- Have you ever started something but never finished? In this video, I'll show you the P.A.T. technique so you can learn how to plan anything and actually get it done.
As an entrepreneur, my day is full of creating plans and executing them, and as more and more fill my plate, I've learned a specific planning technique to make sure I finish what I start.
If you don't have a "plan for planning" what can end up happening is you'll pile up a number of goals and to-dos that can lead to procrastination, it can have you feeling unaccomplished, and ultimately you might even give up.
We don't want that to happen.
Use the P.A.T. technique to make sure you follow through on what you start?
Once you learn how this works, let me know in the comment section below what you're hoping to plan next, and how this technique might help you.
Thanks, and happy planning!

I keep procrastinating for perfection. :'(
Literally, trying to get rid of this habit. Thanks Pat. You always help.
I am starting an online business and I am trying to get everything in order to make sure I don't forget anything. I'm going to use this method to put everything in order so that I can be sure to make everything fall into place. Thanks for the video Pat
Hell yeah. The thing that really made it for me and improved my productivity by... A lot ! Was the book "eat that frog". Simple but that's way I managed to write 4 books, shoot 2 programs and market them all :)
Take it and make it!!! Yes! thank you for that one... 5 day challenge is what I will be planning... thank you!
This was actually a really cool strategy for dealing with things.
Thumbed up b4 watching. You the man Pat.
AWESOME! Planning Private Label product launch :). Thank you as always, Pat!!!
Working on my companies new website and blog as well as a personal blog. I love the PAT method. Going to try it today!
So simple! I’ve used Post Its for organizing for years...but I never seem to get out of my own way in the execution phase. Step 3 of “Take It & Make It” is so simple and exactly the technique I needed for getting one task done at a time.
I am finishing up the first draft of my first book right now and each chapter has color coded Post Its for each subsection of each chapter. Pulling one Post It at at time and checking each one off is the plainly simple (“DUH!”) technique I needed to work make my writing time laser focused. Thank you for that, Pat!
Nice. I hope it works for you too Adam!
Planning a trip to Italy, Rome, Florence, Venice, Sicily then Rome again with 5 adults and 2 kids. Next planning to start a new podcast, at the moment I am learning as much as a possible. Thanks for the great video Pat!
About to plan episode 1 of my podcast! YAaaaaaay! Thanks for this.
I think you just cracked my brain open! My husband has always said his brain is like a rolledex, while I always says post it notes (like in Bruce Almighty)! Taking what's in my head and putting it on the walls... Genius!
Going to apply this immediately my blog. Thank you!
I’m gonna try this method out to write a book. Thanks so much!
I’m planning a workshop, I will definitely use the post it method.
Thank you, this is a brilliant idea, I am definitely going to try this.
Incredibly simple. The one post it at a time execution to work through the tasks is brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
This is what I've been doing to plan out videos and prioritize my freelance work right now. And physical notes have been the best choice ever.

Pat Flynn awesome! Thank you so much!
Pat Flynn - love your style. I'm planning my Podcast! Coming to you from Orange County, California!
Very informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Have an amazing day. 👍747 likes
Thankyoufor sharing PAT this helps me so much.
I started using post it notes, and I place them on a cork board; it’s a great way to manage my over-abundance of “great ideas.” Really enjoy your concepts and presentations, Pat! Keep up the great work. Oh, and I’m currently working on an ebook, 2 websites, and 2 online videos/commercials.
OMG, this is so simple and yet so powerful! I am a visual type, so I will try this asap. I'm starting my own business and this is exactly what I needed. I have a bunch of ideas all the time, but never seem to accomplish them as I wish. Sometimes I don't even write them down, since I think to myself it's stupid to have an idea, that I can use only in a few months, when the business is running... Now I can write down as many ideas as I want! Great video! Thanks again!!! :)
This is excellent!! I'm currently planning the launch of my personal website/blog. Can't tell you how much this video (and the blog post it came with) was a sigh of relief for me. I feel I can wrap my head around this thing now. THANKS, PAT! :)
Yup, first (real) blog post...it's stuck. Gonna get some post-its this afternoon and USE THEM! Thanks, Pat!
You got this Colin!
A great reminder Pat, how many times do we have a real inspirational thought and it gets lost. I've started using Trello boards for planning and connected it to my calendar on my mac to block out time...hoping to focus my mind on singular tasks.
Thanks Pat. I think this is a great technique and will help with my scatterbrainness... :) I've got a project in mind that I'm going to use this for... Thanks.
