    Want to be productive? You need to Life Plan. (Seriously.)

    Want to be productive? You need to Life Plan. (Seriously.)

    As you know, the Full Focus Planner is built on the structure of the Daily Big 3, Weekly Big 3, Quarterly Goals, and Annual Goals. You take big ideas and distill them down into daily actions. But, if you just stop at annual goals, then you're missing a larger piece of the puzzle. How do you even know which goals you should be setting each year if you don't have a larger vision for what you want your life to look like?

    In this episode, Ken is joined by Full Focus's Chief Content Officer, Joel Miller. Joel talks about the importance of having a life plan as it applies to setting the goals you need to get where you want to go. Finding your overall "Why" is a huge element in finding the motivation you need to succeed at your tasks daily.

    We're at the end of January and, for some of your goals, you might be hitting the messy middle. This is a great opportunity to reconnect with your "why". Why are you pursuing this difficult goal in the first place? Who are you trying to become?

    That's where the idea of a Life Plan comes into play. In today's episode, Marissa is joined by Full Focus Founder, Michael Hyatt. They share the five hidden costs of not having a life plan. A life plan provide you with a GPS so that you can become the person that you want to be in the next decade or more. And once you know who you want to be, then you can make sure you're setting goals that point you in the direction you need to go.
