Wow!! I’m also a homeschooling mom in Texas with a child on a mission and another about to start BYU this fall!! Instant subscriber obvs I’m bingeing your videos now 😊

[@AmandasFavorites]

Oh, how awesome we have so much in common:) Welcome in!

I so love Golden Coil. The most useful layout for me is the project 4 blocks per page. Last year I set up the two pager to follow each month of the year. This is my go to for motivation and success of my goals. Since I'm using a Hobonichi Cousin this year, I'm using the blank page that comes before the daily pages for each month drawing in the blocks and lines. Can't do without it. Since my main goal this year is to lose weight because of my diabetes, I set up and purchased a fitness/meal planning/recipe Golden Coil notebook. So loving it. Thanks for sharing again. Last year, it was one of your earlier year review that led me to Golden Coil.

[@AmandasFavorites]

This is awesome to hear how much Golden Coil has helped you in your goal planning! And I love the new notebook you built this year:) Thank you for sharing! You are on track!

I did not buy Powersheets this year. I will be 78 at my next birthday so longterm planning is scary. I a,ready went through a partial bathroom reno this year due to a leak. I am using the Passionate Penny Pincher planner and also Daily Grind daily pages sometimes. I know I will think about a beach trip this year. Thats it

[@AmandasFavorites]

Thank you for sharing your plans for 2024. I think it sounds perfect! Do what works for you in the season you are in. And congrats on the the bathroom remodel...I know that is not fun when it's forced:( But hopefully you can enjoy it now. And if I could- I would take a beach trip every year! Have a good week:)

[@michelegratton1884]

I love this idea! I have an EC project notebook that I've had for two years and I think I could create something similar in it.

[@AmandasFavorites]

That would be perfect to use for this! Any notebook can be made into something like this for sure! I am glad this resonated with you too:) Have fun with the set up!

[@kathykirk2793]

Amanda, thank you for sharing this, I have an old Archer & Olive B5 dot grid notebook that I love & I have tried several things (faith journaling, common place book, journal) in and it's too big, but this is a great way to use it & see if I like it for this. I LOVE the Golden Coil planners and paper, but I am really trying to "use what I have before I buy". I LOVE the idea of being able to look back over several years in one spot. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@AmandasFavorites]

Oh, good! That sounds perfect for this! and yes...I am I all for using what you have and any notebook can be used like this:) Have fun with it!

[@Dreblueskies]

I will do this as well, I will use up notebooks that are just sitting on my shelves.

[@Jollygood-br5pd]

I think it's such a good idea. I have tried something similar in the past but will give it another go now thanks to your video. Thanks for sharing. Great video as always.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I am glad it resonated with you too! Enjoy the process:)

[@kimfields1000]

Thank you for sharing your process of developing a multi-year goal notebook. So cool!

[@AmandasFavorites]

You are so welcome:)

[@vickiec181]

This had great information. I see how I can use this and really like that it can be put together "my way."

[@AmandasFavorites]

Oh, good! I am happy it resonated with you Vickie;)

[@hockeymomWA]

Awesome video!!! I'm always impressed with your organization.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I am glad you enjoyed it;) Trust me...I am not that organized;)

[@donnap1208]

I will use some of the pages in the back of my Simplified weekly planner for goal planning. I like how you have the circle with the year and the goals coming out of it. I'm gonna do monthly or quarterly goals. I understand more how to build a Golden Coil now. I liked seeing the cream paper vs the white Erin Condren paper. I really like the white. I do think it is a good idea to have a multi year goal planner for the reasons you mention.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Hey Donna:) I think the pages at the end of planners are perfect for goal planning:) And I love making the mind map of the year...it's just a very easy free form way to get out ideas into categories and let it all flow out;) Have a great week!

