How do I actually plan a project?!

from Questions From Creative Minds with Nina Lenton · host Nina Lenton

I’m answering questions that I have been asked by people who have creative minds.In this episode, I talk about planning projects. I do it using the example of a client I worked with who wanted to set up a YouTube channel and share the resulting videos with her existing audience as well as wanting the videos to bring her new clients and connections.A bit of a caveat to this one. I’m conscious that I find planning easy, likewise splitting overwhelming ideas into smaller phases and tasks. And that my brain works in a fairly linear way, so that this suggested way of planning may not work for everyone. It may need further tweaks to really make it work for you.Interestingly, I do often work with clients who have an ADHD diagnosis, or suspect that they have ADHD. And I know that planning next steps for them has not always been as simple as I perhaps made it sound in the audio. (I mention ADHD in particular just because it’s a theme that has come up quite a lot with clients and potential clients I’ve spoken to over the last year.)So what I’d say about this episode is - if after listening to it, planning still sounds overwhelming and impossible, I’d be interested to know that. I’m still learning how to help people plan - so anything I can learn would be really valuable to help me improve the way I talk about planning. If it’s not something I can easily share broad tips on, then it’s good to know that. And if actually it’s just that my help is best 1:1 then it would be good to understand that too.If you would like some 1:1 help with planning a project, visit my website to find out more about my ‘untangling’ sessions. I am also interested in having a chat for market research purposes to understand what it is about planning that’s daunting and overwhelming. So if you hate planning, send me a message and let’s have a chat 🙂.If you enjoyed this audio and would like to be notified when the next one is published, please subscribe here: This is a public episode.
