Planning That Works With Your Life, Not Against It

A research-based system for people with limited time, competing priorities, and non-negotiable responsibilities.

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”

-Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Do you recognize this cycle?

You set goals with genuine hope and intention. You make plans. You feel ready.

Then life happens. Work gets busy. Energy crashes. The plan falls apart.

And you think, “What’s wrong with me?”

Nothing is wrong with you.

The problem is you’ve been using planning systems designed for people with unlimited time, consistent energy, and flexible schedules.

That’s not your reality. And those systems will fail you every time.

The PLAN to WIN is different. It’s a step-by-step system designed for people with limited time, competing priorities, and real-life constraints who want progress that actually sticks.

Why Listen to Me?

I am a high school teacher who has taught rigorous AP and IB classes to more than 3,000 students.

For over two decades, I’ve worked in an environment where:

The bell rings whether I’m ready or not

Deadlines can’t be moved when I’m tired

The school year ends when it ends, not when it’s convenient

I don’t get to postpone deadlines when I’m not feeling motivated.

So I built a planning system that works regardless of how I feel. One that survives disruption. One that creates results in constrained conditions.

This is the system I used to write a 50,000-word book while teaching full-time.

I’m not a productivity guru with a flexible schedule. I’m a teacher who has proven this system works in demanding conditions for over two decades.

And now I’m sharing it with you.

The 7-Step PLAN to WIN Framework

P - Picture Your Success

L - Lock In One Clear Goal

A - Analyze Your Starting Point

N - Name the Elements

W - Write Out the Sequence

I - Implement the Plan

N - Navigate Challenges

Each step builds on the last. Miss one, and your plan falls apart. Get all seven right and progress becomes inevitable.

What You’ll Walk Away With

  • Clarity on which goal deserves your focus right now

  • A complete roadmap from where you are to where you want to be

  • A sequenced plan so you always know the next step

  • Strategies so disruption doesn’t derail you

  • A repeatable system you can use for any future goal

  • Progress that is sustainable, not dependent on motivation

Most importantly, you’ll finally understand that the problem was never you.

It was the system.
