How I Breakdown my goals in my planner

[@TheOrganizedMoney]

Hey Guys! Today's video is on How I Break Down My Goals in my planner. I want to share my process for adding my goals into my brain storming notebook, breaking down my goals into projects and breaking down the projects into tasks.

[@justRandiE]

This is exactly how I manage my workload. I have one Goal and my "tasks" are objectives. I find that for my mental clarity, calling them objectives makes steps less daunting and overwhelming. The way my mind works, I will experience burnout quickly. TFS!

[@melanieannplans2666]

I love this idea! I might have to try it out myself. You're absolutely right: "objectives" seems more achievable because it's something we want/need, where as "tasks" can make things overwhelming and cause us to not be motivated to get them done.

This is soooo helpful! I have a separate goal book that I use I’ve been wanting to incorporate it into my planner but wasn’t sure how to. Thanks!

Alaina, I love, love, love this video. You detail your process so clearly, it makes me believe my goals are within reach if I break them down into similar projects and tasks! Thank you for this much needed tutorial!

I’m so ready for Vlogmas! I love how you break down your goals. ❤️

I always hear “just break tasks down into bite sized chunks” but this video was the first time I actually UNDERSTAND what that actually MEANS! Thank you!!

Please show us how you work backwards from your deadlines

[@ajandmilasmama8785]

This system makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing! I’d love to see how else you use your brain dump book and why you chose to have it as a separate book instead of a section in your planner. I look forward to your videos, always such helpful content in learning organizing/budgeting/planning systems. Great work!

This video was very helpful . I'm going to try this brain dump system

[@melanieannplans2666]

As a writer, it is imperative that I break my goals down into actionable steps. For example, in September of this year I'd self-published my first fiction novella. I initially came up with the idea in December of 2019, so there were several phases involved in the release of my book. I had to come up with the story idea; then break that idea down into scenes and combine those scenes into chapters; then re-read the multiple drafts I'd written, and edit the drafts; send it to beta readers and ARC readers; learn how to submit a manuscript to Kindle's publishing program...etc., etc. Oh! And the marketing/promoting. That was an entire goal in and of itself! Thank you for breaking down the Goals/Projects/Tasks element of the process - that was super helpful for me!

Hi, Melanie! I had read your comment all the way through when I looked up and saw it was you! 😂 Now I know I have to watch this!

[@melanieannplans2666]

@@HeatherDeweyPettet Hey there Heather! Fancy meeting you here! Hehe. And yes, Alaina's videos are ALWAYS worth the watch time. :) I can't even tell you how much her planning videos have helped me get my life together this past year since discovering her channel!

[@HeatherDeweyPettet]

@@melanieannplans2666 I have recently discovered her. I also watch Sarra Cannon's channels. One is Heart Breathings, which is planner-specific, but she also talks a bit about her writing. Mostly she puts planner reviews, Plan-with-Me's, and flip-throughs on Heart Breathings.

I keep coming back to your videos (and subscribed) because your brain works the same way as mine and it makes a world of difference. Your content is MUCH appreciated.

[@h.s.s.3881]

This was very helpful. I have different notebooks too, but couldn't figure out how to incorporate everything into one planner. Thank you!

[@PIC0630]

Wow this is probably the best video breakdown I’ve ever seen on how to organize and manage tasks and goals. I am very excited to implement this like NOW lol. Thanks so much for the inspiration!!

[@lenamahayni6216]

Excellent video thank u sooo mush The best video I’ve ever seen Bcz it is clear , precise , step by step informations

[@kimholt317]

This was SO helpful! I hear so much about goals and projects but I've never been clear about how to apply them to all the things I need to manage in my life. This video gave me lots of useful ideas. Seeing the way you sort your thoughts and break them down has made a huge difference to me. I'm so much calmer even my hubby has noticed!

[@jasmynsreality]
