1. Developing Your 90-Day Plan
a. Now: Start by assessing your current state—NOW. Identify key issues and challenges you’re facing. This honest appraisal forms the foundation for strategic planning.

c. Big Rocks, Strategies, Responsibilities, and Timeframes: Break down your 90-day journey into manageable chunks. Define the Big Rocks—strategic goals that demand priority. Outline the strategies, assign responsibilities, and set indicative timeframes for each component.
2. Cascading to Monthly Plans
a. Now, Where, How Framework: Transcend the 90-day plan into monthly milestones. Utilise the Now, Where, How framework to detail your current state, future goals, and the strategies you’ll employ in the coming month.
b. Focused Task and Activities: Address only the tasks and activities relevant to the month. This focused approach ensures that your efforts align with the overarching goals set for the 90-day period.
“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
3. Operational Weekly Plans
a. Leveraging Monthly Plans and Must Should Could: Develop weekly plans with a focus on operational tasks. Utilise insights from the monthly plan, prioritise the tasks that matter most, and employ the Must Should Could framework to define task priorities.
b. Strategic Task Allocation: Allocate time to each task strategically. The weekly plan acts as a bridge, translating high-level strategic goals into day-to-day operational tasks.
4. Effective Daily Planning
a. Must Should Could Lists: Break down daily tasks into Must, Should, and Could categories. This prioritisation fosters focus, preventing the overwhelm of an extensive to-do list.
