How to plan effectively

The first thing in planning anything is to find what are you planning for, you must find a specific thing a goal to work on. Please keep planning things but dont really know where they want to go. So, before doing anything understand what you want. Try to find exactly what is your requirement in life and what exactly do you want. Once you have a clear picture of what you find, half of the work is done. If you find it difficult to find what exactly you want, then you can create a success matric, like a value or calculation of something that needs to be solved and that value should be exact.

Once you have thing in your mind, what exactly you need to solve, the next step which I use is to take a piece of paper and write whatever the problem is or the whatever goal I have to reach. After doing that I write 25 ways to do it with minimal effort and fastest turn around time. And dont get up until its done. Mostly i get the right answer 19-20th time, and sometimes its on number 24,25. This helps you to unlock your brain power to solve any problem and reach any goal. Now, once you have found a way to solve that problem. Its time to move to the next step.

This step is to create an executable plan, now depending on the problem, decide the end date, the date when you think that thing you are planning to work for will be yours. Creating end dates will keep you grounded and consistent everyday. Once you have a date which might be weeks or months. Now break the problem into solvable things that are minute parts of the bigger plan. And assign tasks for each day and keep a track of them. Everyday only focus on completing the tasks first and then move to anything else. This will keep you working towards it and reach any goal in life!
