As we continue our series exploring executive functions today we get to talk about planning.   Can you hear it in my voice? Planning is my FAVORITE-IST thing!   Planning is so much more than filling in a planner or checking boxes. Planning is purposefully setting aside time and deciding how you want to show up in the next season. Decide what rules you want to make for your next season so you can be as proactive as you want to be. It’s time to dream about what is possible, about what you want to change, and about what you don’t want to change.    At Organize 365®, I offer LIVE Planning Days for home and work where I teach you how to proactively plan. They are conveniently scheduled around natural Golden Windows.   Golden windows is a phrase I created to help articulate different times that are optimal for getting started on your transformational journey to organizing. Learn more about golden windows in podcast 242 - Golden Windows of Organizing Opportunity.   You do realize, without knowing it, there are about three times a year we shift in life?  These are what I like to call Golden Windows.  This is a time to organize and plan.  Effective planning going into these golden windows can have a profound impact on your organizational transformation because your organizing energy is naturally higher than normal. And with a plan in hand you can really capitalize on that energy.    Planning is everything! Planning will help you make the invisible work visible. See how I’ve applied this to so many seemingly “invisible” tasks in life such as putting up and taking down my Christmas tree.   There are a lot of layers to this conversation - listen to the full episode and join me for the next part of this executive function series where we will be talking about initiation & task monitoring.   EPISODE RESOURCES: Organize 365® Blitz Business Friday Workbox® Starter Bundle with Planning Day Friday Workbox® Planning Day Bundle The Productive Home Solution® with first Planning Day included Home Planning Day Bundle - Essentials Home Planning Day Bundle - Deluxe ALL IN Work & Home Planning Day Bundle   Did you enjoy this episode?
