003 - Restart your Routine - My Goal Setting Process

In this episode, we are going to chat about my approach to restart your routine and map out your goals. I am going to walk you through how to start out with your BIG goals and then break it down into monthly and daily. This way when you go to plan out your day, you know exactly what you need to focus on and why!

My “restart your routine” or “Be, Feel, Do, Have” approach is broken down into 5 steps. Think of it as baking a cake. I always used food references. Ha. You want to start the dream of making that amazing dessert or hosting that fun brunch and then get into the details of the how and why. And because sometimes cooking isn’t glamorous, you want to make sure you have that why defined so when your kitchen is a disaster you remember how fun it is to celebrate a birthday with your friends. Get it? 

1) The first step in the process is a big brain dump as I call it. Take 5 minutes and think about one word that will represent you this year. Write it in big letters. Then take a few minutes to just doodle and think about your dreams. Just write down whatever comes to you. Be creative. 

2) The 2nd step is to take those big picture thoughts and put them into actionable items.

3) The 3rd step is the planning part. You have mapped out your big dream which should have been fun. And then really thought about how that is going to make you feel! I want you to set that list aside and now think about the next month ahead. By the time this airs it will be the end of March so I would recommend doing this for April. 

Look at April. List out 3-4 priorities based on the above activities. You don’t want to pick any more than that because then you will start get overwhelmed.

4) Take those activities and map out how long each one of them will take. And schedule it!

As a reference, you will want to go back to listen to episode 2 of Crush the Rush where I talk about Time Blocking. 

If templates and lists overwhelm you. I know all of us don’t love them, I would encourage you to at least try to set aside some time each week before the week starts and pick 3 things to focus on. And then slowly you can work your way into this process.
