Your plan
Decide where this
is going first.
Everything else here measures progress. Progress towards what is the question that has to be answered before any of it means anything, and most people never write it down.
Reality check
Was that actually a pay rise?
A number going up is not the same as being better off. Two things decide that, and neither is in your payslip: what money buys now, and what everyone else in your market got.
Figures come from that country's statistics office.
Not published for every market.
Percentage, over the last twelve months. Leave blank if you had none.
The rest of the plan
Four things worth deciding.
Where you are heading
A role, a level, or a kind of work. Written plainly enough that you would know if you got there.
What stands between
The skills the roles you want ask for, against the ones you can evidence today. The distance is the plan.
How you want to work
Hours, conditions, how you communicate, what you will not trade away. Constraints are part of a plan, not a failure of one.
Where you actually are
Fifteen minutes, four times a year, to check whether the last quarter moved you or just happened to you.
A plan makes the record mean something.
Without one you are collecting evidence for a case nobody stated.
