planning for the future

Показать описание

Hello everyone! In this video I wanted to talk about how to create a master plan for life, that is, the list of steps you need to take in order to set and achieve your goals and overall plan and organize your life! Although I will be talking here about how to plan your career, you can use your master plan for almost anything!

A quick note: sometimes I forget that not everyone has been following this channel for the entirety of its lifespan so they end up not interpreting things as I wanted them to.
My professional/academic/career life has actually been mostly unplanned. I came from an Arts specialization course in Highschool with the goal to pursue Fine Arts and Design. I ended up going to Law School instead (lol). In Law School, I probably wanted to pursue almost all law-related careers in cycles. I started by wanting to be a judge or criminal prosecutor, then dreamed about being a lawyer. In the end of my Law School path I had no idea where I was going and only after my Master's I felt sure I wanted to pursue Academia. Meanwhile, I was working full-time for YouTube, being financially independent way before I thought I would, and managing a side hustle that I never planned on having. In a sense, I'm the perfect case of unplanned life.

HOWEVER, my experience told me that some of these changes could only operate because I always had Plan B, C, and D on hold and I was preparing actively for change. Instead of relying on myself to keep pursuing one thing only, I told myself that I was not impervious to changing my mind, so I kept on planning for multiple paths, so I was able to take my pick in the future. In a sense, I never controlled my life, but I controlled my options so I didn't have to close too many doors. That is precisely what I am doing now - opening the door to some secondary doors, actively improving my Law career before dedicating my entire time to a Ph.D. or being a professor (while also not abandoning YouTube).

Also, I reiterate at the end of the video that a "Master Plan" should change with you and not be static. I am a firm believer that a "dream job" is what you construe it to be and not what someone else says. My dream job is to be a "learner for life" but I actually don't even know what that means in terms of career categorization. Furthermore, I believe that happiness does not reside only in your career but also on your hobbies and the activities you enjoy doing. That's why planning on how to incorporate a career or a job with those activities and your core values is important. I found out that if I wanted to become a judge, I had to stop doing YouTube for legal reasons. That was why I decided I didn't want to become a judge anymore. That's my vision of planning - creating alternative plans and pondering strengths & weaknesses and measuring your happiness levels according to those different alternatives.

Master plan:
What I valued in life
Weakness and strengths (related to career)
Dream job
I don't want to be...
I don't mind working as...
Action plan - baby steps to master plan (special requirements)
But I want to keep...
Master plan must evolve with you!

What I did is create a short and long term life plan using GSheets (you can use other apps/tools like a mindmap, I just found it the easiest). Basically I start with 5 values or principles important to me (serving the vulnerable with excellence, security for my parents, work-life balance etc, ). Then for each principle or value, I come up with 2-3 life goals. Those are ones I want achieved by 40 or 50. Then I strategize smaller achievable milestones, then list daily or monthly activities I can do to lead up to those goals. That way I have both my big ideas and dreams, and the actual ways I can do them. I don’t live strictly by this though, because sometimes my plans can change from changing dreams or just unforeseen curveballs. But it reminds me of my bigger picture when I feel lost.

This is very similar to finding and setting your values and goals with the Franklin Planner Time Management System. Franklin has a course you can take to help you do this and when used in conjunction with you planner you will be able to track and stay on track of your goals.

This is so helpful! I'm in freshman year, and to be honest I have no idea what I want to do either than being a lawyer (Planning to go to law school!!!) But I didn't know where to start. Thank you for the video.

Personally l prefer to not plan to that kind of extention since unplanned things can happen in any moment in life and the disappointment if you can't reach your goals as planned can eat you alive. I prefer little steps at time. Just offering a different point of view. Bye
