The amount of times I've come back to this video to go through the process! It is so helpful. This needs to be a planner in itself.
There’s one thing that really inspired me in this video. You use the word “desire” instead of goals, dreams, bla bla. I’ve watched so much similar videos but nobody used the word “desire”. I found it artificial and not so easy to come up goals and dreams, but when I think of desire, they come out so easily. Also, much more true to me.

I totally relate! Isn’t it so crazy how the smallest shift can open your mind so much more? That’s very intuitive of you!
What I really want is to be pain free!
PROACTIVE VS. REACTIVE TASKS! A (hopefully better) explanation: Proactive tasks are things that you need to do that directly contribute to making your goals happen. Reactive tasks are things that usually hold you back in your individual situation. They tend to sound like excuses. Reactive tasks could be inspired by negative thoughts such as: “I don’t have enough help with my kid to focus on my dreams.” Or “People come into my office and bother me too much, preventing me from real focus.” Or “I always get thrown off when something changes in my schedule and I don’t know what to do next.” When you have your “reasons” why things don’t get done, coming up with the tasks that help you solve for those reactive moments will help your plans get executed a little more effectively. Is this helpful? Should we do a video of this all on its own? Would love your thoughts!

I look at the Brain Dump as the 1,000 steps in my journey. The planning with the Eisenhower matrix helps me choose which step to make first. It might be "Sort through the 50 boxes in the garage." The matrix will say, "Schedule 30 minutes each day to sort through 3 boxes in the garage." I have 3 "Brain Dumps" to make for 3 parts of my life, so now it will be easier to take each step each day. As someone once said, "An hour of work on a mess is an hour of work on a mess." Thank you for this video (and the one that came before). It will help me set my "agenda" for planning for each week. Now I just have to do it.
Creating this MAP overwhelmed me but I kept pushing because this is something important to me and I really want to achieve my goals instead of just saying I should do them💪 Thank you so much for this fresh perspective on goal setting ❤

Hi! No problem I wish I explained it a little better for you. Basically the reactive column is to help you think of the things that tend to hold you back in your individual situation that usually sound like excuses. Like: “I don’t have enough help with my kid.” Or “People come into my office and bother me too much for me to focus.” Or “I always get thrown off when something changes in my schedule and I don’t know what to do next.” Or something like that. When you have your “reasons” why things don’t get done, coming up with the tasks that help you solve for those reactive moments will help your plans get executed a little more effectively. Is that more helpful?

Not sure if this helps. Reactive is your response to a situation. You didn't initiate the situation, which makes it a reactive action. You may feel like you have no control. A proactive action is something you initiated. You have total control.

Thank you so much for this video. I think I have been totally reactive with several things. This definition is from google, not sure if this is what you meant, but it definitely helped me to understand better: “The definition of reactive and proactive is as follows: Reactive : Reacting to the past rather than anticipating the future. Proactive: Acting before a situation becomes a source of confrontation or crisis.”

been searching it and searching it but nobody uses them both the way she does. I found this video by scrolling my history and finding it in Aug 2023 on May 5,2024 😅😂😢😂
I hate the Eisenhower matrix. I have a really hard time determining which quadrant to put things. I don't think I can differentiate between urgent and important very well. My inclination is that everything should be in quadrant 1, but I know that some things have to go in the other quadrants, so I will put some things in the other quadrants, even though my true self would put them in quadrant 1 (maybe quadrant 2). I never feel like I do this exercise "correctly" (read: perfectly) which makes me feel like a failure before I even start. However, I did take away from the video the importance of prioritization. I'm going to try a day-by-day approach. Each morning I'll choose one thing I need to get done (apart from the daily things that always need to be done, like feed the children). I've already chosen my priority thing for today. Wish me luck!
I really need this! I have add and depression issues. I got sober about 4 years ago and while I have made great improvements. I still don’t plan anything out really. I really want to live my life with intention and purpose. I think watching your videos will help me reach my goals. I’m purchasing a planner today so that maybe I can become a happier person.
So, proactive is something that you're starting new? And reactive is something that you have to change? I needed this video! So so so helpful, thank you!!!

