Achieve Your Goals! Goal-Setting Framework with AI, Canva, Notion, Pinterest and ChatGPT

1. Intro: Design your actionable goal setting framework with AI and Kalba. You will also use notion Pinterest and Chad GPT. Hello, I'm Kasail and here is something I've learned the hard way. Big exciting changes don't just happen because you want them to. They happen when you are ready to put in the quiet glamorous work. Last year, I decided to stop letting distractions pull me in every direction and started designing my mom's with intention. And to do that, I created my own goal setting framework, not rigid plans, but a system that gave me clarity about what to focus on and confidence that I was moving forward in the right direction. The biggest benefit. I wasn't scrambling to do everything at once or stressing over what I should be doing right now because I knew what to do. Instead, I had this sense of calm and control, knowing that I was building something meaningful and doing it in this sustainable way step by step. That's what this course is about. It's not a hype session or the productivity formula from the productivity guru, which I'm not. It will be very, very personal. It's going to be mostly about you. We will be using a few different tools like Cava Pinterest, AI that might surprise you a notion to turn your hopes for this year into something tangible, a plan that feels like you. We will start with what inspires you, build a roadmap that works in real life. And use tech to make it easier. This course is for dreamers who are ready to get practical and do the action. The ones who put their goals off for years are ums, but aren't willing to give up on them. If that's you, let's design your upcoming mums together. I will show you what has worked for me and more importantly, how to make it work for you. So join me, and your future self will thank you for that. 2. Class Project: Plus project. Okay, so listen. I know the notes and insights you will gather throughout the course will be deeply, deeply personal. They're yours, and they are meant to guide you in building a future that feels right for you. So I won't be asking you to share them all. No way. I won't do that. But if you're up for it, I'd love for you to shed just one thing, one little thing, one thought. So choose one element of the framework you will create during this course. Maybe it's the goal you've clarified and intention you've set or even a small but meaningful insight that came up for you during the course. And like I said before, it doesn't have to be a full story, one thought. Maybe it's something like I realize I need to set aside weekends for my creative project because they re charge me more than I thought. Maybe that's something like my focus for next month is to build stronger boundaries at work so I can spend more time with my family. Also, you don't have to overthink it. Choose one thing, one thing that you feel comfortable sharing with me and sharing with our community here and go to class product section and share this one thing right away, right when you feel you're ready. It can be as short as one sentence, two sentences. And it can also be a long essay. It's completely up to you. I don't want to limit you and I don't want to overwhelm you. So choose the length you prefer and post it. Right. And I was thinking about many different class project homeworks for this class. But I chose this one because I feel it's most personal, it's most interesting to come up with. And because I'm so excited to see what this process has sparked for you. And when looking at other people's projects, remember your journey doesn't have to look like anybody else's. This is all about you. So let's look at all the project with curiosity, with an open mind, but never compare your project to any other one because there is no way to compare them. Keep that in mind. 3. Before We Start Our 8-Step Framework : Begin our eight steps process framework. Before we begin the process, let me explain in a few words why I think this method and this framework is so practical and why it eliminates the pressure and makes achieving our your goals so much more doable. Today we will take your goals for upcoming months, big or small and make them actionable. We will use tools like Canva to visualize your dreams, pin tress, to spark ideas and identify what vibes, what ideas, and what visions you identify with the most and AI to a inspiration and to plan with milestones and with trackers. But the goal is so much bigger than just making the plan. For me, and I think for you as well, this isn't just about productivity. I believe it's about creating life that feels aligned with what matters to you most. The importance of setting intentional actionable goals. I prefer to focus on six, ten or 12 upcoming months, but it can be a shorter or longer period of time if you prefer it that way. It's also completely up to you. I won't tell you you have to work with 12 months. It can be six, ten months. It can be any amount, any period of time you prefer. So I will mostly talk about 12 months because that's my preferred length. I prefer to think about 12 months a year from now. When I do my planning, but feel completely free to modify this period, your preferences, and you can let me know in the discussion