Something people don’t talk about enough with goal setting is goals that make your life better now, and aren’t future focused, are very important goals. Long term visioning can be very scary depending on what’s going on in your life. Particularly for people who have an illness or care for others with illness.
I tried to do SMART goals and that's just not how my brain works. I really appreciate your distinction between a habit and a project, Laura! And how a habit can fall into the "maintenance" category. Will check out the planner! 🙂
This is one of the best, most REALISTIC goal setting videos I’ve ever seen! If Covid taught me one thing it’s that things can change literally overnight. Long term planning went out the door in March 2020 and I’ve been leery to plan long term goals (or anything really) ever since.
Omg yes! I couldn't put this into words. I've been getting the itch to set goals again lately (new year and all that jazz) but I guess I have PTSD because these past three years have been like riding a roller coaster blind folded.
Soooo helpful!!! Thank you, Laura! YES---you cannot know what 8 months from now will look like. YES---some things are projects, and some things are habits. Wonderful !!!
AND I just skimmed through your list of videos and see SO many interesting things I will have to view later, so you have a new subscriber, Laura. I'm totally looking forward to watching more and becoming better at following through on my organizational skills and productivity. Thank you again!
OMG! That notebook is SO CUTE! AND love how each section and question really gets to the heart of it and causes you to really think about it, clarify what it is you want and, hopefully, motivates you to actually get it accomplished! And who doesn't love color coding? ❣❣❣
Your system makes so much sense to me! I wish I'd found this BEFORE I paid a lot of money on a different system for 2023, lol. But I'll definitely be buying your planner for 2024! :) (And now I'm going to check out your Plan Your Days video.)
Thank you for breaking it down in such an easy way to understand. I especially like the difference between a habit and a goal in the pantry example. Normally I would’ve put maintaining the pantry as a goal.
I love this. It is clear and honestly better than most planners out there. My only issue, and wonder if others can relate, are maintenance tasks/chores/life admin stuff. Those are neither goals or habits (maybe, but like once per month type things) but they take as much time as a personal project would. I would love to see a system integrate what we all know to take most of our time outside of work and family.
@@moreevilbunny it's mainly for housekeeping but you can add lists and take away lists. You can also modify the items on the list. Maybe it would for you.
This is brilliant. At last I’ve found a system that I think will work for me. I also loved your last video on daily plan. Only thing is, I’m in Australia and thinking along with the exchange rate and postage, it may not be affordable for me. 😞 I’ll still go look though. EDIT Just saw there is a digital planner or one you can print. Sucks I don’t have a colour printer, I want the pretty colours and stickers.
@@GetOrganizedHQ this approach really makes so much sense because it lets you think big picture without committing to doing everything in the next year or a specific time period. I like the SMART goals framework, but I like your concept of focus area instead of goals, because longer-term goals are hard to fit within that framework. I think it’s best for the shorter term goals, or the ones that are very well defined, such as get a degree.

Nice. Clear. To the point. I really like your approach. Thank you for sharing.

I like that you showed your actual
Planner with how you use it to set goals.
You are so right about the 10 to 15 year vision and assigning specfic actions to an exact date. You are fabulous.
Super helpful thank you! Love the planner

This is probably the best video I've watched on goal planning. You made my day. Thanks!!
Great insights, Laura! Your videos are always a breath of fresh air, love your fun spirit! 😃

That is pure genius ❤

I use the FlyLady app and just write all kinds of check lists in it. Maybe that would work for you?
@@kempfreehold9450 I don't know flylady. I'll look into it, thx.

Andee Bee Sometimes I go to the library to print a few color pages
Great!!
Great system!
Hi, any digital version?
How can get the planning my goal pages
I like the way you stress that the planning system works for you - not you for the system.
Love this! The link to the planner doesn't work!
Check now please!
@@GetOrganizedHQ sorry been off TH-cam for a few days. Yes it works now, thanks!

I think your system is far more sensible than Power Sheets.
what are power sheets?
Very nice my lovely wife 💋 😍 ❤❤❤❤
Goal one: stop scarfing big macs
I love your concept for goals , I’m one that can’t plan for an entire year . Family things come up 😊
I would suggest an undated planner ./ workbook .
Callie of But First, Coffee uses a plain spiral notebook for her planner/goal setting. When I used a paper planner I used a blank one. I relate
