And in that time, I\u2019ve already discovered some things that are altering my plans. After all, the very act of working a plan means you\u2019re gaining new information and even discovering new ideas.\n\n\n\nPlanning is a learning process.\n\n\n\nIt\u2019s not about getting the plan right, it\u2019s about finding a starting point and then learning from the result as you go.\n\n\n\nMy plan is never set in stone. Adjusting my plan doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019ve failed or done something wrong. It means I\u2019m learning. So I start with my best guess of what I want to do and then adapt from there as I gain new information and experiences.\n\n\n\nIn this episode, I\u2019ll share how I\u2019m reallocating my resources this year to better serve my companies, what commitments I\u2019ve made for the year, the Strategic Priorities we\u2019re focused on, and what projects we\u2019re kicking off the year with.\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s what works for me when I\u2019m working the plan!