[@Dreblueskies]

Love the yearly tracker, I will be trying this out! TX weather is the craziest I have experienced, the land of extremes and zero predictability except very hot summers 😂

[@AmandasFavorites]

You have nailed down the Texas weather to a T! Thanks for watching:) I am glad the tracker resonates with you:)

[@wendykluge5286]

Excellent!! Thank you! Inspired to try this! Yay!😊🎉

[@AmandasFavorites]

Thanks Wendy:) I could see you making this work too!

[@susannek4546]

loved this! I have thought for a long time I was not big into goal planning but came to realize I actually am and I just haven't always written it down. My categories are Faith, Family, For Me, and For the Home. (sub-categories that go under some of these include : finance, food, and fitness). I hope you are successful with your 10-20 year plan with that notebook. It sounds like a good idea!

[@susannek4546]

@@Composedandcontent yep, I am not into that type of terminology either. My goals are fun ones like "new recipes twice a month", use our china more often, get outside with my family more, I don't consider those to be "Crushing it " or "Killing it" goals either.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I don't think any of my goals have ever been of the "crushing it variety:) Whatever you need to call them I think is good!

[@AmandasFavorites]

I love those simple categories! Thank you for sharing with us:)

[@karenlebeter4196]

I used a daily compact Franklin planner which worked for paid jobs and volunteer work - very functional only. Have started using their monthly pages (on 2 pages, notebook size). I am making different types of pages to see what works now. I'm 72 with heart problems, moved in with my younger son, age 30, and trying to downsize a lot! Now mainly working on genealogy and getting my son better prepared for success. I am doing housework for exercise. Here it rains almost everyday & no streetlights. I miss gardening (from TX).

[@karenlebeter4196]

I have to track hrs slept, what I ate & amt of protein, BP, heart rate during awake & sleep, exercise, daily steps, health problems (falls, dizzy spells, etc), etc.

[@AmandasFavorites]

Hi Karen:) It sounds like you have had some major life changes along with heath challenges! Good for you for tracking everything:) And it sounds like you and your son can both be a help to each other. What a blessing:)

[@ttmoore8750]

I have the same problem finding the perfect planner during my slow January. Can I get the link to the printouts in the video? I've misplaced my PDF.

[@AmandasFavorites]

I can't share the links...She has stopped her newsletter as far as I know and I don't have permission to share the PDF. I am sorry! I would google "year long habit tracker" and you will find many free to choose from:) Thank you for watching!

[@Cheers4672]

Are you sure you won't get bored? How will you resist all of the pretty planners, especially Erin Condren?

[@AmandasFavorites]

I can't guarantee anything! LOL:) But this is just my goals, & projects and I will still be using daily & Weekly planners:) But only time will tell:)

[@lynnclemons5864]

I keep wanting to get another GC,but with water ruining my only one and the price,and for some reason I can't get it to add dates for the planner I struggle with going for it.Maybe I will look at them again!!😊

[@AmandasFavorites]

If you are having trouble with anything on the GC site like adding dates I would email them:) I understand the decision struggle!

[@lynnclemons5864]

@@AmandasFavorites oh I definitely have contacted them.After fighting with it last night it finally allowed the dates!!I am thinking of trying the designer covers this time to hopefully have a better experience as far as the cover goes!Even though my first experience wasn't the best I am definitely willing to try them again!!They are expensive,but so many options which I personally appreciate!!!

[@jennifercumpian188]

How is this approach working for you?

[@AmandasFavorites]

I would say 90% good! I am going to keep up with it next year...will give an update in my next Quarterly Stack video and at year end;)

[@chfr1967]

I love this Idea. I am going to look into doing something like this. I love disc bound notebooks. So I may pull all the goal pages out and put them together in one notebook rather than having them in multiple years archives. Thank you so much, Amanda. Christina 🦝

[@AmandasFavorites]

Oh, perfect! I love how everyone can take a notebook or system (like disc or ring bound) that they already own and make a goal notebook that is specific to what they need;)

[@Dreblueskies]

@@AmandasFavoritesHave you tried using discs or rings?
