Set aside about an hour on your chosen day for planning. I know some folks who do theirs on Friday. The weekend is a good time to do it because it allows you to both review the previous week’s successes and failures and look ahead to the next week. Pick a day that you’ll use to establish your Weekly Attack Plan. Watch the VideoĮstablish Your Attack Plan Day & Set Aside an Hour to Plan Maybe it will work for you, too, or at least inspire you to come up with you own system.


I don’t claim that it’s the best way to plan your week, but it’s worked for me. It’s sort of a mishmash of time and task management ideas from Stephen Covey and David Allen. Think of your weekly calendar as an Attack Plan for Life: it’s where you hash out the tactics and logistics to make your long-term vision a reality.īelow I share how I go about my Weekly Attack Plan sessions. It allows you to manage the day-to-day and often trivial tasks along with your long-term plans and goals. The power of weekly planning lies in the perspective and control it provides for your life instead of drifting along, you give yourself a birds-eye view of the maze below, and harness your newfound freedom in order to do, be, and get wherever you want to go. The rigors of my legal studies on top of my work on the law review and the Art of Manliness required that I had my days planned to the minute so that I could get everything done. When I got to law school, my weekly planning sessions became even more crucial. Stephen Covey’s (R.I.P.) First Things First was the catalyst for the change. Things turned around for me as soon as I instituted a new habit: weekly planning. Things in my life started falling between the cracks very quickly, and I soon found myself struggling beneath an overwhelming pile of to-do’s and obligations. I pretty much was flying by the seat of my pants every day. One of the things I struggled with the most my first few months away from home was managing my time. It’s an open plain of freedom, and the way is so broad many young men get completely lost. Once you leave home for the first time, all that structure is gone it is up to you to shape each day and get things done. Growing up, each day is pretty well-scheduled out for you.
