I have a post on the calendar specifically about 90-day planning and 90-day challenges. I’ll consider bumping that up to this Wednesday’s post if I can work in time to create the worksheet / tracker I’d like to release with it. 🙂

Better yet, ask for her input. That would be fun. 😉

Just going to warn my wife I’m going to be conducting an employee review for the next while 😉

I used to be much less focused on planning. But I’d go batty if I didn’t have a solid long-term plan now. I have more immediate lists planned out too. But if I don’t see the end game in what I’m doing today, nothing’s going to get done. If there’s no end goal, it’s almost impossible to reach the best possible outcome.

But a month or two is perfectly fine! That’s more than a lot of freelancers plan for. 🙂

I guess I have trouble with long-range planning. In high school I never applied to colleges or took the ACTs (thanks to a lousy counselor who probably assumed I wouldn’t go to college because I was from a single-parent family & dad lost his job in a recession). I went to a community college and figured things out as I went along. I graduated college without a job lined up and fell directly into freelancing. Planning more than a month or two ahead is difficult for me, which makes your accountability thread all the more impressive.

LOL It happens. This was actually going to be Monday’s post topic but I got caught up in a big client project. So I made due. 😉

But your tip is a great one. Thanks for outlining HOW to think like a boss.

I really need to sharpen my pencil and get to work on my business/hobby/business…I have been getting a lot more work without any marketing whatsoever…

Have to decide if I can take the plunge with both feet or keep testing the waters.

This is a great motivation and test to see if you are really serious or just playing a game with your hobby.

Thanks Angela. 🙂

I tend to slide into some of the same bad habits as well, so I need to get better about evaluations. I do quarterly evaluations related to my long-term goals (it’s that time again!), but I need to start adding personal evaluations into the mix. If I have time today I’ll put together a sample self-evaluation checklist and release it as a free download. If not, I’ll make sure it’s released by tomorrow. 🙂

Pinned and tweeted.

Great image, BTW, makes it easier to pin and share. 🙂
