Ha. Ok. Coming up soon. Have a couple of other videos first.

Definitely a fan of 90 - 120 day goal setting. A year is too long a framework. Life happens in 3 to 4 month "chunks" (for example, from Labour Day to the end of the calendar year, which is something even people who aren't parents with kids in school generally relate to; the energy of Q1; the annual rhythm of holidays or business quarters, including tax time). I used the Full Focus Planner from Michael Hyatt & Co for a number of years but more recently switched to a 90 Day System from Heart Breathings, here on KZread. I found I needed something more structured than a Bullet Journal and more flexible and customizable than the FFP.

Hey -> I like how you frame the that. For me the quarterly cycle is the best wagon to jump on when you're trying to make a change.

I've had a bullet journal since the beginning of the year, and I use it in a very similar way to define and achieve my goals. putting your goals on paper really helps (sorry for my English, I'm French, and I like your videos!)

Marcus, thanks for sharing your goal setting video. I think we are sometimes bound by our own fear that stops us setting lofty goals. Taking the first step forward is always the key to starting something new the details can always be developed through following a solid process and adopting new habits which help to reduce human procrastination and distraction events.

Hey Irish David Guetta, great video!

Great video! Would love a video on the financial independence - I’m in the same boat and it’s very overwhelming to learn enough to make confident decisions

Great video Marcus thanks for sharing this. Just ordered the Finisher's Secret journal. I have tried and tried and tried many other ways to do this in the digital world but I'm just too old school I guess, pen and paper with a journal that explains the how and why and keeps it simple. Thanks again!

Please make the finance video! The EDC hobby has really helped me start my personal self management habits.

Another great vid marcus, thanks for sharing. Im interested that you concentrate on one goal in a 90 day period, focus makes total sense to me. However we often need to move multiple things forward concurrently. What is your approach to moving forward career/family/finances objectives etc while having a focus on that single area?

I hear comments help with the algorithm also so here is a comment: my husband should be watching this - so I am going to do another thing that helps with the algorithm: share this with him. Good video as usual. Nice the way that journal pulls it together for a person. I think my husband will benefit from this and plan to share this video with him. If I had one example that sponsored videos can be great - this is it. anyway thanks for the hard work....those of us motivated to finding you and your content when we are in need of a motivational boost ourselves, then I think its only fair we do our part to help with the algorithm.... Thanks for the hard work and good aesthetics G

Loving the clips of Limerick sneaking into your videos! Really useful video Marcus, thanks. I started bullet journaling recently and it’s helped me feel like I’m getting on top of what I need to get done. One question I’ve been struggling with is whether to keep work and personal journals separate. Wondering what your thoughts are on that?

@MarcusCreates

2 ай бұрын

Loving folks are recognizing the Limerick BRoll. Are you from there? On the notebooks - I keep them separate but I’m a bit of a control freak. I have a Tomoe River notebook with me for work at all times and keep my personal goal tracking, morning pages, KZread stuff all separate.

Ya, Limerick born and bred. Spent a bit of time living in New Zealand but back in Limerick now for about 12 years. I can see the benefit of two notebooks but I have a concern about things falling between two stools. I’ve been keeping a separate notebook for project and meeting notes but keeping all my tasks and schedule in my personal notebook.

Do you have it on Amazon in Canada website on book? Does the website have the the PDF files instead of the book?

I usually set a list of goals that IMMEDIATELY goes off the rails, then I wing it 😅

This was so great and well explained! I want to get that journal. Quick question though… how do you manage 160g of protein on less than 2000 cals?? I try my best and even include a scoop of whey but man I’m happy if I break 120!

@MarcusCreates

2 ай бұрын

You have to be pretty focussed and I like variety so it’s different every day. An example might be at 10am after I work out, I have 2 scoops of protein with water (50g | 280cal). I eat 2 tins of tuna for lunch with leafy greens (50g |250cal) and then 8 oz chicken breast or turkey (60g | 400cal) for dinner with veg and a carb.

I just parted doing something similar with a standard notebook. Just ordered this journal and excited to have a bit more structure. Thanks!

Wow, I didn't notice that at all!

Tips to maximize ROI would be beyond amazing!

Ali just released a video in which he cited a source that says SMART goals are actually less helpful than general goals when it comes to long-term success. The issue with SMART goals being that if one falls off track, it may lead to giving up due to the perception of failure to meet targets on schedule. In this way, I think you somewhat contradicted yourself within the first several minutes of the video - if a system is greater than motivation and goals, then why start by setting SMART goals? Why not start with a general goal to build the system?