Great process to work through. Thanks
Now I could see Elrond and the council with a big white board planning the Fellowship and their journey. Lol
I'm currently using Post it note planning to rework my craft blog.
Super cool! Thanks for the tip Pat.
Never thought of using Post-it Notes as a physical mind map!
Planning my new opt-in guide. Thanks for the timely video, Pat!
Planning my podcast episodes (after taking your course)...along with some content upgrades and the marketing strategy for podcast...I have a ton of colorful post it notes on my whiteboard...thanks Pat! :)
Great Ideas Im planning to write a book and create an online course. My mind is always so scattered this is just what I need.I just orders posted notes
Awesome and simple! Love the mindmapping idea with post-its
Planning right now for a HUGE undertaking for myself and some clients of mine, so this is helpful
I am working on a launch plan for my membership site. Totally overwhelmed by all the ideas I have in my head. Should use your approach, Pat. Thank you!
Great info as per ususal Pat!! Easy, simple and effective!! Thanks so much!
Thanks, Pat! Love it. This is what schools I've worked at uses when we brainstorm ideas. We used the Design Thinking model (Stanford's D.School) and like you said, writing one idea at a time on a single post it with a sharpie forces us to use less words and get to the point. I've used this when I teach my K-12 students to get them to think visually. I like your idea of taking 1 post it and work on that and put it away when done. Love it! Peace!
Thank you very much Pat .
Thank you for reminding me :) Im going to use it to live out my new TH-cam video :)
I'm thinking of creating a resume course-I want to beta test it with students I know first. Going to use post-its to get all the pieces out and onto the wall! Thanks for the tip!
Post It Notes... YESSSSS!!!! 👍
Love it! Totally doing this for my daughter’s birthday! Thank you for all your ideas and your willingness to share them! 😊😁
Thank you Pat! Very timely for me today!
Happy to hear it Chester! I appreciate you!
Excellent tips as always Pat
Flippin’ brilliant Pat. Thank you sir!
Thank you John!
Ive been trying to figure things out and trying different systems. I can’t wait to try this!
Thanks for this! I'm going to attempt to use this method for writing an important funding application that we've been putting off for a while because it feels too enormous!
Well I'm planning my first workshop!
for work - re-organizing our organization structure. Personally, launching the blog!
Love this PAT Plan PAT. I actually do this already and use it to build my blog. I just use bullet notes in Word instead of posts and cross them off when done
Great method! I’m a avid supporter of mind mapping and I was trying to get it somewhere where I would be sure to see it like my wall. Trying it for my next project
Always need encouragement - so thanks for this video!
I’m planning my lead magnets to start my mailing list.
I needed this video! Thanks, Pat!
Next up: building my email list. Thanks for this very valuable productivity tip Pat! Hmm...I sort of knew the colors served a purpose. Never thought of using them like this. Brilliant! Thanks again!
Interesting concept.
I'll have to keep this in mind and try it later.
Hi Pat, just wrote a blog post about a similar topic of organizing tasks (in czech language though, sorry ;-) ), so I linked your video there, hope you do not mind. It is a great inspiration ;-) Thanks!
Im trying to start a pod, yayyy Im so nervous, mainly excited!!!
This is great! I am so going to try this for my next project.
Hi Pat, your video came at a time when I am overwhelmed with my website and kind of all messed up, but thanks for the heads up man, thank you
Planning out my affiliate business and my shopify business. I think I need to do both because they will provide two income streams and will probably grow at different speeds..Goal is "steady flow". Then after a year, work on the one that is flowing the best.
Love it shared and implimented thankyou xxx
Really cool Pat! I'm planning my new video :)
Awesome advice! Thanks Pat, pretty clever how you made the acronym your name, probably why you have so much success, lol.
Got a lot of ideas now I know how you use them and act upon them!
It's an interesting idea. Having seen how much you love them, I'm tempted to give it a shot. I've always preferred to be electronic and use Trello and Evernote to make notes. But I can see the benefit of having it out of the screen.
that's a great strategy. It is nice to think only about one small piece at a time. Kind of a big problem right now because I am launching a new biz and the next thing is already knocking on the door too. I have only two weeks to plan two months trip to Europe with my kids. Quite too many projects I think :) Thanks for the tips, Pat!
Thank you so much! ✨💯🙏
simple but helpful. KUDOS
Good idea, I use Trello for this too which allows me to have my project with me at all times to work on. Just an idea. Thanks so much for your inspiration.