section which period of time is your preference. What was your choice? When I think about upcoming 12 months, planning for it, dreaming about it, getting excited about it, yeah. But I know when I talk about it loudly, I can get this reaction planning. It feels Oh. Sounds like a chore already, doesn't it? Because I know planning for many of you can be very work related. It sounds like a spreadsheet full of obligations, tasks, responsibilities, more pressure. It's enough to make you want to crawl back into the bed with a cup of T and let the word spin on without you. But here's the thing. I believe planning doesn't have to feel like that. It can be exciting. Planning doesn't have to feel like being shackled to someone else's rules, like it very often happens at work, especially in the corporate world because today it's not about turning yourself into a productivity robot who churns out results every quarter, like some corporate KPIs. No. Planning when you do it for yourself should be about building the life you want to live. A life that really fits you. It will be cliche, but I think you should design the life that fits you like your concrete jumper. You just feel good with it. Yeah, it really does sound cliche. But yeah, that's what I think. It was, um, it was just the first comparison that came to my mind. Sorry. But I know even this process, even planning for yourself, it can also be stressful and unpleasant when you don't know yourself. When you are still hesitating, which steps you should take, which direction you should choose. This is especially very stressful when you are multi passionate. When you have so many passions, you are not sure which career path or which path in general you should follow right now, which step should be your next one. So in this course, we will also focus on your deeper needs, your deeper dreams, and we will take steps, and we will take time to identify them. But let's go back to the planning for a moment. Why do we do it, though? Why plan? Because, let's be honest, we are not all naturally gliding through life on a cloud of go with the flow. For most of us, I think, if we don't plan, we wake up on, for example, January 1 with a head full of fuzzy resolutions, and then somehow link and it's October. And where are we still standing in the same spot scratching our heads, wondering where the year went. And, listen, I want to make this not about feeling guilty, not about guilt. It should be about freedom instead. The kind of freedom you only get when you decide what you want, what you want to do with your time and your energy and your life. Not because society told you to or your parents told you to or some loud, handsome guy on Instagram. Even if he has acute acute beard. But just because you said so to yourself because you feel this is something you want to do. This will give you this satisfying feeling of self confidence because, yeah, I truly believe self confidence comes from doing what you promised yourself to do from doing what you said you're going to do. Now, let me ask you this. Have you ever really thought about what you would like your life to look like? Not what it's supposed to look like. Not the career, the house, the holidays, the good life checklist. We're all handed at birth. I mean, you. You version. Your secret version. What gets you up in the morning? What kind of thoughts? What makes you laugh so hard? You snort? What makes you so focused, you forget to check your phone. I will tell you something. The upcoming months are the perfect canvas for painting that picture and for getting closer to your dream. To a secret dream vision. Because no matter what you are going through right now, when we are waiting for the perfect time, it never comes. So the timing is right. Yes. The world around is very stressful right now. The world is changing faster than ever. All systems are breaking down, and while that feels very scary for me, as well. Won't deny it's also a massive opportunity because I really think in these uncertain times, we need to focus on what we can control because it can give you a clearer head, and I think this is something we all need more than ever now. But here is where it gets tricky. Most of us don't actually know very well what we want. And that's okay. It's not our fault, I think, because the education system at any point, didn't teach us how to dream big, how to identify what we want from life. It taught us how to pass test, fill out forms, and show up on time. But unfortunately, this is not where the story ends. You can figure it out what you really want from life. And that's what we are going to do today together because I truly feel and I truly believe identifying your goals and then turning your dreams into a plan. Is the biggest investment you can make. And the return of investment is crazy. It will be crazy because I know when we talk with friends or family, we often brag about our dreams. But sometimes we aren't quite sure if the dreams we brag about are really ours. And sometimes the case is different. We think about our secret dreams quite a lot, but they stay there. They stay in this dream zone. We feel like they are safer there in the dream zone. But, look, I really believe life is too short and too precious not to try to go after your