It’s never been easier to keep learning. Not that many years ago, there was exactly one public website on Earth. If you wanted information, you had to trek down to your local library for a book. Now there are over 600 million websites putting the sum of human knowledge at your fingertips. It has literally never been easier to learn and grow.

But too many people don’t take that advice. Once they finish school, they get a few years into their careers… they figure they’ve arrived, and there’s no more learning to do. They couldn’t be more wrong.

One of the best ways to keep that growth happening is with a personal development plan.

Start with the end in mind: Where do you want to be 5 years from today? Then list the skills, habits, and learning you need to aggressively pursue to get you there. Then, plan out the steps…and get aggressive on your learning plan. Finally, make a detailed list of necessary steps toward each goal.

That’s it. Nothing fancy, nothing complicated, nothing long—just a concise plan to keep you sharp and moving forward.
