All of a sudden, 90-day planning is now sexy. Schools across the country are claiming that they are shifting to a 90-day planning cycle. Problem is, they are creating 90-day plans that look a LOT like their yearly plans. Too many goals. An over-focus on data without taking time to make sense of the data first. And, using the 90-day plans to add MORE work on their already overloaded plates.   They are giving 90-day planning a bad name.   Builders create 90-day plans with an eye towards long-term results. By focusing on removing obstacles, they solve their biggest challenges once and for all so that they can focus on the work that really matters. Every time they remove another obstacle, they create more momentum, more progress, and they can sustain that momentum and progress over the long term.   So before you jump on the 90-day planning bandwagon, make sure that you are not just substituting one ineffective planning process for another one. If you really want to see a difference this year, make sure that you are approaching 90-day planning #LikeABuilder.
