Rapid Planning Method: How to Plan Your Day and Execute With Purpose

By Elisi Studios

Do you ever find that at the end of the day, you’ve spent the whole day working and somehow gotten nothing done? How often do you find yourself scribbling down random to-do lists on whatever piece of paper is on hand and then throwing it away, undone, at the end of the day? What if we told you there’s one quick method that can help you be more productive every day?

The rapid planning method can help you make the most of your time every day. Read on to learn more about how this method works and how you can use it to live life at your own pace.

Result

Step one of the RPM method is to ask yourself what result you really want. The more clear you can be on what you want from the day, the easier it will be to achieve that goal. Try to set SMART goals for your day.

Purpose

Once you’ve determined what it is you want, try to nail down why you want it. If you’re going to achieve difficult goals, you need to have something that’s motivating you to push through. Your purpose is your motivation, the touchstone you can go back to whenever you feel like quitting.

Massive Action Plan

With your result and your purpose in place, it’s time to come up with your massive action plan. This will be the steps you can take to make that result happen, always referring back to your purpose. This will help you devote your energy to efforts that will make a difference rather than wandering around aimlessly.

Commit and Schedule

Once you have your result, purpose, and massive action plan in place, the planning section of your rapid planning method is done. Now it’s time to commit to your plan and schedule a time to get it done. Prioritize the items that must get done, and schedule those things into your day.

Complete and Achieve 

This is where the rubber hits the road – follow your schedule and knock out the goals you’ve set for yourself. If you find yourself flagging and wanting to give up, refer back to your purpose. This will help you find the motivation to keep pushing, checking goals off your list. 

Celebrate

At the end of the day, don’t forget to celebrate your accomplishments. Even if you didn’t get everything on your list done, celebrate the things you did complete. This positive reinforcement will help keep you motivated to pursue your goals in the future.
