01 Grab a Copy of the Prompt 52 Notebook

Grabbing a copy of the Prompt 52 Pocket Notebook means that you don’t have to wait for each prompt to be released on the blog. You can get ahead of the game and dip in and out of the various prompts as you wish – focusing on what is relevant to you right now.

02 Schedule some time for your Career Development Journalling

You shouldn’t just focus on Career Development when you have itchy feet, are thinking about looking for a new job, feeling under pressure or need a pay rise. Career Development is so much more than that and should be something that you consider all the time at the back of your mind. This is why we recommend that you dedicate time (schedule it in if you have to) to writing in your prompt journal and using the 52 prompts each week.

03 Answer a Prompt each week

Using the Prompt 52 Pocket Notebook and answering a prompt each week will help you develop a regular journalling habit so that writing in the prompt journal and actively thinking about your career, your skills and your personal development on a regular basis becomes the new norm.

This is not just about actively progressing your career it is also important for your mental health and well-being and ensuring that you have job satisfaction.

04 Use the Prompts and your Answers to the Prompts as a way to Review and Reflect on your Career Development Goals

Once you have started writing in your Prompt Journal your answers can then be used as part of your review and reflection process. If you don’t have a specific process or routine in place and setting one up isn’t your style you can simply use what you wrote about to work out the next steps towards your goals or simply what you might like to do next, what you want to do more of, less of, talk to someone about etc.

05 Create Actionable Next Steps

Finally, commit in writing to what you want to do next!
