So much of what it takes to get us over the finish line of a class, a semester or our graduation can be summed up into a simple mantra – Plan the Work, then Work the Plan.

Planning your work, planning your day, planning your week keeps you focused on what’s important and helps you ignore what isn’t.

Working the plan is submitting to the what you’ve planned out. It encourages you to not make decisions day by day – just follow the plan. It encourages you to not be driven by impulsivity or emotion – just follow the plan. It pushes you to keep going until your work is done – just follow the plan.

Plan the Work. Work the Plan.
