Creating Your Personal Life Plan

I am a busy executive, husband, father, grandfather, blogger, and Sunday school teacher. I play a lot of roles. I’ll bet you do, too. I am often asked, “How do you get it all done?”

Two words: Life Plan.

Sadly, I have met very few people who have a plan for their life. Most are passive spectators, watching their lives unfold, one day at a time. They are reactive rather than proactive.

They may plan their careers, the building of a new home, or even a vacation. But it never occurs to them to plan their life.

Michael’s e-book is brilliant. Discovering your purpose and acting on it is crucial to becoming who God created you to be. Creating Your Personal Life Plan is POWER-PACKED, simple-to-follow and has the potential to be life-changing!”

In fact, most people spend more time planning a one-week vacation than they spend planning their life.

I believe that this is why so many people end up discouraged, disillusioned, and wondering what went wrong. They arrived at the wrong destination.

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be this way. You can live your life on purpose by creating your own personal life plan.

Why do you need a life plan? Three reasons:

  1. It will give you clarity about where your life is headed.
  2. It will keep you in balance when things get crazy.
  3. It will give you peace of mind, knowing you are are addressing those aspects of your life that matter most.

Creating Your Personal Life Plan is not so much an e-book as it is a life planning experience. In the e-book, I will take you through:

  1. A visualization exercise that will give you enormous clarity on what matters most.
  2. A five-step program for identifying where you are NOW, and how to get from here to where you want to be.
  3. A weekly and quarterly process for keeping your life on-plan and moving in the direction of your highest priorities.
  4. Two planning templates, a Word document and a separate Excel document, that will make it easier for you to create your plan and keep it up-to-date.

    Thank you for making me reconsider how I spend my time. Simply as it seems, this would be the first time I record my life’s expected outcomes. I must accept that old as I am I had never put everything that is important to me on the table. I liked that you recognize God as your first priority, we all should. I also agree that you place yourself second,we can not love our neighbors if we do not love ourselves.

    You really know how to add value to your content Michael. I’ve been a passive reader for quite some time, but today’s post on virtual assistants and the previous post on vision reminded me of all the great content I have been missing out by not subscribing. This site just keeps getting better!

    Wow, Dana. I don’t understand how this comment does anything other than reflect the bitterness of the person who wrote it. How do statements like “you are full of yourself” and “all I can see in your plan, is that you are self-centered” make sense or fit here? Should Michael Hyatt have to apologize (a) for being successful in his chosen career path and having what you view from a distance outside of it as a “wonderful life” (b) giving away for free an e-book and template that others can choose to use (ot not) for themselves to help in improving their ability to manage their life and living it with purpose and clarity towards what they hope God is asking them to become? Maybe, Dana, it’s time to look at your own judgmental attitudes, implied envy or maybe you are just a member of Michael’s family (you seem to share the same last name) and this flame was a joke because you sure do seem to give a lot *OF* ‘think about’ in your comment, but very little of anything substance  *TO* actually THINK ABOUT.  But thanks for posting and good luck with your less than wonderful life, J.B.

    Hi Michael,
    I recently stumbled upon your blog, and I have to say, what you say is amazing stuff. I am 20 years old, and I don’t read self-help books or motivational books. I’m more of a passive life watcher, as you said once. However, your stuff really hits home with me- maybe it’s the simple blog format, with lots of content in a small amount of space.
    Anyways- my point is this, I have a very large question for you, that entails many small questions. But since I can’t ask you directly (understandably), I’m commenting in the best place I can think of.
    I want to create my own Life Plan, and to start making changes. But.. I’m stuck and need some help. As I said before, I’m only 20. Life is just beginning for me. I’m in college- but taking off this semester because I need to turn myself around. I was’t focused at school, and I’m not motivated in life. My next option will be the military if I don’t figure this out. I’m also overweight- I’m a female weighing 190 lbs. I should be at 120 or 130 at most. I need a new job- and while applying is easy, it’s nerve wracking, especially when I’ve only had one job so far in life- at McDonald’s since I was 16.
    My question is this: In all that you say, how can you relate it to someone young? Someone who wants to still be spontaneous in life, without a career, still developing goals and ideas, unsure about their faith, etc. I’m hoping you can help me out, and I also hope this comment doesn’t appear overly daunting.
    Thank you so much!
    Kimberly Adams

      Thanks for writing, Kimberly. It’s awesome that you are only 20. That was about when I started to figure life out. I didn’t know much, but I knew I wanted my life to matter. That made me start asking a lot of questions:
      How can I really live?
      How can I experience genuine love?
      How can I be sure my life matters?

      Perhaps most important, what is at stake? You have been given the gift of this one life. What will you do with it? It matters more than you know!

    • http://www.ChristianFaithAtWork.com/ Chris Patton

      Kimberly,

      I cannot answer all of your questions, but I will offer two pieces of advice from a 41 year old position of experience.

      First and foremost in my mind is deciding about your faith. You mention that you are unsure of this. From my perspective, I know of many decisions I would go back and change if I could. This is because I made these decisions before I was certain about my faith. In my opinion, if you will settle this in your heart and mind, then the rest will fit more easily into place.

      The second piece of advice I would give is to read a book recently written by one of your peers. A now 22 year old woman named Katie Davis wrote a book about her choices at this age. It is called “Kisses From Katie” and it is an inspiring story. I am not suggesting you follow in her footsteps necessarily, but you will likely get a very fresh perspective for your own decisions.

      I, like Michael, think it is fantastic that you are asking these questions at your age. You are ahead of the game!
