How to Plan without OVER-Planning
06/08/21 • 20 min
One of the MOST common issues teachers in the business world face is that we PLANNERS.
In the teaching world, we plan weeks (months!) in advance, and have a clear path of what's going to happen when from the start of the year to the end. In the business world, planning FEELS productive.
It's laying out all the details and the steps and the flows - it's AMAZING.
But in so many cases this is OVER planning rather than planning - and there is a BIG difference. OVER planning is planning for perfect.
It's planning from FEAR and need to control rather than just planning and then DOING.
On this episode of Teachers in Business I'm laying out the differences between planning and OVER planning.
Then, I'm sharing 3 SIMPLE strategies to plan effectively (without OVER planning OR ditching plans all together!)

So, what's the alternative? What about COMMITMENT?
This week on the podcast we're talking about motivation and commitment - how they're different, and how you might think about them for the long run.
