    I was revisiting this video and had an ah hah moment. I created the grid on a separate paper like you did, but I changed the Goal in the top left to Identity and wrote my rows as affirmations of those identities.
    Ex: instead of declutter the home, I instead wrote “My home is a clean temple.” In other words, a clean home is a vote for temple it can be for me. 😁

    This makes me think about the important (but fluid and personally definable) differences between “tasks” and “goals”. I’m in the Common Planner, too, and in looking at Goals section last week, I started thinking about what my goals are versus what are tasks that need to be accomplished apart from or as part of those goals. Your ‘everyday things I need to do to live’ category is what I’d consider to be “Tasks” in a planner, while I’m choosing to define “Goals” as something more big-picture. (Ex: Lose XX Pounds might be a goal, while Log Steps Daily might be a task.) That being said, I wish there were two such sections in the planner, one for a “Goals” overview (work goals, health goals, etc.) and another one for a “Tasks” overview (wash kitchen sink, wash windows, when to put in new water filters, etc.). Since the latter isn’t actually in the Common Planner, I’ve created a separate B6 notebook for tracking those kinds of tasks, as well as lists, ideas, daily routines, etc. It’s into that notebook that I’d actually put the rough work you did on scrap paper since I’ve come to realize that the rough work is something I want to keep given that it documents important things such as how I think, how I grew, how I got from A to B, and so on. I think we absolutely need to embrace the work, DO the work, and then document the work since that’s where our personal and intellectual development lies. Planners shouldn’t be about being pretty (as fun as that can be) but about helping us in some way(s); that being said, it’s often the work behind the final product that matters the most. Thanks for this video and for bringing up some key points while celebrating the importance of drafting, re-doing, reflecting, scrapping, revising, editing, re-starting - things that are becoming more and more scarce but that are invaluable. And sorry for the long comment but the topic got me inspired!

      Andrea I LOVE the long comment. You make a really good point about documenting the work, and how it helps us see how we can grow. If documenting it all in its own notebook works for you, I say more power to you! And I totally see what you mean about Tasks vs Goals. In my system (can't remember if I lay this out in the video) but I use the green pen to document the goals and the red pen to document the actions I need to take. But this is helping me think about where I am keeping track of the day to day things that need to get done. Thank you for commenting and watching

    By far the best thing I've ever heard in regards to goal planning: what do I need to do to function as a human being? I ALWAYS have such lofty goals and ambitions, but I ALWAYS underestimate the time and energy that I will need to invest in them, and I ALWAYS get discouraged and abandon keeping track of them, which of course leads to a severe lack of progress. This has really given me a LOT to think about, and I'm getting excited about goal planning again!

    I never realized I was struggling with anxiety to set and write down my goals for 2023 until this video. For the past month, I was inspired by other videos to start thinking about my goals but that's all I've done- think about them. This video made me realize that I am afraid/anxious to write them down. I will try to..no, I will write them out on a draft paper with pencil. I don't have to have everything figured out. They don' t have to be clear, concise, and specific on my draft. Just start by putting them down on paper! Thank you Rachelle!

    “Anxiety wants you to set things up so that you can fail at them, so you can be more anxious” 💡💡 that explains A LOT! I haven’t understood that I have anxiety until lately, but this makes so much sense! No wonder I always fail at any goal I set, or make sure I can’t reach them 😅. I’m not setting up goals this year, I’m gonna set up “wants” instead. Goals has become so negatively loaded for me 😅 so trying a new approach this year. I like your method of using different styles to find your priorities! Definitely gonna use that!

    It was great to see a really well thought out and described version of what I do. I set “intentions” in the new year , and commit to my “goals”only around Chinese New Year i.e. a few weeks into the year. This helps me because I still have the buzz to start something new along with everyone else,but also to put things into practice before I make a strong commitment to myself .. I started doing this because it aligns better with my work calendar..but even after switching jobs, I’m planning to continue the ritual

    2. Rating your life, finding out your priorities
    3. The reality of your life, what you have to do to function, how much time you are already using

The challenging part for me though, I could still write the things I want to accomplish, do and reestablish back into my life and it will still look like gibberish. It's breaking them down into daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly tasks/goals and how often I need to do those things can also be frustrating and time consuming.

