Completion Dates

Completion Dates Are Key!

One of the key’s in setting Objectives is a "when date", what I observe is we work on weeks and normally Friday’s being the action end (what’s wrong with Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday???)

One of the ways to look at this is understanding your times between reviews/meetings and ensuring the completion date is between them, additionally get the solution completed a bit before the review date to see how the output has changed.

Another way ensures your actions are assigned a time (minutes/hours), then allocate a specific time each day that you can work on the solution based around you daily routine and stick to it! 

If you have a more substantial initiative, the key is breaking it into pieces (eat the elephant one bite at a time) that can be accomplished within a few weeks. Again, allocate a time/day to work on it.

Here's a link to my digital resources page where you'll find numerous templates and exercises, some free and some paid, including my unique 90 Day Action Plan template, ensuring you understand the timing of each task and how that breaks down in to getting things done. - Digital Resources
