My favorite planner this year is Valorie Burton’s The Successful Woman Planner. I want to give my readers the opportunity to try this out. But we have to know what we are planning to do in order to pray about it and commit it to God. “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” I love what Dave Ramsey says about budgets: “A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” It’s the same with a planner – a planner will help you tell your time where it goes instead of wondering where it went. I apply the same principle to my week, month and year. I call it Pull Back Planning because I have to be intentional about pulling back from my regular life and setting that time aside to plan for my day, my week, my month, my year, and yes, my whole life.Įach day, before I end work, I take a look at what is coming tomorrow to see what I need to plan for, pray for and do. Most of them have supportive family and friends to encourage them.īut all of them take time away from their crazy, busy, jam-packed days to pull back and plan for what they want. Most of them get up early to attack their day. I started to write down my dreams and started turning those into goals.Īnd this is what I’ve noticed with every successful woman I’ve ever worked with: It was a simple, paper planner that, for the first time, I actually used to plan what I was going to accomplish instead of using it like a calendar. When did things finally begin to turn around for me? Was it a job promotion or a new opportunity? It was easier (and safer) to just do the day to day and survive instead of having a hope for a better, more successful future. But part of it was not really believing I could be successful in what I wanted to do in my life.
Some of that was just finding my place in the world – it’s what a lot of 20 and some 30-year-olds do. I spent most of my twenties and thirties living paycheck to paycheck, in a job that had no potential, loving some of my coworkers but barely tolerating some of the people I worked with. I have a career I love, one with purpose and meaning and serves God in a way I was created for, people I love working with, and enough income to not stay up late at night worrying about how we are going to pay the bills (most nights, that is).īut let’s be clear… my life was not always this way. (And when I say lucky, I mean fortunate.)
