Hey there! Kathy here.
Today, I am sharing the way that I can set goals with a plan to achieve them using my goal planner. Envision having the freedom to spend quality time with loved ones, pursue your passions, or even jet off on an impromptu adventure without the weight of work constantly hanging over your head. That is possible when you plan out your goals.
“To accomplish our goals, we must distill our dreams into daily actions.”
– Michael Hyatt

You're no longer chained to your desk, working endless hours, or burning the midnight oil. Instead, you're working smarter, not harder, and reaping the rewards. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it's time to make it your reality!

Struggling To Plan & Prioritize Your Goals?
You're going to learn how to go from a tangled web of ambitions to a neatly organized, effective roadmap. First, let's dive into my goal-planning process and how I break it down for maximum productivity.
Your Roadmap for Setting Manageable and Achievable Goals
The Big Picture
- Your Annual Goals
- Stick to a Maximum of 12 Annual Goals
Why twelve? Because it works! I’ve tried more and I’ve tried less. Around 12 is the sweet spot! Enough to inspire and challenge you but not too many to overwhelm you!
These can be big or small, personal or professional, if it’s something you want to accomplish in the next year (12 months), it goes on the list! Once you’ve got your goals in front of you, it's time to do some prioritizing.
Now, number and assign a quarter of the year to each goal.
Next, Break Each Goal Down Into Detail
Think of this process as carving out your path – step by step.
So, what does this breakdown look like? It could be a set of smaller tasks that lead to accomplishing your goal, resources you'd need, or even potential barriers that you might face.
Congratulations! You’ve Got Annual Goals and Quarterly Goals
Now It’s Time For Weekly and Daily
- Each week select your BIG three (which align with the quarter)
- Each day select your BIG three (which align with the week)
Going forward, simply “Rinse and Repeat” and you’ll watch yourself transform into a Goal Achieving Machine!
