Tip

With all the uncertainty of the pandemic and its fallout, it's never been harder to make a long-term plan. At the same time, planning is one of the best ways to reduce your stress and anxiety about the future. Micro-planning (or breaking down your vision into smaller chunks) can help. There are six key elements of micro-planning:

  1. Purpose: Identify a high-level purpose that motivates you in your professional life.
  2. The Year: Make a big-picture plan for the coming year that aligns with your purpose, based on the best information you have available.
  3. Quarters: At the beginning of each quarter, reassess your performance. Set specific goals to ensure that your work is still aligned with your purpose.
  4. Months: Each month, take a look at your goals for the quarter and assess where you stand with them. Do you need to make any adjustments?
  5. Weeks: At the start of each week, make a weekly to-do list, rather than a daily one that’s a mile long and leaves you feeling defeated when you shut down for the day.
  6. Days: Finally, track your energy on a daily basis. Gathering data about your physical, mental, and emotional energy at the end of the day can give you powerful information as to how to optimize your workflow.

🇨🇳 为你的未来制定一个更灵活的计划

考虑到大流行及其影响的不确定性,制定长期计划从未如此困难。同时,计划是减少你对未来的压力和焦虑的最好方法之一。微观计划(或将你的愿景分解成小块)会有所帮助。微观规划有六个关键要素:

  1. 目标:确定一个能激励你的职业生涯的高层次目标。
  2. 年度:根据你现有的最佳信息,为下一年制定一个与你的目标相一致的大局计划。
  3. 季度:在每季度初,重新评估你的业绩。设定明确的目标,以确保你的工作仍然符合你的目标。
  4. 月份:每个月,看一看你本季度的目标,并评估你的立场。 你需要做什么调整吗?
  5. 每周:在每周开始的时候,列出一周的待办事项清单,而不要每天列出一英里长的待办事项清单,当你关闭一天时,你会感到沮丧。
  6. 日子:最后,每天跟踪你的能量。在一天结束时收集关于你的身体、精神和情绪能量的数据可以给你关于如何优化工作流程的强大信息。
