Resolutions people set in recent decades included goals like “lose weight” and “save more money” in the Top 3 Types. People are increasingly setting goals to add “meaning” and “purpose” in life building personal capacities such as commitment and confidence.

More are setting “process” goals like “outline my plan” because in the process of writing a mission and vision, goals, and resolutions, we can identify our callings better and our capacities needed to succeed. The probability of taking action increases because we are more likely to internalize the expanded expectations and choose priorities over “passing time” or “hanging out” and share intent with an accountability partner!

The process of outlining your plan with key goals, adding how many hours weekly you need to succeed, and assessing how much time you actually spend on priorities may provide the breakthrough you need to fulfill goals that have eluded you.

This planbook can help you if you write your desired results and then invest at least 1% daily of your time daily reviewing and improving.

Read, print, or download your planbook. You can outline goals for the 7 Areas of Life on a summary sheet to use. Then, pick at least one important goal you want to resolve to achieve or to change about yourself or your circumstances. The 7 Steps will guide you through asking and answering key questions about the results, motivation, and actions needed.  If you have a big enough “why” and invest enough “T.I.M.E.” you can accomplish or change most anything, including Mastering a Goliath challenging you.

Other Planbooks by Dr. David Dyson and Life Leaders Institute

What is a “Planbook?” Life Leaders believes we need Planbooks — more than just “Workbooks” so when we learn a principle, concept, or best practice, we can plan how to use that information to improve, to serve, to pass on to others. Try these handy tools as other have for free…

More can come: Master Your Goliaths, Hierarchy of Motivating Values, Professional Plan, T.I.M.E., Purpose of Life…

If they prove valuable, you can support with a $1 or more donation per copy in service so we can develop and implement more. You can help us donate materials in places like schools and veterans homes. If you work with a foundation or caring company, you can help us influence policy and resources for teachers, students, and others in our country and beyond.
