What does a life plan give you?

  • Clarity around what is important
  • The ability to better manage priorities and balance your time
  • Better sense of what to say no to…
  • More of a sense that you are truly living

“Contrary to popular belief, great things almost never happen by accident. Great accomplishments are planned. Sadly, much of the planning we do goes into accomplishments that leave us feeling empty in the end.” -Donald Miller

How to phrase a goal:

  • SMART goals
  • Careful of negatively-focused goals, such as I want to lose weight…
  • Focus on what you will gain (as in what will the benefit be…)

Increase the likelihood of following through on goals

  • Put them somewhere where you’ll see them
  • Track your progress along the way
  • Share them with others
  • Create an ideal week that aligns with your life plan and your goals
  • See Michael Hyatt’s book on Creating Your Personal Life Plan
