Planning is such a powerful action designed to take you from wherever you are right now directly to the accomplishment of your stated goal. With a well-designed plan, you can pretty much achieve any goal you set out to accomplish.

However, on your path to the desired goal, you might need to overcome several Barriers of Effective Planning, such as:

✔️ You don’t know what you want –
when you don’t know your destination, there’s no possible way you’ll know how to get there. Work on defining your goals first and the steps you need to add to your plan will become clearer.

✔️ You haven’t analyzed the situation properly –
if you don’t know where you stand at the moment in relation to your goal, you’ll hardly know what you need to do to proceed. Analyze your situation first, and then decide what steps will lead you to your goals, and need to be included in your plan.

✔️ Too many distractions –
you try to do too many things at once, and you perform subpar on most of them. Give yourself space to focus on your priorities, and discard anything that isn’t important or urgent.

✔️ Lack of creative thinking –
each problem has a solution, and each impossible schedule has a creative interpretation. Think about the best and fastest ways to reach your goals, and write them down as your priorities.

To overcome these barriers and make your planning process more effective, you can follow 5️⃣ simple steps, which we are discussing in our video.
