New Templates for my plans and reflections
———–
In April 2019, I developed a new template to plan and reflect my days. The new planner doesn’t require much space and easy to fill out.
Whenever I use journals, the hardest part was to find the space to store them. It was a big burden. While I was working at the Organization, I had to move a lot. I didn’t move with my will but by the orders of the organization. Every time I moved, I had to throw away some of them because I didn’t have enough space in my luggage or our living space.
Eventually, when I left the Organization, I decided to start over my life. So, I threw away most of them.
Now I developed a new format for journaling. (1) blog – writing in the cloud/cyberspace, (2) a simple calendar format in letter size – it’s easy to store in the binder.
Some calendars sold in stationery stores have enough space to write events or plans, but the problem is that they are too big, so it’s hard to store them. This letter-sized template fits my blinder and I need only 7 sheet protectors to store the whole year. Each sheet holds 2 monthly planners, and the seventh sheet holds my yearly reflection and yearly planner.
The Importance of Ten Years
———–
For ten years, I will need only one binder and 70 sheet protectors. I can read only 10-yearly reflection papers to review my ten-year journey.
Many CEOs and teachers say, “People overestimate what they can achieve in one year. So, by setting unreachable goals for the year, they become easily disappointed, frustrated and eventually give up. Also, people underestimate what they can achieve in a decade. So, by setting too easy goals or even not setting any goals, they don’t use their potential strengths and abilities.”
This planner will record each and every day of my journey for the next ten years.

Meaning of My 2019:
The business is building a firm foundation and reaching out to more people as it moves to Lihue & joins the Chamber of Commerce. I’m also building confidence after finishing my first half marathon.