Trello is great as well, that's essentially the same idea here, except software vs. physical. You rock Fred, thanks!
I was thinking the same thing Fred. I use Trello for this too
Love Trello! Can’t believe the free version is so great!
great! thanks for this PAT!
My pleasure, Dennis!
So funny, that smile when you said the PAT formula. Were you thinking, OK I know thats corny? 😋
Haha yeah, pretty much. I’m the king of corny my wife would vouch for that. 🌽
Love this video Pat! Simple, yet so helpful! Excited to try it vs the normal brain dump on paper that still leaves me feeling overwhelmed. Just one sticky note at a time that’s all. :) I’ll be trying it out for the planning of a new curriculum of a new career coaching course for the marines I teach during their career transition out of service.
Thank you 👍
tysm for this formula
Pat loves his Post-It-Notes. I am planning on building a project with my podcast community using Facebook Live. Each week I will build a small part of the kit to show them how easy it is to put it together and use, and at the end, I will have a live demo of what we built together. Post-It-Notes will help break down how much work needs to be done in each Facebook Live session.
#teamflynn
Thank you
I mostly use checklists instead of post-its. The satisfaction of crossing each item helps me to keep going so that I can cross the next one.
I break my goals down to very very small tasks and I attach a star rating to it, each start represents 30 minutes.
The star rating helps tell my lazy brain "Just do this for 30 minutes and it'll be done! Then you can go back to TH-cam".
That's how I tackle big tasks like starting my blog(easysoftwaredeveloper.com/) and building software.
Hi Pat! New to You! Starting my new Podcast - Dani Does using your Tips and Tricks! Hate Post It’s! Doing it anyway for Cast Episode planning! Thanks for the assist! Appreciate You!
I love it! This will help a ton as I just started my next project, a travel course. Now I jus hope I can find post-it notes in Bali.. Paper and tape would be a tiny bit more cumbersome.. haha
A podcast!!!!!!
I'm planning One exam. Thank you!
Thank you...great idea. I have seen you talk about his before, but somehow this made more sense. Question, how are you able to use clips from famous movies without the rights? Can we clip other videos like that? Are they public domain? I would love to be able to....thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! Kathleen
“Fair use” is what it’s called there’s a lot of legal related to that obviously so before doing anything I’d make sure you speak to a lawyer for your particular usage and application. If you look up “Tim Schmoyer Fair Use” here on TH-cam you’ll find a good video about it as an introduction.
Planning a bridal evemt for June! I use Trello, so it's sortof digital post its :)
I am from Bangladesh
I like your videos
A new membership program to help more people.
Pat, you provide such great information. Thank you for that!
I'm new to the idea of passive income and have done some research on it for the past few months, but I'm really struggling to find an idea and getting it going. I seem to be caught in analysis paralysis mode, and it's proving difficult to get past. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Pat, great info as usual! Got a question: what about copyright of using images from movies or TV shows? in this one you use a Jim Carrey and a clown for example. There´s no copyright on those images regarding TH-cam strict policies in terms of rights? Thanks Pat!
My first niche site
I'm trying to plan a new routine bc my current one is leaving me unhappy. The more productive I try to be the less actually gets done.
I am planning my freebie for my email list and what comes after the blog, ebook, and supporting resources. I'll need magnets as our post it's are crummy.
What?! I'm here early!
I'm planning on making a few video games for Android. I will post them to both of my channels
I am planning from when to write a blog posts and I want to write a ebook.
would it be helpful to use them for writing articles ? i get overwhelmed everytime i have to start writing a new one
Yes! I do it for that too, every single blog post!
This would be good for planning a project but did anyone use this for planning their week and their day??? I'm not sure it works with for that. Can anyone share how they use this in that way?
I can recommend checking out Trello for this. It's free and super easy to get started with.
read his book will it fly
>> Pat, all your videos come at the right time, Im writting a book, tell me what you think of the Objective: Best way to buy a Home and create additional income to pay it faster!Looking to stablish myself as a figure that walks step by step on the process of getting your home and give you a plan to have additional income without expending to much time on it. I am a Mortgage broker and being doing digital marketing for the last couple of year. As always, thanks for sharing and I wish you nothing but the best!!!
Better than trello?
Different. And yes. In my opinion. You can’t take a trellis card and stick it on your keyboard to remind you the next time you’re in your office that that’s the one and only thing that you should focus on right now.
