Taking Stock of Your Year and Gratitude

​As we start rolling into the end of the year our work cycle can be filled with planning, and likely a number of celebrations, closures and connecting with clients. Over the last few months I have been enjoying facilitating the Plan.Do.Track™ series of virtual retreats. These four hour programs are aimed to support professionals in quick sound bytes around their own planning for projects (or year end), as well as getting into action and starting to get data around what’s working and what’s not.
In that spirit, I wanted to plant two seeds. One, what upcoming opportunities do you have to say thanks? When was the last time you reached out to your community to thank them for their support, or to take the time to reminisce about a 2018 project?Taking time to pause is critical in today’ work space, and we don’t always do it. What is one meeting or celebration with a past client you’d like to add before the end of the year? Schedule that now!
Second, I’d like to plant the seed around building in time to take stock before we get to year end. Perhaps you’ll join me for an upcoming Plan.Do.Track Virtual Retreat Thursday November 28 - 1 - 5 pm ET, December 5 - 1 - 5 pm ET, December 20 (1-5 pm ET) OR simply, maybe you’ll use some of these questions to support you in reflecting and taking action:

1. As you look back to your initial goals for 2018, what have you achieved?
2. As you look back to your initial goals for 2018, what has shifted? What was important about those shifts? Why did they happen?
3. What is still left to do this year?
4. What is it going to take to complete these projects?
5. What is important about getting these projects done?
6. Can any undone tasks be deferred to 2019? Delegated to someone else?
7. Build in time to get it done! While you may not have huge chunks of time, what are the regular steps you can take on a daily or multiple days a week process?
8. What do you want to do to invest in getting these projects completed?

I also wanted to take a moment to thank you for your support. I continue to enjoy receiving emails about how you are using the planner, and what impact it is having in your work. I’ve also LOVED seeing the impact of the PlanDoTrack Virtual Retreats in the past few months and am really looking forward to facilitating more! I hope you will join me for an upcoming session to see just what you can get done in a 4 hour window. 
Enjoy moving these forward!
