Get Ready, Do, Done Magnetic Planner

A useful planning tool, this Get Ready, Do, Done magnetic planner is a helpful companion for supporting organisation and executive functioning skills. This planning model starts with a focus on the defined goal or target to identify what it will look like to be ‘done’ and to ‘get done’ with a task. The process includes working backwards, with the end in mind, to identify the necessary steps you must ‘do’ to reach that goal. Before doing the ‘do’, the planning model asks that you also consider what is needed to ‘get ready’ to complete the required steps.

The intention of planning backwards is to develop the executive functioning skills required to plan, organise, sequence, execute and time manage the tasks required to complete an activity. By teaching the skill of planning backwards, you are encouraging the ability to break down a more complex task into manageable sub-tasks, creating better organisation and planning. The Get Ready, Do, Done magnetic planner provides a structured and scaffolded framework for developing this essential skill for daily living, and is a helpful resource for children of all ages.
