How to start a life plan?
The best way to start is by creating some time slot in your agenda. In the beginning it is advised to at least plan a session every week. It does not need to be a long session an hour might be sufficient. Putting it in your agenda is a good way to ensure you do not forget or let it slip. Alternatively you can decide to choose a fixed day. For example 'every Wednesday evening after bringing the children to bed'. The aim is to create momentum. This is exactly why new year resolution normally have little or no success. Evaluating once a year is lacking momentum which is key to successful life coaching and planning.
