Alright, I'll say it.

This week has been productive.

It's been busy, hectic, stressful, and at some points even infuriating. But I got shit done. And that, is the power of Planning & Goal Setting. It all started on Monday night, I sat down at my desk (the coffee table in our lounge) and contemplated what I needed to achieve in the following seven days. 

It struck me that there is no way for me to keep track of everything at once, so I jotted down anything I could think of, big and small goals down on the notepad in front of me. Some of these goals were on the short term side and some were very long term and mostly irrelevant to my Monday night, but I just had to get them out of my head and in to the physical reality.

Once I did this, I started organising these goals into a sense of scale according to the amount of time and energy it would take to achieve them. Soon enough I had a list of silly little things that I could get done in the next 2 hours, bigger plans that might take a week or 3, and long term goals that would shape my business plan and life for eternity.

So I did what any (in)sane person would do, I took all the silly little things, and decided to spread them out amongst my week, from Monday to Sunday. At the same time which I could focus on putting energy in to plans that would take weeks or more to execute. All the while with a clear head so I would find it impossible to lose sight of my long term visions and goals over the next 6 months to 10 years.

This has been a killer of a week, but I accomplished so much. Tonight I'm going to have a long ass shower, slide in to my trackies, and listen to my audiobook in bed. I think I deserve it.