I think I'm going to just pick one this year. If I get it to where I want it, I'll pick another one. But I do have so much other stuff to just live and take care of my family that I don't have even close to the extra time to do everything I want all at once. Thank you you for this perspective.

    Rachelle, you've been reading my mind these days! I've been putting off goal setting for the new year for a while now, but I really like this approach, so I think I'll be giving it a try. Everything always feels so permanent when I put it down into a pretty new planner!
    I think my biggest tip so far has been to embrace flexibility with goals - sometimes life will happen and you'll have to reevaluate and adjust your goals based on what will work for you. Last year, my personal goals were all thrown out of the window after a parent was diagnosed with a serious illness and I became my household's sole breadwinner. I'm happy to be back in a place where I can focus on myself and health again for 2023, but I'll be gentle with myself if I need to change things up!

    Hi Rachel. This video, which I'm watching 5 months after the fact, is SOOOO helpful. I've always had trouble with goal setting, even not knowing what to set as goals. Years ago, I watched the movie Backdraft. It made a lasting impression on me in that it's the first time I saw something as not human as an actual character in the drama. That was FIRE. When you were talking about anxiety, I began to look at it as a separate entity and character. Sometimes you have to see things from the outside before you know what you need to do to handle it. In any case, you've inspired me to look at some things differently. Thanks.

    Starting early enough to be able to give myself time to let things percolate has helped a lot. Also, lowering my expectations for my own energy and decreasing the number of hours in the day when I am goal-focused. Planning with “ideal me” in mind is a recipe for failure. If I do more than planned, nifty. But I no longer want to feel behind 2 weeks in.

      "I no longer want to feel behind 2 weeks in"... HARD SAME. At work, my team and I figure out how many hours we have in the week for priorities and then cut that in half and plan around that. It's always a good idea to give yourself LOTS of space.

    I have been anxious about this year too. There are so many things just happening at certain times - my daughter’s graduation, college prep for two kids, a big trip to Japan, etc. What I’ve been having to face is how can I fit in things like a book release and be a part of the groups I’ve been a part of for writing events, too. What can I handle without feeling raw, broken, and burnt out. So you’ve kicked me in the rear to start drafting a more realistic time for my book release and a what I can handle in my writing groups. This is great timing for me to really side down and plan the next 6-7 months. Thank you!

    I save scratch paper for this sort of thing. Backs of junk mail, things I'll shred later, bad print-outs. Punch holes, store them in binders and in drawers so that paper is always available. No sense wasting money/new paper for dafts of initial goals, sketches of ideas. Using a computer to quickly typing and editing is also helpful, including printing projects and their strategies and tasks, especially things that have to be sequential. This helps because I'm a highly visual learner. Helps me break things down and figure out where actions go in a planning system.

    Flylady shared the idea of using page protectors and handwritten routines tucked into them and dry erase markers to check off what has been accomplished. Easy to wipe off each day (or week, etc.) , only one piece of paper 'sacrificed' if you make a major change to the list. Eventually, you can create pretty pages that are truly customized to you, to the season of year or the season of life that you are in.

It seems like a New Years resolution is really a goal. I had already set up the January tracker section with six things I want to track and improve upon. I need to rewatch your goal planning system because it seems like something I can do.

Plus, things change and in a few months, you might need to concentrate on something else.

    I took your advice and did these steps. The most helpful part for me was doing the exercise where I rated my satisfaction of the 8 parts of the wheel of life. And it made it very clear what I need to focus on next year. I was able to narrow down my goals into 3 main focus and came up with actionable steps to accomplish them. This is much more doable than tracking the 10 goals I had before.
    Thanks for sharing your process!

