Building Planning Skills

Goal

Build daily and long-term planning skills to support goal setting and follow-through.

How

Begin with a self-rating scale to identify support needs (See Resources). Use a 24-hour time-blocking planner to teach basics like time estimation and task order. Once learners are confident, introduce weekly and monthly planners to work toward longer-term goals.

Context

Apps like Trello, Notion, and Todoist can support learners who enjoy tech. For others, a simple list of 10 steps to reach a goal can be just as effective.

Tip

Teach SMART goal-setting to help learners create clear, actionable, and trackable goals. Guide them through goal tracking and celebrate wins!Created in collaboration with Rebecca Dumas, M.A, BCBA, Founder of Pivot Your Way
