blog post with lots of tips, that on reflection have helped me along the way - LINK IN BIO  Thank you Kirsty @rebuildagram for the carousel tips! Marvellous idea 🥰
