In addition to your regular stream of emails, papers, etc., you most likely have tons of projects that need your attention.
Some will be small and simple, like planting a fruit tree in the backyard or getting the front door painted. Other projects will require some heavy planning, like starting a new business, taking your family on a big campout, or working with your child on an insect poster for school. (I know it’s supposed to be the child’s project, but is it really?)
Below are two steps you can follow each time you are tackling one of those big/exciting projects:
(1) Download this Project Planning Template.
Project Planning Template – PDF
(2) Follow the prompts on each page and then incorporate your Next Actions into your current lists.
Any time you start feeling overwhelmed by a large project, print a new template, follow the prompts, and keep the plan in the appropriate support cubby.
(3) If you’d like to see this planning template in action, this GTD Times Christmas post will walk you through it.
Happy planning!
