    Happiness List

    If I am being honest, I have slipped a little on doing daily Happiness Activities. But that is okay, I have noticed and I will rectify that today and go to bed a little earlier than I normally would have and read an extra chapter in the current fiction book I am reading. 

    Evaluate your week and plan for the next

    As you were introduced to last week, do an evaluation of this week and make a plan for next week. And if you are part of the HGD Crossroads Journey community you will have access to the Weekly Tracking form where you get to ask a question about your Crossroads Journey. Module 1 is free, you just need to add it to your cart, then you will get instant access to down load the workbook, and a link to the Google Classroom where you can access the Weekly Tracking Form and the discussion threads.

    This concludes this weeks Action Plan. You have found time for your Crossroads Journey. You have reviewed your month and set a plan for next month. You are renewing doing daily Happiness activities, and you have evaluated your week and planned the next.

  • HGD Crossroads Week 9 Action Plan

    HGD Crossroads Week 9 Action Plan

    Welcome back, Goal Investigator, to Week 9 Action Plan. This week you will be reviewing the month that has been and then go on and set the plan for the month to come. You will continue on your happiness list activities, bringing a little happiness to your life daily. And finally, you will carry on your weekly tracking.

    • Review your month
    • Monthly Plan
    • Your Happiness List
    • Weekly Tracking

    Review your month

    Having your weekly tracking up to date will help you when you review your month, as you will have a condensed version of what you got up to in the month that has just been. Reviewing your month will help you to see what is working, what isn’t, and what you have achieved.

    In your chosen HGD Crossroads Planner or your journal, start a new spread for the monthly review:

    • What was the focus for the month?
    • What action steps did you complete?
    • What action steps did you do instead?
    • What action steps did you not do? Why?
    • What will you not do again?
    • What do you need to do differently or change?
    • What progress have you made with your goals?
    • What have you still got outstanding?
    • What are you carrying over to next month?
    • Any other notes about the month that has just been?

    The plan for next month

    Now that you have reviewed the month that has just gone, it is time to plan the coming month. Having a plan will help you to have a focus for the month so that you know what you are working towards. This also helps with the weekly tracking because you have milestones that can be measured.

    • What is the focus for the month?
    • What does success look like for you this month?
    • What goals are you focusing on this month?
    • What action steps do you need to take this month?
    • What are the top 3 action steps?
    • What appointments have you got this month?

    Your happiness list

    You will know by now, if you have been following along with the weekly action plans you will know that your happiness list is activities that you enjoy doing and that make you happy. These can be activities like personal care: giving yourself a facial, doing your nails, taking care of your beard, getting a relaxing or therapeutic massage. Arts and crafts: painting, drawing, crocheting, knitting, building something, working on your car. Other activities that make you happy. Then you will do at least one of them daily. You can also use your happiness list as a reward when you achieve something from your goals or action plan. After you have done a roadblocks or sabotage exercise to lift you up. You can also do a happiness activity when you are feeling down.

    After work, I have been doing some crocheting before feeding the animals and myself. I am crocheting a long line cardi/overcoat; it is in an 8-ply acrylic yarn in the colour rhubarb. What have you been doing?

    Weekly tracking

    As you would have discovered in this week’s action plan, it is helpful to do the weekly tracking so that you have a record of what you achieved in the month when you do the monthly review.

    • Weekly Tracking
      • Focus of the week
      • Top 3 Tasks of the Week
      • Resources required
      • Accomplishments of the week
      • Weekly Tasks/habits
      • Weekly Notes
      • Top 3 Action Steps for next week
