HOW TO SET UP YOUR PLANNING SYSTEM
(In process, but published so I could find it for addition later. If you want this to be completed earlier, contact me.)
Why bother? Planning is the most important time saver and value creator of all you can do. You set it up not to blow time on something that doesn't mean much and you focus on those items that have the greatest value/payoff for you.
