1 My Strategic Life Plan Template Your strategic life plan considers all of the areas in your life that are important to you. This plan is based on a framework of personal values, hopes and dreams. Straying from your plan on a whim becomes a risk that s quantifiable. So having any plan in place provides a means to calculate risk and manage impulsiveness. For a college student this is imperative, as the risks and available impulses are many. It s just like surfing or snowboarding. They are exhilarating and sometimes terrifying sports. For a few, calm moments, just before you launch off the top of the wave or that enormous mountain that will propel you into the twists and turns below, you can see almost everything in front of you. At once, you decide how to take the turns, manage the risk, and if you gain too much speed, how to slow down or duck out entirely. The more you practice, the better you get, and the more natural the decisionmaking feels. Going through life without a strategic plan would be like a novice snowboarder deciding to blaze down a treacherous black diamond course instead of a sensible bunny hill. Imminent disaster. This template is meant to help you organize your priorities, establish your life goals and design your own plan. Step 1: Establish Your Priorities List the areas in your life that are very important to you. This list might include your family, career, health, financial security, community service, and spiritual. Once you identify your valuable areas, number them from extremely important (#1) to least important (#20, or whatever you ended up with).
2 Step 2: Establish Your Goals For each of your priorities identified in Step 1 above, think about where you want to be in that area of your life in the next one to two years, the next five years, and ultimately, at the end of your life. MY LIFE AREAS In 1-2 YEARS I want to be here: In 5 YEARS I want to be here: Ultimately, I want to be here:
3 Step 3: Develop Your Action Plan Keep this in your mind at all times: What gets planned gets done! Without specific steps and dates, all you have is a wish list - not a plan. Writing in the details of the plan is essential to your success. This is where you set in place the action steps and deadlines to get you where you want to be and help you accomplish your goals. Consider using the SMART Model: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and within a specific Timeframe. You will need to identify detailed steps for each one of the Goals you wrote in Step 2 above. The following page shows a sample of one Life Area (Education), one goal and its action steps. You will only start your plan here, but it must end up as complete as possible. It needs to become a part of the substance of your daily schedule, and thus, your life (so you can make your life happen.) Remember, this is NOT written in stone - not your purpose, or any of the goals or steps. Just as in a strategic plan in business, things change. Life has a funny way of shifting from time to time, requiring adjustments in timing, steps, and resources. Sometimes you might simply change your mind, but to get anywhere, you must start somewhere. For more instructions, try a handout from this site: Good luck and happy planning!
