Have you scheduled your 2014 vacation yet? How about your
continuing education, or the up-grade for your computer?
How about your tax planning or that trip you’ve always
wanted, or opening the new office?
It’s time to get your new calendar up on the wall and
prepare your budgets, goals and targets for the new year.
I put up our 2014 year-at-a-glance wall calendars last
weekend. I encourage you to do the same!
I know it may sound early, but Halloween is over, the
leaves have fallen (and "down under" spring is sprung!) and
the New Year will be here before you know it. NOW is the
time to plan and prepare.
I am a huge believer in large, year-at-a-glance wall
calendars to keep us focused and make things happen. Of
course, there is nothing magical about wall calendars! But
they do create a visual reminder of our most important
priorities and we have used them for many years.
We use a simple color-code system, with vacations and
holidays in green (a life-affirming color), major business
events and deadlines in red, blue for travel, and other
colors for specific conferences and miscellaneous events.
Every day, my assistant, my wife and I see the calendar,
note the color-codes and are reminded to stay on track,
keep our promises and finish our projects.
NOW is the time to plan your most prosperous, most exciting
year ever. NOW is the time to review your performance for
2013 and set new goals for the year ahead. Sure, your goals
be refined and perhaps even changed as you finalize plans
in the coming weeks, but begin the process now.
Get your 2014 calendars, schedule your most important
personal and professional dates, and mark them down. Decide
NOW that 2014 will be your best year ever!
