  • Hi, my name is Lauren and I'm a recovering plan-a-holic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fail to plan, plan to fail. We hear this often and for so long I felt like before I could take action that I needed to create a huge in depth plan of all of the steps that needed to happen before I could take action - does this sound familiar?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Planning is an easy way for us to feel like we are achieving our goals, this is because we are future pacing ourselves to our success. This can be an amazing tool, in the right hands but for a recovering plan-a-holic like myself it's cheating!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Last week I was speaking in my membership @theprofitableproject about how I create my most profitable week this year..... I'll tell you a secret - it was taking imperfect action!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm not telling you to throw away all your plans, but if you are making all the plans and not doing any of the achieve it's time to ask yourself if you're plan-a-holic and what action you need to just do now, no more waiting. Let me know in the comments below what are you taking action on today!

  • How about a #funfact Tuesday? I know it's not the normal day for it but if you've read my about page you'll know I like to break the rules a little! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ok I'm going to share 5 fun facts about me and then I want you to do the same in the comments, it's kinda like a virtual first date then.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. One place you'll never find me is a pasta bar, much to the disgust of most people I know I really dislike pasta, all kinda of pasta.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. My favourite food in this world is a draw - oysters and sashimi. I'm all about seafood!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. I'm a nerd, it's probably why I have qualification in accounting, marketing, sales and....... I'm a qualified nail tech! Ok the last one was because I wanted to be able to purchase beauty products wholesale and I did it when I was 19 at night school.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. I have a big family, I'm 1 of 2/4 I have a brother and 2 half siblings. Most of the fathers side all have 4 kids so that means when we all come together we need a whole lot of space! I love my big crazy family and that I'm really close with all my cousins even as we've gotten older.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 5. I was a state squash player when I was younger, my career was doomed pretty young because I'm pigeon toed, knocked knees and flat footed and I tend to trip over myself often!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now it's your turn, in the comments share 5 fun or random facts about you <3 Loz

  • This morning I've been sharing my day over on IG Stories (follow @laurenjunenet) and I had a PM asking how do I stay on target and get all the tasks done, there are many many things to get done every day and I'll tell you a secret.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I tend to forget all the important ones! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have an incredible long term memory, I can remember things back till I was about 18 months old! But trying to remember all the things each day.... not so much!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So how do I make sure I remember all the tasks I need to do? Well I use Asana for everything and I have 3 steps to make sure that I get the most out of this platform.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Long Term Plan:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As a big picture thinker I can tend to get caught up in all the ideas that I forget to actually get the smaller things done without having the tasks set out in front. So when starting to create a new project I create a project in Asana for this and then document and schedule all the steps. If it's not planned and in my calendar it's not going to happen!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I use Asana for everything:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To enable me to train myself to use this platform constantly I've used it for everything, it's my calendar, my business planner, my project management system, I have my shopping lists, and all my loved ones date of birth in there..... I really use this for everything :)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My calendar is colour coded:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I use a block calendar system which has been a game changer and I've bought that practice into Asana by create a colour coded calendar so that I can visually see and therefore plan my like tasks.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Want to learn more about Asana?
