Why most planning systems fail
Entrepreneurs often juggle too many ideas at once. Some buy productivity tools, some download dozens of templates, and others rely on sticky notes scattered across their desks. The problem isn’t a lack of ambition — it’s the lack of a clear, repeatable system.
That’s why we built the MY PA system. It was designed to work for real entrepreneurs, not productivity gurus with unlimited free time. At its heart are three simple but powerful steps: Plan. Focus. Execute.
Step 1: Plan monthly
At the start of each month, you set up to five core goals. These goals aren’t vague resolutions, but clear, measurable outcomes. Each goal is then broken into projects and mapped into your monthly view.
Why monthly?
A year is too long — you’ll drift off course.
A week is too short — it feels like firefighting.
A month is just right — long enough to make progress, short enough to stay motivated.
👉 Example:
Goal: Gain 5 new paying clients.
Projects: Update service page, launch LinkedIn campaign, run 3 sales calls per week.
Step 2: Focus weekly
Every Sunday or Monday, you zoom in on your weekly priorities. From your projects, you choose the tasks that will move your goals forward this week. This prevents overwhelm and stops you from reacting to whatever feels urgent.
The weekly section in the MY PA planner helps you:
Review last week’s wins and lessons.
Choose 3–5 priorities for the week.
Time block the most important tasks.
This rhythm keeps your business moving forward in a straight line, not in circles.
Step 3: Execute daily
Big goals don’t get achieved in one heroic day. They happen through small, focused steps repeated consistently.
That’s why MY PA includes the Daily Top 3 Method — a simple but powerful practice. Each day, you choose the three tasks that matter most. If you complete nothing else, finishing these three will still move your business forward.
Pairing this with time blocking ensures those tasks actually get done, instead of being pushed aside by distractions.
The magic is in the connection
The real power of the MY PA system isn’t in any single step. It’s in how monthly planning, weekly focus, and daily execution fit together.
Monthly keeps your direction clear.
Weekly keeps your progress steady.
Daily keeps your actions sharp.
Most people plan, but they don’t connect the dots. MY PA makes sure every action you take is linked to your bigger goals.
Common pitfalls to avoid
Planning too many goals — stick to five or fewer.
Skipping weekly reviews — they’re the glue that keeps the system working.
Focusing on “busy work” instead of top priorities.
Forgetting to time block — without scheduling, important tasks often get lost.
Final thoughts
The MY PA system gives you structure without overwhelm. It’s not about filling every minute with tasks. It’s about working smarter — planning your direction, focusing on what matters, and executing daily with clarity.
