Plan My Next Focus

We are going to choose the next thing we are going to focus on and work out how to make it happen, one doable step at a time.

Okay, let's choose our present focus...

Over the last few exercises, you've visualised a version of your best year ahead, identified your Life Areas and your Big Rocks. 

Now it's time to choose one of those Big Rocks to work on. You can't work on everything at once, and trying to usually means nothing gets your full attention. So we are going to pick one goal to focus on first. Something that feels most right for you to focus on right now, and we're going to plan it out. 

This plan doesn't have to be your focus for the whole year. The planning process ends with the week ahead planned out. At the end of that week, you can check in, see how it went, and decide whether to keep going with it for another week. When the time is right you can turn your attention to a different Big Rock, using this exercise to plan it out. 

Don't refrain from starting any plan you make because you don't think it's the perfect plan. A plan that's 70% figured out and already in motion beats a 90% plan that's still sitting on paper. And most plans can only become 'perfect' if that is possible at all, once they've been started and tested. Small, consistent steps are what create lasting change. The most important part of a plan is generally to being and things that weren't considered before can be dealt with as they come up. 

You can work on this exercise on your Elultime Dashboard and save it and come back to it whenever you want. One can also print a PDF to write on if that works better.
