Planning and Calendar Structure
Mind Mapping Worksheets
- In the first set-up mind map worksheets, you have an opportunity to start mapping your dreams into a 1-year, 3-year, 10-year, Lifetime timeframe. In these pages it is important to dream big and write down anything that comes to you. (Example below)

- In the next set of mind map worksheets, you are asked to narrow your focus down to 3 main goals for each timeframe. So you will identify three goals for 1 year, 3 goals for 3 years and so on. This provides an opportunity to:
- Get clear on your focus
- Start identifying the different projects and tasks that need to go into each goal you want to accomplish.

Planning structure starting with a Year view and drilling down to a daily view
Planning for the year ahead
- Next, you will start planning for the year ahead by taking the projects and tasks that you listed in your 1 year mind map and start plotting them out in a worksheet. As you are documenting the projects and tasks, you also have an opportunity to document which quarter you believe the projects should occur in. (Image below)

Planning for the next 3 months
- Once you have completed your rough plan for the year, you will start breaking down the projects into a quarterly planning sheet. This supports you in planning for the next 3 months. Again, here you will document the projects that will take place and in which month they will occur.

Planning for the next month
- Next, you will break down your projects into tasks so that they can be completed in the month ahead. This worksheet provides space to write your project and space to list all of the tasks that need to be done to complete the project.
- There is also an undated calendar view that you can set up to assist with planning and scheduling.

Planning for the week – The Weekly Bootcamp
- This is where the rubber meets the road. Every week you will complete the Weekly Bootcamp worksheet by taking your project tasks and scheduling them into the weekly calendar.
- The first two pages of the Weekly bootcamp gives you space to
- Reflect
- Document your successes
- Prioritize your top 3 goals and customize your own habit tracker.
- The weekly bootcamp also provides space to:
- Schedule the tasks into each day of the week (via time blocking)
- Track your habits
- Document a daily gratitude.
- A great feature of this layout is that you can customize the time of day in the weekly spread so it works with your schedule.
- You will participate in the bootcamp each week until you get to the next month and then you will plan for the next month and then work through the weekly bootcamps again, and so on.
