Planning for Q 1

​At this time of year, a lot of our focus shifts to year end planning, but what about planning for Q 1?
If you have taken time in the last few weeks or months to capture your annual plan, now is the time to pull it out again, and open it up. What had you highlighted for Q 1 – January, February or March?
What are the:

• Key projects and activities you have planned?
• What relationships are important to take note of?
• What opportunities exist?
• What is important for you to prioritize?

For those that have a copy of the PlanDoTrack Workbook, you’ll note that there are four sets of Quarterly Planning Tools. Each of the quarterly planning tool sections includes:

• Space for you to note key projects and activities.
• Space for you to reflect on past learning you want to carry forward, opportunities you want to focus on for the quarter, as well as space for you to note opportunities and key learning.

Another segment of the Quarterly Planner gets you to break down the key priorities for each week of the quarter (usually about 12 or 13 in total) so you can get a “big picture” view, and then flesh it out further in the monthly calendar sections.
With the launch of the Coaching Business Builder in Summer 2018, a sibling edition of PlanDoTrack (for professional coaches), I’ve been intrigued to see different people’s affinity to planning at different levels. Some professionals first turn to the quarterly view, and others to the monthly view. What do you prefer? What’s the window that helps you plan?
As you go about your planning for Q 1, be sure to reflect back on the last blog posts around Winter Planning Questions. 

Best,
Jennifer
