Planning your week for

Hey Goal Investigator, today I (Goal Detective Cindy) will walk you through how I plan out my week so that I am moving forward with my goals. I will also share my weekly planner template with you, a powerful tool that will equip you to plan out your week and move closer to your goals.

The first thing I always do when weekly planning is to fill in the dates the week started and ended. Followed by the weekly affirmation. These are both at the top of the worksheet.

Then, I fill out the focus for the week. This can be a goal or project that you will be focusing on this week or a task that has to be done that week. Remember, this process is flexible and can adapt to your needs.

What does success look like for you this week? Describe some measurable milestones that will help you succeed.

What resources are required for the week? Having them listed here will help with productivity.

If you already know some of the tasks you need to tackle this week, add them now and add them to this section during the week. If the task needs to be done on a particular day, you can add that to the daily to-do’s.

Now, start to add in your appointments for the week.

I like to fill in my daily to-do list the morning of, with the first three being the top priority tasks for that day.

At the bottom of the worksheet, there is space for weekly notes and “wins and achievements.” Recording your achievements is not just a formality, it’s a powerful tool to boost your morale and keep you motivated, especially during challenging times.

The dashboard box is to record items you are tracking each week, such as how many sales you made that week, how many inquiries you received, and how many new enrollments you received. This helps you keep track of your progress and identify areas for improvement.

Weekly Habits is used to help you develop new habits, such as walking 6,000 steps daily, writing 500 words daily, and so on. These can change week to week as your priorities change for weekly notes and “wins and achievements”. Recording your achievements help you to see that you can actually complete things and gives you a morale boost when you are feeling down.
