It’s Sunday.
That means it’s time to plan the week.
If you’re doing your daily planning each day, and using a tickler, you’ve already got a week’s worth of stuff laid out in front of you.
Well, you did the first time through anyway.
But after a week of daily planning, you’ve moved most of those ticklers on to daily plans, and hopefully got a lot of them done.
So after a week, it’s good to step back, take stock, and make some plans for the coming week.
You could make another list of all the things you want to get done during the week, and that can be helpful. For now, just label that list your weekly tickler.
But weekly planning should really be about setting up your daily ticklers so that it’s an awesome week.
That means you figure out what you want done during the week, and then lay things out daily so that you can get it all done.
Weekly Ticklers
Now it’s time to use some weekly ticklers. I like to have four or five lists, one for each week in a month.
Add stuff you want to do this week to a tickler list for this week.
As you do, you’ll think of plenty that you want to do, but that won’t fit into the coming week. Add that to a weekly tickler for next week.
Go through this weeks tickler list, go through any habits you want to build on a weekly basis, and schedule it all by adding it to your daily tickler lists.
That’s a good minimal weekly planning session. Just like your daily planning, it can go really quick, as you get used to the process.
