When you put those leggings on (sans spanx) do you ever feel like you’ve just shoved a few extra pounds into em? Like you’re a sausage about to bust out of the casing with one wrong move? You know the I-can’t-pick-that-penny-up-off-the-floor kind of move. Honey, you know you’ve been there a time or two. That Sara Blakely knows a thing or two.

I use this example a lot when I start working with clients, not because they need to look slimmer or anything, but because I normally step into a hot mess when it comes to forward planning. All too many times, I see an entire launch, reboot, or overhaul dog eared for one month. Just like when we are too ambitious with that Spring ensemble from last year- your project planning could undergoing the same stress.

Shoving 90 days of work into 30.

One wrong move. One missed deadline. One sequence you can’t nail. One flu away from total and complete disaster.

Oh snap.

That was the seam bustin’ wide open.

Asana just laughed in your face.

Wouldn’t it be refreshing to have that launch, reboot, revamp or whatever mini project planned for and broken down 90 days in advance. Wouldn’t it be a nice change to clear your regular ‘ole stuff out (like that pesky blog that remains unchecked) to make room for fresh white space for the mini project?

Wouldn’t you feel more in control and your team dialed in if you had all the ducks in a row?

That is absolutely possible!

What you need is a Gameplan and I’ve got the exact solution! Let’s get you setup with your own Progress Gameplan so you can plan your next 90 days with confidence and in ultimate planning style.

Instead of getting that busy-ness high from shoving 30 into 90 (FYI: busy-ness high- the false high from being unnecessarily busy). . . what if you learned to plan to get things done AND be adaptable at the same time?

By implementing the Progress System and the principles behind it you will feel more in control. Your team will feel more confident in their next steps. And in the end, you will have a higher quality product (and process) because you are planning in advance- yet being flexible to account for any bumps in the road.

So if the later sounds way better than that unfortunate pen drop at Target, then I think you need to check out my way of doing things.

You can start with a serious from the ground up overhaul. . . or you can start small. Thinking in terms of sprints, mapping your our next 30-60-90 day gameplan, and scheduling regular reviews to make sure you are tweaking and achieving #allthethings.