dreams and your deeper needs. Just try, one step at a time. But, okay, I know this is not a motivational course. I'm here to tell you and show you the exact steps. Every change and every radical decision is scary, feel scary. That's why I don't recommend big steps and radical changes most of the time. Today, we will rather focus on baby steps that are going to take you really far, and it will happen without any big shock or big pressure because we are going to do that step by step. 4. Why Plan for Upcoming Months? : I plan for upcoming months setting the stage. I know some of you prefer the science based facts, and I'm also in this group myself, and that's why I prepare some hard data to show you now. So we can start the process with high motivation, and you can also I realize that it isn't some manifestation, but rather a process to identify and clarify a plan so you can really achieve what's truly important for you. Goals improve performance. A study from Dominican University of California found that people who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them compared to those who didn't. Written goals provide clarity and act as a constant reminder of priorities. Planning increases success rates. Research from the American Psychological Association shows that creating a detailed plan increases success rates by up to 50% because it reduces uncertainty and helps people anticipate challenges. Small steps increases your chances for success. Breaking down into smaller actionable steps boost motivation, and studies show that achieving smaller milestones activates the brain's reward center releasing dopamine which motivates continued hot. Time management improves efficiency. Planning helps allocate time effectively. A study by McKins revealed that 87% of executives waste time daily due to a lack of clear priorities, showing that structured plans prevent wasted energy and increase productivity. This is exciting Visualization enhances results because it's a mental mental rehearsal. Neuroscience research indicates that visualizing success activates the same brain regimes as actually experiencing it. This mental rehearsal can improve performance by up to 20% according to studies in sports psychology. Accountability multiples chances for success. A Harvard Business School study found that individuals who share their goals with someone they trust 76% more likely to achieve them compared to those who don't involve others. That's why it's a good idea to share this one element of your plan in our class project, it just a friendly reminder. Specific goals leads to better outcomes. Look and Lathams goal setting theory reveal that specific and challenging goals lead to higher performance compared to vogue or easy goals. This research showed that specificity increases focus and effort, indeed. Tracking progress improves the outcome. Research published in the Journal of applied psychology found that people who track their progress towards goals are 33% more likely to complete them than those who don't monitor their achievements. Planning reduces cognitive overload. Planning reduces mental clutter, and study in the Journal of Personality and Social psychology show that creating a plan lowers cognitive stress, making it easier to focus on execution. And now disagernic effect the unfinished goals stay at the top of your mind. Psychological studies on the Z garni effect show that unfinished tasks remain on your memory, creating a psychological push to complete them. Planning helps organize and resolve these incomplete intentions. So I think we have a lot of reasons. I think you have a lot of reasons to complete this course. Right? 5. Retrospection - Reflect on Past Months: Respection. We will reflect on past months. Okay, so we need to start by looking back before we can look forward. Now we will reflect on past months, what worked, what didn't, and lesson learned along the way. So we need to make the past months useful, looking back and noticing how these past months we will help you identify how you feel about different parts, different areas of your life, and what was and what wasn't in port for you. So right now, we need to focus on the past six or 12 months or any past period you prefer. And we will focus on what worked, what didn't, what surprised you the most? What are the moments that stick out good or bad? And yes, we will write them down, write them down. Don't overthink it, write everything that comes to your mind. So what are you proud of? What was meant to be finished by then, but you just didn't make it. I've also prepared the questions that can help you with this process. You can take a screenshot or actually several screenshots and answer them in your notebook or maybe in your notes app. I'm also sharing the link to these questions in the notion template if you prefer it that way. And I've divided the questions into six categories. Personal achievements and joy. What made you feel happiest in the past month? What accomplishments big or small, are you most proud of? What moments or activities brought you a sense of purpose or fulfillment? What unexpected successes or wins did you experience? If you had to choose one thing that worked really well for you, what would it be and why? The second category challenges and