30 - 60 - 90 day plan

There is something about writing it down that acts like accountability. Spend a little time thinking about what you want and what you have to get done and then plan for it. July 1st will arrive and you can either have all the items on your list completed or not – you decide.

April 1 – 30 take a piece of paper and write down every day of the month and enter the projects that you want to complete. There are 5 week-ends in April which will account for most of the time available for larger projects but if you take a couple of hours each night it will add up to a whole day.

Don’t forget about family and friends – look at the month ahead and pick a date and then start calling. Have the family over for Sunday dinner if they live close by, if not, pick a Saturday. Commit to seeing friends more often. If cooking is stressing you out, make it potluck or order pizza, your friends won’t mind.

Start new traditions, make Friday movie night for the family, have snacks and rent movies that the whole family can watch together. Plan a date night every week – if you can’t go out, plan something at home, once you commit to a date you will think of something.

Every Sunday, plan three meals for the upcoming week and go shopping. If you have everything ready it is much easier to get dinner on the table in a hour or less.

If you decide on reading a book every week your will have read 12 books by July 1st – if you pick a certain topic, you will be very knowledable about the subject by then.

This will also work for personal finance, by looking at a calendar you will know what is coming up that can topple your budget before it happens. If you want to save money, pick a number and write it down and by July 1st you will either have it done or not.

If you are really committed, review your list every Sunday and if items have not been done, make sure you re-schedule them for the following week.
