Hello party people! Hoping everyone has been enjoying the festive season & the psychological relief that always seems to be associated with reaching the end of a year.
Personally after a very intense but immensely rewarding & successful work period over the last few months, I have collapsed in a heap; literally, my brain has turned to mush. Normally I’m uber charged powering through the day like a tribesman cutting a path with a machete in a rainforest…but I’m just mush. I am sure it is some self-correcting reflex in our bodies, the brain / body just kind of goes on strike because it knows better. Anyways, this time of year is always a bit of review, regroup & forward planning time for me & my partner David.
We try to plan out & lock into the calendar key activites, review our goals, priorities & put out a vision board. David & I are blessed (well not really, we chose!) to have access to a great group of peers & professionals from the “Anthony Robbins” personal development / coaching programs we have invested in over the last few years, so there has been a bit of chatter around us to tap into for formulating plans etc for 2012 & remind us how important this process is.
Two great resources we have tapped into were a VISION BOARD coaching webinar by fellow West Australian Katie Joy the “Global Butterfly” and some TIME MANAGEMENT clips from Scott Harris "Millionare Mentor", a super QLD coach I was fortunate to have instruct my last module of Anthony Robbins study in Fiji, early 2011.
Katie’s Vision Board webinar session was about how you can create something like a bit of a poster with pictures & words all over it that is basically your idea of what you want to achieve, focus & produce in the year ahead – its all based on your prime values of what’s important & where you want to focus. David & I have been using vision boards for a few years & we love them as a tool. Katie’s webinar session is only available for a short time via her coaching club, which you can subscribe to for free at http://www.wow-notes.com/

Scott Harris “Millionaire Mentor”– who is an extremely capable personal coach & appears from the outside to me to deeply have skill & mastery in most areas of his life, put out 3 great video clips on planning & time management for 2012. He started off with a GREAT analogy of 2012 being like a camping adventure he was packing for, with lots of luggage but limited space & he had to decide what goes in & comes on the trip & what gets left behind….my brain works this way so I really got it. For any of my close friends you will know I am a time management driven person, so Scotts session firstly made me feel normal I do this stuff !! & secondly reinforced the importance of it. You can check these out at http://www.scottharris.com.au/blog/merry-planning
Heres Scotts introductory clip on the CAR PACKING metaphor - love it ! I also love that he appears to be driving a 4WD Porche (i think?) for his family camping trip. Priceless.
So combining the two resources we have used Katie’s Vision Board session with our big picture of clarifying desires & lifestyle we want to cultivate based on our values, then Scotts time management sessions help with the execution of the year & how we are going to take constant steps towards achieving the Vision Board pictures.
Bring on 2012, and if not doing so already- invest some time in planning yourself & take control of the reins….
