The Reverse Planning Postcard is a lovely concept from Wheresmylunch which can be especially valuable as the new year approaches.

Traditionally, people plan a new years resolution based on a habit change or a need. The Reverse Planning Postcard introduces you to a different way. Instead of making a decision based on the need to change, you are introduced to considering where you would like to be in twelve months time.

Eg.

This could be that you will be healthier, as you have given up smoking over the previous twelve months but also that you had removed the need for patches.

Or

You picture yourself in a new job. The journey to get this job has not been easy and has meant upskilling in certain areas, and adjusting the way that you work (a subject potentially for a coaching session...). By understanding how you have achieved this new role, provides a timeline for change.

The reverse planning postcard allows an individual to feel and experience the ideal situation for them in 12 months and allows them to reverse plan for the situation thereby increasing the potential of success.

There are several ways to receive this concept and these are detailed below.
