Introducing the Full Focus Wellness Planner
The Full Focus Wellness Planner is designed as an enhanced tool for individuals seeking to prioritize their self-care and overall well-being. Unlike its predecessors, this planner incorporates elements such as tracking sleep, hydration, nutrition, movement, and even daily gratitude alongside traditional goal-setting features like weekly and daily big three tasks. Users have reported positive feedback, praising its ability to facilitate a more holistic approach to wellness. With added tools like a self-care planner and vision sketch, it serves as a comprehensive resource for managing both personal and professional aspirations.
Understanding SMARTER Goals
The SMARTER goal-setting framework helps individuals create effective and meaningful objectives by emphasizing key criteria: specific, measurable, actionable, risky, time-bound, exciting, and relevant. Many struggle with ensuring their goals are sufficiently 'risky' and 'relevant,' often opting for low-risk projects instead of challenging ambitions. Importance is placed on regularly reviewing and adapting goals to keep them aligned with changing circumstances and personal growth. Attaining a deeper understanding of these criteria can greatly enhance goal clarity and execution.
The Importance of Effort in Goal Achievement
Achieving meaningful goals requires a consistent level of real effort and examination of one’s routine. Goals should provoke feelings of uncertainty and require commitment, ensuring they cannot be accomplished without intentional action. For instance, collaborating on a creative project may necessitate coordinating schedules to ensure focus and productivity. Ultimately, introducing frequency and effort to the goal-setting process can drive progress and help maintain accountability.
A goal that is poorly structured can not only keep you from achieving your goal, but it can also stop you from getting out of the starting gates. Today, Verbs and Courtney talk you through the first "R" in the SMARTER Goals Framework: Risky. How can we leverage risk to maximize our results?
