The speed at which you create your RPM plans increases geometrically once you begin to use this system. The reasons for this are two-fold:
You are constantly not only improving your speed at doing 16516e415q your plans, but as the RPM thought process becomes second nature to you, you will be thinking and creating plans at lightning speed.
Often you will create a plan - an RPM block, a plan for your categories, or a plan for a project - that you will be able to use again and again. This is because the same kinds of Results/Outcomes tend to show up in your life consistently (especially those related to your categories of improvement).
Capitalize on plans that have already been created - your own as well as other people's plans. If someone you know has created a project plan to help him or her lose weight could you use this same plan as a basis with only a few modifications?
If so, it is a Pathway to Power: a pathway that has already produced results that you or anyone else can use to accelerate not only the pace at which you complete your RPM plan, but the speed with which you produce the result.
HINT: If you have access to the person who created the original plan, you might also want to ask them what was great about their plan as well as if there is anything they might do differently in the future. By modeling their success, as well as their learning experiences, you can literally compress time.
One of the most important principles of RPM Planning is that it is a top-down planning system. To be effective - and, most important, fulfilled - you must start at the level of your vision for your life and your life plan.
From there, you will go to your Categories of Improvement and your Vision for each Category.
From there, you will define your yearly and quarterly Results/Outcomes.
And, from there, you will finally complete your RPM plans for your week and for your day.
The single biggest error people tend to make in their planning is to focus on what it is they need to do on a particular day before they've first re-associated to the big picture of what their life is about.
Following the Weekly Planning Process will ensure that you do not make this error!
