omg who doesn't want a good finance video??

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 YouTube. I found I needed something more structured than a Bullet Journal and more flexible and customizable than the FFP.

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!)

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

[ToolwatchBoutique]

Man, your videos are just so motivating and honest. Thank you so much Marcus!

[richardsousa]

Please make the finance video! The EDC hobby has really helped me start my personal self management habits. I have pocket journals for personal mental health, I have a leather pocket calendar for work stuff, and I’ve even optimized my iPhone for minimalism and productivity. I feel so much more clean and prepared

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.

clicked on this straight away as its something that I really want to work on for myself, great video thank you

[infinitelooping]

Yes, please, you owe us now a video about personal finance.

[CreativeThinking]

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. 👍

Marcus, just re-watched this excellent video and ordered my Finisher's Journal. You are inspiring. I started doing morning pages this past week, and it changed my whole outlook on the day. Thank you. (And I'll add my voice to the chorus requesting the financial video.)

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

Jokes on you, I haven't dropped my New Year's Resolutions... Because I didn't make one ._.

[Yconboy]

Love this one! Can you share a pic of your office? Inside and out? I need to get mine sorted and need some inspiration 😊

[patches]

Hi Marcus, I really enjoy your videos. Would appreciate seeing a video on ways you manage financial aspects of your life as well as what you are eating (and not eating!) to achieve your health goals. Thanks!

[danielbrown]

Hi Marcus- I stumbled upon your channel after getting into journaling more seriously this year (and am also a fountain pen aficionado). I've been enjoying your content, and I just realized today we work for the same company! =)
I thought you looked familiar.... lol. Thanks for all the great videos.

[BlazeOGlory]

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

[jharveyphoto]

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!

[tcszswb]

This was a great video Marcus, my first time viewing one of your vides will definitely subscribe. Thank you.

[ogriofae]

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?
