Make 2021 A Year That Works For You (Yearly Planning Framework)
This is the third year in my life where I look ahead towards a whole year and put down some thoughts and ideas on what I want to do with it. The first time I planned a full year ahead was in 2018 on pen and paper. In 2019, I published my plans for the year ahead for everyone to read. It's worked wonderfully for me (for the most parts), and thus 2020 will be no different.
Planning my life ahead helped me to quit my job even when I was offered double salary, start a business that grew to $29k MRR bootstrapped, and now start another business with a whole team and some other news I can't share yet. I know how thinking ahead can transform one's life.
This post is about sharing the simple yet practical and easy-to-follow framework in your hands, so that you too can plan your year ahead and take greater control over your life.
Before we dive in, here are a few things to keep in mind.
- Longer horizon plans should be directional
- Short-term plans should be specific
- Focus on the inputs
- Don’t try to be a superhero
