You probably want to know how to create a personal development plan since you clicked on this post. I need to start off by saying that personal developments can be very different depending on who you ask, but letโ€™s just get into it:

Why?

Some of you might be wondering why you even need a personal development plan. First of all, you donโ€™t need one if you donโ€™t want one, but if you want to improve your life you should probably have one. Itโ€™s there to set clear goals, reflect on yourself and hold yourself accountable. You mightโ€™ve seen part of personal development planning in workbooks and planners before and might be familiar with certain exercises.

Whatโ€™s in it?

It has a few sections that are incredibly helpful for your personal development journey:

  • Goals you want to achieve
  • Habits you wanna start
  • Habits you want to stop
  • Smaller goals to achieve for the bigger goal
  • Action steps to achieve those smaller goals
  • Figuring out what might keep you from reaching your end goal
  • How to measure your progress

How often to review it

I write down smaller monthly goals guided by the bigger goals in the plan and review them with action steps for the goals every week. How much did I do this week for these goals? What could I improve? What do I need to get done next week? I wrote an entire post about how I do my Weekly Reviews HERE. It sounds like a lot of extra work, but it takes about 30 minutes once a week and helped me a lot with turning my life into a better one.

Need a personal development plan outline to just fill in? Youโ€™re in luck, cause there is a complete chapter just for this in my upcoming workbook guide on how to get your life back together. Check it out and pre-order it HERE.
PSSST! There is a mini version of a personal development plan for you in my freebie library, so you can start planning before getting the workbook. Check it out:
