I know this is wrong but I makes me feel better to see items you didn’t get done. I started this system at the beginning of this year after seeing your setup but I have yet to get everything done and it depresses me each time until I see that you do too and that it’s ok
I think one of the things to learn is that we ambitiously plan to get done way more things than we actually can get done in a given time period. The trick is to scale back to what you plausibly, logically can get done. Other goals can either be discarded (if you find you are not willing to commit serious time to them) or postponed to another quarter. In both cases, it relieves you of anxiety now.
The commitment and energy you give to all your projects - personal and family health, writing, productivity planning and expanding your community - is truly inspirational. And you sound so personable and approachable while doing it as well. Hope you have a wonderful quarter Sarra!
I feel like the scoring idea would motivate me to do better. I can tell myself all day that I will feel better if I do certain things but it doesn't get me any closer to doing it. Making it feel more like a game might actually work for me. You always have great ideas.
My husband and I do marriage prep classes sometimes I won't go into everything, but there's one quiz the couples have to take that shows strengths and "growth areas," so instead of failure or weaknesses, you can say you have growth opportunities. For your reward system, maybe set up rewards for both 9 and 10. Mini rewards for having 2 weeks of 9 average or something. I know for me I need rewards even at a good level. I'm doing a smaller version of Kanban. My husband and I are moving in the new year (most likely at the end of June) and we were getting frustrated with "We know we want to move, we know where we want to move, but how do we actually move?" So we sat down and set up next steps like "how much do we need to move? Moving truck, deposits, down payments, etc" It's not full-on it's just one goal and it's going on past the quarter.
I purchased the HB90 planner, and I'm working through trying to set my goals and trying to get them as clear as possible with tasks necessary to move toward the desired outcomes. I love this!
I love your decorated office and a great idea to cut up postit notes to fit board better. I love both your channels even though I am not a writer but trying to write blog post daily to build my community, thank you
I am trying to be kinder to myself as well when it comes to reaching goals. I have the tendency to get discouraged whenever I don't meet them. But thankfully, I learned to give myself a break and be thankful for what I accomplished 😊
Wow! You are amazing, I’m blown away. I only found you yesterday and have already watched many of your videos. You are very inspiring and informative. I love how aspirational you are while also being practical and realistic. I have learned so much already. Thank you so very much.
I absolutely love the idea of an energy score instead of a habit tracker. The difference for me is that the habit tracker makes you feel bad if you miss a day. But your score system puts the emphasis on what you have achieved. So motivating! Definitely will try it out. Thank you.
These quarterly updates have been really motivating for me and a good reminder to learn from the progress I have (or haven't) made in each quarter. Thanks!!
I'm excited to see more of your time tracking process! I look forward to seeing how you've changed your HB90 planner! So exciting! Also, can we just talk about how on point your hair always is in your videos? *chef's kiss*
I love everything about this. My husband and I are gamers too and I've been struggling to juggle work, writing, and parenting. I've barely spent time gaming with my husband. I love the idea of giving myself kudos for spending that quality gaming time with my husband. Can't wait to see the newsletter on the December HB90.
@@HeartBreathings In therapy, we've been talking about how I need to see my goals, and I really think that this will help me in a lot of areas. So excited!
Love how you are using the 2nd bulletin board! Great job reaching your goals and productivity in q3! Your momentum is contagious! Thank you for sharing your progress! 💕
I tried doing a Kanban board last quarter and discovered I'm terrible at recognizing, prioritizing, and organizing my action steps toward my goals. Sticking with monthly/weekly/daily planning style until I have another chance to test this style out.
Hi Sarra! My current goals include setting up a series Bible. I listened to your youtubes on writing a series. You mentioned using Wiki there and again in this video. Would you consider doing a youtube on that? Thank you for the excellent content!
This is lovely! Could you go more into detail about how you sort your tasks? Maybe how you decide what gets on each post it note? I've watched older videos but what a "task" is is still kind of nebulous. Is it perhaps what you can complete in an hour?
This video was so cool Sarra 🤘 Thanks for going over your Kanban board in more detail here, I have more of an understanding of how this system works now. (Tamara) P.S. Loved the background music.
Another great video Sarra! This gives me the motivation to complete my Q4 set-up. I was doing okay, but I have so much going on, and I just have not had the motivation at the start of this quarter. I am not sure why. This video gives me hope and encouragement! Thank you for the fantastic content!
Thank you for sharing Sarra! Your dedication and organisation skills are inspiring! My question is, where did you get the board? Did you make it yourself?
I really enjoyed this review and reset video. I've downloaded the energy score spreadsheet. I have 10 things listed, but up to 24 points - incorporating your good, better and best scores (e.g. steps 2K/5K/10K so 1 point for 2K and 3 points for 10K etc.) I'll be downloading the 2021 HB90 when it's available. ❤
I love these planning videos. I have done plans for the last 2-3 quarters. And then I ignore them! So I look at goals & I have no idea what I did. Sheesh! I think I need HB90 to get myself whipped into shape. Also, I reasoned that I don't need goals this quarter b/c of Preptober & NaNo. Then I'll crash. 😏
Google Sheets has a thing... you can look it up on the Google Sheets help tab, enter "protect a range". And you can "lock" certain cells from being changed "accidently". It would be ideal for your energy score spreadsheets, to protect the formulas. A hint for people new to spreadsheets.... if you happen to write over a formula and can't figure out how to get it back. just close the spreadsheet WITHOUT saving and you get a total redo! 💜🌞🌵😷
Hi Sarra, do you know what kind of manifestor you are? 7 mins and 47 secs into this video I explain how to find out if you are curious 🙂 otherwise, LOVE your videos so helpful, inspiring and welcoming while keeping it real, thank you for showing up in such a way 🙏🙏🙏💫💛🌠
One thing that you might not have considered about your Heart Breathing subscribers... could the numbers grow seasonally? Third quarter may not be the time people are looking at starting a planning system. I can see first quarter for sure... As people are thinking of new year's resolutions and 4th quarter for the same reason... People are starting to order notebooks for the new year and thinking change and improvement. But I can see second and third quarter as "resolution fever" winding down? 💜🌞🌵😷

So glad it's helpful! Forward momentum is more important than perfection!! ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you!!

Thank you for the Energy Score template! I'm so excited to set it up and start tracking. I may even be brave enough to tackle my own kanban board.

You are the queen of planning Sarra 😊 You've given me so many ideas and inspirations for this last quarter of 2020. Thank you 🍰.
I can’t wait to try your system! Thanks for posting!
I’m so jealous - your office is wonderfully spooky!! 😍 And the spooky Hello Kitties are adorable!

I love the fresh start too. Been trying to finish but also asking myself what was my block in not finishing. Have a blessed day
Love seeing all you managed to make and all that was pushed for another day, makes me feel hope to one day be as productive as you are♡
Thanks so much for this video! Going to try using energy scores too.
Have you heard of Habitica? It’s gamified habit tracking. 🤩

Cool decorations! I love the lights!
Best (spooky) office setup ever!
I like this new video formats for your kanban board review. What software do you use to create your planners?
Gorgeous decorations!
I love the new color code system. I'm thinking of using a kanban board in my bullet journal next year.
I 💖 your office and background! Thanks Sarra! I need to update my Q4 kanban as well 😊
I like your energy score system. I might try that for my chronic illness. It sounds helpful
I'm so excited to see how you set up your notion!
Already at 35,500 subscribers. Well done! I so enjoy these videos. They motivate me to get stuff done too. =)
OMG YOUR HALLOWEEN DECOR 😍😍😍😍 "It's freakin' bats!"
Thank you for sharing Sarra! Your dedication and organisation skills are inspiring! My question is, where did you get the board? Did you make it yourself?
I like watching your videos cos you make me smile x
Would love to see a video on how you make an editorial calendar 🥰
Thanks so much. This was very helpful. I can’t wait to implement some of these ideas

The "Ideal Life" score is speaking to me! I like the Reward bonuses idea, too.
How do you break goal into small tasks?
I love these planning videos. I have done plans for the last 2-3 quarters. And then I ignore them! So I look at goals & I have no idea what I did. Sheesh!

my notebook is on my i pad is that a good way to be organized
So inspiring 👍💖

Do you add captions?
