When it comes to life, we tend to do everything with planning. Being humans it has been our mentality to run things according to our plans. From our childhood we are taught, only a person who knows how to plan things can actually succeed in life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Planning anything and everything has always been beneficial. The people who strategize things well are more prone to succeed in life as compared to others.<\/span><\/p>\n

I remember I had a client once. Her name was Angela. She was one of the brightest girls I had ever seen. Glorious in academics, medalled in sports, and a certified Kathak dancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

As she was so perfect, I asked her what brought her to me. She very politely said, \u201c There are things that I have achieved, but there are things that are yet to achieve.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As the session proceeded, we talked and tried to understand each other. At only the age of 21, she had made so many achievements.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, she felt like she had no purpose to fulfill. She thought she did everything in haste and that if she could have done things with a little more patience and planning, it could have been great for her.<\/span><\/p>\n

At such a young age, she felt like she had nothing to do and nothing to achieve. It is what happens when we fail to plan things and work according to our plans in life. Many times we feel lost mid-way because of unplanned life.<\/span><\/p>\n

I asked her what made her think this way. Was it because everything she kept on doing was unplanned?<\/span><\/p>\n

To this, she said, \u201cI just kept on doing things one after the other. I thought if I do things quickly, it\u2019ll be great for me. I never felt the need to create a plan for myself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

By that time, I already knew what was the problem that was eating her head, and what will be its solution.<\/span><\/p>\n

She had never planned things. She exhausted herself by indulging in every activity at one time. Had she done activities with more patience and planning, her life would have been different.<\/span><\/p>\n

I asked her to start planning what she needs to acquire or fulfill in a day. I asked her to create daily plans a night before for one week.<\/span><\/p>\n

She visited me the next week. I asked her if she finds herself more productive now. She smiled and said, \u201c I did have so many things to do in a single day. I was not even realizing how much I was acquiring in a day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With this, she realized she has various purposes in life. Now I asked her to plan your week. She sat on Sunday and wrote whatever she will accomplish in the week ahead. <\/span>After inculcating weekly plans, in the next session, she said, \u201c I have actually found my purpose in life.\u201d <\/span>She was so satisfied and glad that she found the hope she lost. Today, she has completed her masters and conducts dance classes for girls.<\/span><\/p>\n

How did this happen?<\/b><\/p>\n

While planning her days and week, she knew how much time to give to what activity. As she started planning her weeks, she started sparing out times for the things she wanted to do or liked to do. <\/span>As she spent more and more time on the things she loved, she knew what she wanted for herself in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

You see, everything starts with planning. Planning your week is the first step towards productivity. Planning and fulfilling your planned things help you achieve many things in life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do you need to plan your week?<\/b><\/h2>\n

As I have already said, having a plan is extremely good for your productivity and life. Still, at times we doubt how a strategy can help us or planning your week can benefit you. <\/span>According to me, here I have collected the four most prominent reasons why you need a plan.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Weekly planning boosts your productivity<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When I say being productive, I do not mean staying busy or working throughout your day. A person is said to be productive if he or she makes the most of the day in the least time. In simple words, a person who completes all his tasks on time and saves time for himself and other activities is said to be productive. If you plan your week in advance, you will know what all you have to accomplish, how much time you have to spare for each task, and how much time you will have for yourself. You will focus only on the right things and focus your energy there.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. You\u2019ll learn to say NO<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

      One of the most arduous things to say in the world is \u2018No\u2019. Saying no to wrong habits, friends, socializing, or wasting time on the phone becomes very difficult for people these days. People do not avoid other activities because they are unaware of how much pending work they have. For example, you have to complete a presentation and prepare for a seminar for a meeting tomorrow. You decide to devote extra hours from your break to use for this work. However, your colleagues approach you and convince you to join them for lunch at a nearby restaurant. Since you have no plan and time constraints on yourself, you think you\u2019ll finish your work later and decide to join them for lunch. You then had to spend all your night working on the presentation. Now you understand how planning could have helped you?<\/span><\/p>\n

      When you have a plan, and you know you have to acquire certain things within a given time frame, then you\u2019ll learn to say \u2018no\u2019 whenever required.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Weekly planning helps to keep a balance between work and life<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The concept of planning is very simple. The more you work according to your plan, the more time you will have to yourself. If you accomplish your tasks on time, you will have more free time. Who doesn’t like free time? Lost amidst so many tasks, we hardly find time to take care of our mental health. If we have more free time, we will stress less. It will help us manage our mental health and productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n

        A work-life balance will be created by planning your week. You will have time to spend with your family. You may even indulge in your loved activities like cooking, dancing, or writing. It will help you balance your life<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Planning your week will make you more aware<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Many times in life, we are so deeply involved in work that we do not realize what is happening around us. It happens mostly when we keep on piling up work unless we are overloaded with it, and now we have no time to look around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          If you make a plan and work according to it, you\u2019ll stay more aware and conscious of your surroundings. Multi-tasking will become more efficient. Being too busy, we miss out on a lot of small tasks. Getting the bigger fish remains our target, and because of it, so many smaller tasks remain untouched. If you plan your week, you will have leftover time. It is the time which you can utilize for the smaller tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

          How to plan your week?<\/b><\/h2>\n

          Even after knowing the need to create a plan, many people wonder how to schedule a week. Planning a week requires both patience and intellect.\u00a0 <\/span>Planning your week is creating a layout or an outline of what you are going to do each day. You don’t have to create a very detailed plan however, it will be great if you can. Start with simple steps and action plans. <\/span>Your plan should make you feel prepared for the entire week. Let us now learn how to create a plan for your week.<\/span><\/p>\n
