Planning for a month sometimes starts on the last day of a month; sometimes it happens during the first week of every month. There are times when we might not be interested in planning in a month.
We will stick to our routine monthly plan, which we follow every month. At times, we will be catching up on all our plans in our mobile with the SMS reminders to make us aware of what needs to be done. This will make us feel connected to our routine and not miss our schedule.
Have you ever thought of doing your monthly plans with a bimonthly calendar?
A bimonthly calendar is a planner with 2 months on one page. As of now, you might have done so, with one month on a regular basis. Now, think about planning for two months at a time.This can also include helping you to inspire your below actions from a bi-monthly calendar.
- Habit Tracking
- Goal Planning
- Follow-up routine
- New Implementation
Set the baseline: Start working on a bimonthly calendar for your regular plans. No need to switch off completely from your existing planning. Use the bimonthly calendar for a set of activities that need attention. If you want to walk 10000 steps every day, you need to adhere to a plan for a time on the specific days. Get a plan done on your bimonthly calendar. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Make a plan for these days and continue moving for the other month. This way, you might be creating a schedule for this month and the next month.
Make it visible: Keep the calendar as a printable and paste it in your workstation or study wall, or keep it as a digital calendar. This will help you to stay visible to your plan and need to finish your goal set for the month. Even digitally, you can have a glimpse of it.
Review it: Though you have set the calendar days for two months at one shot, you need to review it every week on the plan. Sometimes, you might have a plan on the same day. Do catch a glimpse and be sure to review the plan and become consistent in making it happen. Digitally, you can erase the contents through Adobe Reader, while the printable physical copy needs to be corrected. Do make sure to comply with your goals.
Envision long-term planning: Though you have set a goal, alone it will not be enough to accomplish the task. You need a vision to fulfil it. A monthly calendar will not give you that. In a bimonthly calendar, you have pretty much 60 days at a glance. Which will help you to maximize your vision for long-term planning. You can create a vision and get into the reality by working towards it consistently.
A new discipline is created: When you create a goal on a bimonthly calendar, you set a baseline by working on it every day. At times, you tend to review it and make any changes. There is a vision; you create it and make it happen. This will help you to stay in a process where a discipline is created for the long term. A new habit or new routine: you need discipline to make it happen every day with long-term planning.
A bimonthly calendar will help you to stay on track, maximize your productivity, and get the best out of it!
