<\/a>Phase 1 – Planning<\/b>: We talked a lot about planning<\/a>\u00a0so I won’t spend much time here. \u00a0Planning<\/a> as phase 1 is just to state what you want to get done. \u00a0If I were you and this is very important, I’d write my plan down. \u00a0For example, Pamela and I wanted to complete our basement, so we jotted down a plan.<\/span><\/p>\nPhase 2 – Analysis<\/b>: In this 2nd phase, you discuss what it will take to accomplish the project. \u00a0Notice that so far you don’t need 1 penny to begin the process. \u00a0For Pamela and I, we only needed a few things since we determined in this phase that we wouldn’t be able to do the work ourselves. \u00a0So to accomplish this project we needed money and a contractor. \u00a0Sounds simple? \u00a0Let me reassure you, everything becomes simple when you stop overthinking and get started-put pen to paper.<\/span><\/p>\n Phase 3 – Design<\/b>: \u00a0In this 3rd phase which I love, you still don’t need a dime. \u00a0This is where we needed to get specific regarding what we wanted to see and in our case completion of our basement level. \u00a0After talking to our contractor who gave us some great ideas (taking action), we went to the internet and found some pictures to give us a visual to what we wanted to accomplish. \u00a0The next step was to make sure we had our funds in place. \u00a0Just a note, I’d never start a project that resources weren’t available. \u00a0We wouldn’t want to have to put our project on hold for any reason.<\/span><\/p>\n Phase 4 – Construction<\/b>: Let the work of a well designed plan begin. \u00a0Let’s pause here for a second. \u00a0In each phase, give yourself an opportunity to use the phase as a topic of discussion when you consult God-prayer. \u00a0In this 4th phase, you’ve put together a design that you’re happy with, now pull the trigger and let the work start. \u00a0It’s as simple as that! \u00a0Don’t let doubt, worry and what others have to say stop you from making progress on your project. \u00a0Running your life is your business!<\/span><\/p>\n Phase 5 – Testing<\/b>: Let me say this up front, nothing ever goes totally as planned. \u00a0There will always be obstacles to overcome. \u00a0Know it, accept it and live with it, but more importantly don’t let it stop you from completing the goal. \u00a0In this 5th phase, you make any adjusts you need, revisit your design and taking into consideration the setback(s), you work around the obstacle(s) and make it work. \u00a0For our basement project, we wanted to implement in 2 phases, a family room with a workout room and a full bathroom. \u00a0Well it wasn’t wise to do it in 2 phases, months a part as we planned, so we needed to figure out how we could do it all at once. \u00a0We adjusted our plans. We didn’t stop. \u00a0We didn’t have to consult a counselor. \u00a0We didn’t have to take a second mortgage. \u00a0We simply altered the plan and moved forward at our own pace. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Phase 6 – Implementation<\/b>: The final phase of the project is when the plan has been completed, tested and can come to an end. \u00a0You get to see your plan become a reality. \u00a0It’s this phase which will fuel you to begin your next project. \u00a0<\/span> Life is too short to keep putting off all the projects you want to accomplish. \u00a0You’re not getting more time to do them. \u00a0So why put yourself in crunch time at the end of your life to do the things you can do now?<\/span><\/i> The Life You\u2019ve Wanted Starts With A Plan Part 2 –\u00a0A Proven Strategy to Getting Things Done In I.S. (Information Systems), the major projects that get implemented are done so by using the life cycle process we discussed last week. \u00a0\u00a0Not to get too technical and bore you to death, I need to give you […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":564,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,12],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-560","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-planning","8":"category-the-family-plan","9":"entry"},"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/20161104-TIF-Post-image-Family-Plan-Summary-2.png?fit=760%2C360&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4jb7V-92","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=560"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1512,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/560\/revisions\/1512"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=560"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=560"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kerryaclark.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=560"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
