A good way to plan your long term goals for the year by creating timelines!
Organize and plan your year visually. Get a feel of your long term projects.
@ybouane congrats on the launch!
I'll try Yearly Planner. I like to have long-term strategy. Definitely, it should be corrected from time to time but the point is of having a vision.
Good luck today on PH!
Hey Hunters π!
This year I'll be building 10 products/businesses in public and this is project #3!
Last year I built and launched PomoPlanner.app a pomodoro-based daily planner and it was a great success π!
Based on the feedback I got, this year I wanted to focus on the planning of longer term goals. As I said, I'm planning on building 10 products/businesses, some of them smaller and others of a larger scale.
To accomplish this challenge, good planning is important and I couldn't find a handy tool to have a clear view this upcoming year. My first instinct was to simply use Google Calendar and make a separate calendar for my long term vision. The issue is that Google Calendar doesn't show any event in the Year view which was disappointment!
I then realised that it would be a great addon to PomoPlanner.app which focuses heavily on the day-to-day planning.
This yearly planner is very simple and straight to the point. You can add timelines to the calendar and color code them. You can label the timelines and voilΓ ! You get a beautiful view of your year!
There's also a section down where you can define your main goals for the year, it helps making them a priority during the planning.
I hope this will be useful to you as it greatly helped me organize my year and plan my challenge!
I'm open to feedback to improve the tool. If you want to follow my build-in-public challenge, follow me on twitter @ybouane, I post daily updates.
Planning is based on forecasts which are mere estimates about future. These estimates may prove to be inexact due to the uncertainty of future. Any change in the anticipated situation may render plans ineffective. Plans do not always reflect real situations in spite of the sophisticated techniques of forecasting because future is unpredictable. Thus, excessive reliance on plans may prove to be fatal.
@mitch_mitchell yes, theyβre guidelines and they represent a vision. Inevitably there will be changes especially in the timing.
Nevertheless itβs important to define long term goals.
Like this approach, especially listing most important goals! For me, the most difficult part is not adding to the list, but getting rid of projects I don't really need. Maybe you could add more features helping in prioritizing what's most important!