    My biggest tip for planning is to plan for the timeline you are comfortable with. If you can't get yourself to focus and write down goals for the whole year; try narrowing the focus to what you can do or want to do in a quarter (3 months) or even the next 4 weeks.
    I've found that I overwhelm myself with all the things I'd like to do in the next year and I then can't get myself to take action.
    I am currently reviewing my progress this year and have decided to reset my goals so I am only planning for the next month. After the month I will review my progress and decide how long I want to plan for next.
    Once you pick a timeline and what you want to accomplish in that time you then need to break each want or goal into tasks you can do to reach that goal. Each goal might consist of some actions you do daily, combined with other actions that are once off, and more that are done weekly, fortnightly, etc.
    So break the goal into tasks/actions and decide how often to repeat them.
    The step many people miss is to schedule the time out of their life to actually work on their goals/do the actions or tasks.
    Even if you can only set aside 15 minutes every day to do something towards your big goal, consistent action wins.

I’m going to do some research and testing to fine tune further. I think that’s been part of the hold up on finalizing them.
    They might get added by February. But I’m ok with that! 😂

    Something I try to keep in mind when I goal set is that the goals are an ideal, they are what we would like to get out of the coming year but sometimes things happen. They can be big world wide things (as we all learned in 2020) but sometimes it’s something small. If you suffer from depression holding yourself to the standard you would if you were in a mentally stable isn’t productive or good for yourself. We should all strive for our goals but not meeting a goal doesn’t mean failure because whether you meet a goal or not you’ve grown from who you were before. Remember kindness towards yourself is just as important as being ambitious and productive.
    I hope everyone has a wonderful 2023 I’m rooting for all of you!

    I’m so happy I found this channel 🥲🖤 my current planning method was getting super stale, and my monthly spreads are always bloated with goals that I never complete 🥲🥲🥲
    so writing them down ahead of time and then breaking then down (and maybe again) is so useful and actionable for my adhd brain 😂

  • @dotcassilles1488
    @dotcassilles1488 2 місяці тому

    With the sheet that has columns for goals you want to reach "someday", 1 year, quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily I have a question. Do the rows represent one goal all the way across? So you start with the goal you want to reach for example "declutter my house" as the one year goal and then in each column from left to right you breakdown the goal into how much of that goal you want to do in the next quarter, month, weekly actions and daily actions? The intention being that you are planning backwards from the big goal down to the tiniest action that takes you 5 to 15 minutes daily.
    OR were you listing separate goals under each column heading? For example 3 big goals you want to work on/improve were health, relationships and organisation, quarter goals were to meal plan the next 90 days and create ingredient and shopping lists for each week of meals.
    I guess what I'm asking is did you relate your big yearly or quarterly goals to the weekly or daily goals or were they just random and overwhelming because of the number of goals?
    I'm not sure if you did it deliberately but each time you showed your sheets and pointed out sections it was blurry so I couldn't read the words or even column titles which I assumed were; someday, 1 year, quarterly, etc.

    I’m trying quarterly goals this year. Most of my “goals” seem to be more of a huge “To Do” list from all the procrastination I’ve done since “The Vid” entered our lives. All of the other long-term goals are set up as individual habit trackers that I will evaluate/change monthly.

    Thank you, from the bottom of my anxious heart, soul and mind, for this video! It popped up on my home page and I just wanted to let you know how helpful all of your tips have been! Well- I’ve just finished watching the vid but I wrote down like, 2 pages of notes hahah, so after I finish my weekly spreads for December and my reflexions on 2022, I’m definitely using this method to set my goals for the upcoming year. I seriously cannot thank you enough! And on another note, I was wondering if you’d mind if I translated my notes into Spanish to share them on my socials (with the proper credit of course!!!). It’s just that most of my followers don’t understand English quite as well, so please let me know! Once again, thank you, and have a great 2023! ✨
