My Strategic Life Plan

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 decision- making 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).
#1 - Spiritual #5 - Career
#2 - Family #6 - Financial Security
#3 - Health #7 - Community Service
#4 - Education #8 - Social Life
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 2-3 years I want to be here: In 5-7 years I want to be here: Ultimately, I want to be here:

Social Life Attend to family/relatives’ gatherings
gatherings social skills

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 Time-frame. You will need to identify detailed steps for each one
of the “Goals” you wrote in Step 2 above. The next 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.
Good luck and happy planning!