things I found helpful and could help improve this method through out the video: 1: at desires I recommend putting a time limit before you write them down parts like month ,weeks and years example I want organize my room and make it stay that way I give my self a week at first to see how its going if it went good ill go 1 month then ill bump its to 2 months if it goes wrong ill bump back down etc. 2: again at desires I recommend not crossing them out put setting them for after you complete the goal 3: at brains dump is a helpful way for people who don't know how to express there emotions or dump their brain like me I recommend to take time and really think about what you can do if its still hard I recommend dividing the 3 goals and doing it separately try having at least 3 pro and 3 re for every goal 4: I found the matrix the most helpful of the steps it lets you continue to organize your thoughts and find different way to pic your brain if you need help like I did just reply to my comment and ill help with a solution to organizing and motivational
Damn!!! This beautiful lady is sharing awesome things for free. Hurrrah!!!! Amy you got another fan just love whatever you are doing.
I needed this a lot! I'm a college student living paycheck-to-paycheck and while my deadline of getting my goals achieved is way out (I set it for 2030 when I'm 35), I think a lot of these day-to-day goals can be put into place a lot easier! Thank you for sharing!

This is so helpful. Sometimes l get frozen because I can't do it all, and I feel like I should. I needed this permission slip to let somethings go and focus on what is most important. In my quest to do it all, I've done nothing. Thank you for this valuable tool. I believe it will help me focus.

@@lizeeveeMy daughter works at the top daycare in our area (rated 5 stars.) The workers more often than not ignore the children and stand in groups talking, (My daughter is the only one paying attention to them. One day 19 little ones tried to hug her and she almost fell over.) Kids call her ‘Mommy.’ If she wasn’t there the kids would largely be ignored by the workers. The one time workers show up is to demand the kids look like they’re doing crafts even when they’re special needs & don’t want to. They don’t care how upset they get while they set up the pictures for the website. Daycare is a revolving door of changing faces so be prepared once your kid is attached - they usually leave due to low pay and / or hating their job. No one will ever love your kid like you do. If you were a child and scraped your knee, would you rather run to your Mommy or a daycare provider?

I have to thank you so much for this. I've gotten really skeptical about a lot of organization, self improvement, planning methods over the years, but the M.A.P. format flipped a switch in me like nothing else ever has. I always felt (and still feel, really) like I've got SO much to do, so much to accomplish and its all overwhelming because I could never prioritize or focus on any one thing, so it all felt urgent and it was paralyzing to the point of not doing anything at all. You really helped me get it all down, narrow my focus to the top 3 most important things and really gun it. I've made leaps and bounds over the last year and into 2024 that I've been stalled out on for almost a decade now. Thank you so much, Amy.
Amy Landino, you are the funniest lady. I am only 1.28 mins into this video & it looks like you are not only going to be entertaining but provide value as well. I’m not a newbie to business but I am a newbie to getting all stuck in my own “business”. I love it when the Universe provides us with exactly what we need when it’s really important. I have put aside October for a full review of 2023, what still needs to get done for the year to finish on a high & mapping for 2024. I have started mapping all of this out of my head but felt a little cluttered & fuzzy. I had just finished journaling this morning & doing some Innercising on Procrastination when up popped an iPhone Photography notification. 😮 When I clicked on it 😮“distraction”😊 it didn’t land so I went looking for it & found an attractive image (your video - “distraction”) 😂 but it turned out to be a good distraction. I’m looking forward to keeping in touch some more. 🎉❤
This helped me so much.
So, I see lots of videos and tutorials on planning. But almost all of the time I am inspired, then confused. At the end, I am unsure how to implement what I "learned". This video was perfect because you walked us through actual thought processes. I don't think I ever saw a functional purpose for the Eisenhower Matrix until now! It just felt like "make work". Thanks!
