Planning in Everyday Life: A Personal Benefit

Planning is our business. It allows us to bring imagination to life, to build the incredible and unforgettable experience of a TCG event. But There is also personal benefit to planning.

Consider how much more productive you could be if you just take 10 minutes each night to plan the next day.

What are you goals? Eating healthier? More free time on the weekends? Getting to the gym? Here are a few examples how 10 minutes of planning can increase your personal productivity:

Healthy Eating

Use your 10 minutes to pack your lunch. With a pre-packed, healthy lunch, you take the thought, work, and temptation out of the equation. Not to mention bringing your lunch can be much cheaper in the long run! Have lunch meetings? Plan to bring some energizing snacks  to get you through those morning and afternoon lulls.

Weekend Free Time

Use your 10 minutes to research online services to help you get your errands complete. Harris Teeter’s Express Lane allows you to shop online and pick up your packaged groceries from the store like a drive-thru window. Walgreens allows you to auto-refill your prescriptions and will ship them to your home for free. Most banks will allow you to deposit your checks into the ATM or from an app on your phone.

The Gym

We all know we’re supposed to get there, but how do those annoying gym fanatics do it? In your 10 minute planning throw together your gym bag, download some energizing music, or search for a fun group class online. An additional benefit to help motivate you – working out can increase your energy levels, which can also help your productivity personally and in the workplace!

Thinking ahead and planning for the unexpected is our business. However, taking that skill and applying it personally can garner some major benefits.
