Growth is not always straight forward. Our Prisma Growth Strategies for August show you: how to take action and how Personas can help you. And despite all the growing and expanding your comfort zone, never forget to treat yourself.

Action plan

An action plan is more than a simple to-do list. You start by noting your short-, medium- and long-term objectives.

Break down all actions that are necessary to achieve your goals. The smaller the better.

Remember to use SMART goals: Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-based.

Personas

Imagine your ideal client. How does your client, let’s call her Paula, start her day?

What are Paula’s challenges, desires and worries? Paula wants to impress her boss and colleagues by doing a great job. What can you provide to support her?

Once you figure out how to help Paula, you can apply it to all your clients. Personas are popular Marketing techniques. However, having a Persona helps putting the client first regardless of your own department.

Treat yourself

Some days all you need is discipline. Other days you need more to get the job done. Does a big reward motivate you to reach an ambitious goal? Do you ever reward yourself for completing a small milestone? Or just for making it through a tough day? Sometimes it is just as healthy to treat yourself for no reason at all.

Our reward it to see you grow. Plan some rest and time for rewards in your action plan. Until next month for another round of Prisma Growth Strategies.

We love to see you grow. Below you will find our Prisma Growth Strategies for the months of April and May:

SQ3R method – Prisma Growth Strategies

Have you heard of the SQ3R method?

This reading method improves your ability to understand any text. Helpful for students and professionals alike

• Survey: Scan the text.
• Question: Ask yourself questions about the text.
• 3Rs: Read the text again and note down additional questions. Recite the text in our own words. Review your notes and questions. 

Bullet Journaling

Do you BoJo? – Bullet Journaling is an effective tool for our private and professional lives. You can also do a lot more than simply noting down to-dos.  

• You can build good habits. Just fill in the habit tracker every time once a task is successfully completed
• Check in on your mental health with a mood tracker. 
• A future log keeps all your events, meetings and important dates in one place. 

Activity Log

Do you know how you spend your time? After keeping an activity log for a few days, you will! Side effects may be improved time management skills. 

You can also track how energised you were throughout the day. Afterwards, you are a better judge of your own energy and/ will know when to do which task.

We don’t have New Years resolutions as such. This said we believe that 2021 is a good year to rethink our existence.

To truly live life is to really experience it. Enjoy it to the fullest and never take anything for granted.

Love, savor, create, be passionate, risk, take chances… no more limits

There is a feeling of hope and a sense of a new beginning in the air, as we approach the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. We gear up to transition into a new, a kinder, a better year.

But let’s not jump ahead and move too quickly. Let’s take small steps into a new day and a new week. Enjoy the present and make it a good one.

This week we will announce the winners of the QuaranTeam Quiz. Stay tuned.

The secret of life is to own it !

The good and the bad, the positive and the negative.

Taking responsibility for ones action and just owning it! 💪

💭 do we want to preserve what we have or imagine what we will be from now on?
🤔 how could we change or will we not?
🖇 do we need a change of attitude to get through this or any crisis?

😎 Don’t forget to recharge the batteries 🤗

💡 In the fixed mindset, the intelligence is static.
The view of the world is deterministic, “it has always been (done) this way”

💡 In the growth mindset, the intelligence is extendable and can be developed.
The view of the world is open with a greater sense of free will.

Which mindset do you think adapts better/easier to the current situation?
