NYNL Day 18: Create a System to Follow

Now that you’ve written out a plan,

 Spend some time thinking about how you will follow your plan. 

There are really so many different ways to keep up with all of the checkpoints and keep moving!

Here are some that I’ve thought of:

Write it in a calendar.

This is what I chose to do (of course)… because I am obsessed with calendars and planners of all kinds! I got some silver Washi tape and a Sharpie. Then I wrote and taped my “checkpoints” into my planner. 

Write a checklist.

Creating a checklist is a great way to motivate yourself to complete tasks! Obviously, checklists are effective… otherwise, we wouldn’t create them for everything! Make one and keep it in your planner, on your desk, or on a bulletin board where you can see it! 

Write it in a computer document.

Creating a plan in Word or Excel is definitely a great way to keep the plan organized and current. Both programs make it easy to edit and rearrange things. Also, with the Word Notebook layout, there are even little checkmark boxes AND different tabs can be created for different goals!

Write it in a journal.

Maybe creating a goal journal/notebook seems like the most logical way to follow your plan. Reading through it frequently will help remind you which path you are on and why. This also leaves room for a little more detail than a normal checklist would. 

Now, go set it up! :) 

These are just some ways that I thought of that could be easy for following a plan! If you came up with something different, I’d love to hear about it!
