I wish this content was taught to high school students. I know it seems like common sense but so many teenagers don't have this guidance. This content is gold.

[Skythe_dragon]

Holy cow. This blew my mind. This is exactly what I needed.

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!

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 ❤

[nicolefino]

I've always loved making lists, but struggled to put everything I've noted into action. This video has helped so much!

[sarastilleke]

This is a wonderful video! I often find myself with a disconnect between my dreams, and what to actually DO on a daily basis. I like the idea of brain dumping all the tiny actions that will get me to my goal. It makes them much less intimidating 😊

[thomasanders]

I noticed you used two cameras at once, and your content is starting to feel like a mini-lecture. It's the next level.:)

[mastandstars]

Why was this SO helpful?
I’ve heard this before. Amy makes it click. Thank you!

[ivbwatchwithme]

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!

[dangermouseg]

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.

[KS-wrvv]

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.

[TiffLockheart]

That Real Housewives clip is everything 😆 Thank you so much for all of your fabulous advice…sitting down with my Good Morning, Good Life planner as we speak 💜

[simplefaithanddaisies]

as a mom, homeschooler, entrepreneur, and bible study teacher, I have a lot on my plate and this was fantastic for me as a planner! Thank you so very much!

[darlacoles]

Great video, Amy! Your editing, delivery, and the content is right on!

[kristid]

Love this! Perfect timing. So needed this!

[krembrykentucky]

I have been loving your videos lately! As a working mom, it’s so refreshing to hear someone who is also balancing that life. Best of luck getting Bianca into full-time care!

[rhe]

I love that this is raw and real! It’s not just writing down 300 affirmations or desires of what you want to do or need. Thank you 🎉

[uniquelyshellz]

Thank you, Amy, these were awesome. I needed this and need to discipline myself to get my life back on track.😊

[sassywitslive]

And for the umpteenth time, just what I need right when I need it 💖 Thank you, Amy🌻
