Monthly Planning Session

It's that time again: a new month.

This morning, I will plan April.

I will chart my monthly, weekly, and daily billable goals.

I will review all pending deadlines (and confirm those leading into a week-long conference remain on track).

I will look ahead, into May, June, and July, to see what space might be available for billable time, non-billable time, and travel (summer and the end of my associate year approach quickly).

I will not "bill" for this time.

Some would call this lost time.

I disagree.

I will get this time back in clarity, flexibility, and organization.

These monthly strategy sessions are vital to my personal and professional growth.

Time invested is time saved down the road.