struggles. What did you struggle with the most in past months? What kept you feeling stuck or held back? What patterns or habits cause challenges or stress in your life? Were there goals you set but didn't achieve? Why do you think that happens? What moments or decisions left you feel disappointed? Now, the next category is health and well being. How well did you prioritize your physical and mental health? Did you notice times when you felt burnout or overwhelmed? What led to those moments? What activities or habits helped you feel energy and healthy? The next category is relationships and social life. Which relationships brought you most joy or support? Were there any conflicts or difficulties in your personal or professional relationships? How did you handle them? Did you spend enough quality time with the people who matter most to you? The next category is productivity and focus. What help you stay productive and focus on your priorities? Were the tasks or goals you procrastinated on, what contributed to that procrastination? How effectively did you manage your time and energy? And now the last category, future alignment. What area of life you feel you neglected the most? And where do you think you made the most progress? And how can you build on that moving forward? And, yeah, I know. These are a lot of questions. You don't have to answer them all. But I think our lives deserve this kind of attention at least once a year. To be honest, it always amazed me how much time people are willing to spend, for example, planning vacations, planning honeymoon, or planning the perfect gift for the person you love. Yet, we often hesitate to devote even one full day to plan our future and make the strategy to achieve what we truly dream of. But here is the thing taking the time to reflect, set goals, and map out what matters most isn't just an act of self care. It's a way to make your upcoming months more intentional, more focused and most aligned with what you truly want. So like I said before, the return of investment can be incredible. A few hours of thoughtful reflection can now save you months of stress, uncertainty, and second guessing later. So take your time with this. And then take a deep breath and think about the upcoming months. For example, a year from now, not a generic year, your year. What would make it feel like a win? But not what would make it look good on social media or what would impress other people? No, what would make you deep insight proud, happy, fulfilled. If you don't know yet, that's also fine because that's what the rest of this course is for. We will figure it out. And also spoiler alert, but I think I've already told you that. We are going to use some clever tools to help AI, like HTPT for brainstorming and breaking things down. Cava for creating visuals that inspire you and keeps you on track, not because you need tools to live your life, but because sometimes they can take the edge of the overwhelm. 6. Identify Your Key Life Domains with AI: Identify your key life domains with AI. Now we are going to do some soul digging because the goals should make you feel a little nervous but also very, very excited. The ones that if you actually achieve them will make you look back and this year and think, Yeah, I nailed it that year. And let's be honest, defining big goals can feel very very overwhelming because where do you even start? You've got your career stuff, your health stuff. You become better human stuff. And suddenly, it's just too much stuff. And this is where I specifically hATGPT comes in to save the day. In my personal opinion, HAGPT is amazing for brainstorming. It's a little bit like having a good friend who is endlessly curious, never tired, full of ideas and really, really good and asking the right questions. Of course, the trick is knowing how to use it. And, of course, I will walk you through what has worked. For me. The first step, identify your key life domains. So first, we need to figure out what areas of your life you actually want to focus the most. Not what other people think you should focus on your and only your priorities. For example, for me, this year it's a mix of career, health, and personal growth. Relationships are also very important for me, but I'm most comfortable with my closest circle is quite small, quite, very small. And I'm happy with how my closest relationships are right now. So it isn't the live domain I want to work on and transform this year. But your list might look completely different. And here are how you can identify your key life domains easier. Here is the pump I have crafted for this purpose. I want to identify the key life domains. I should focus on this year to create meaningful growth and fulfillment. Start by considering my recent challenges. Here you type in what you struggle with the most in the past months and what brought me the most joy, and here you type in a moment or activity that made you feel truly, truly happy. Next, reflect on my current priorities. Here you type in what you feel is most important to you right now, and compare them with what I think I've been neglecting. And here you type in areas of life you feel need more attention from you. Think about my long term vision for myself. Here you type in where you see yourself in 1-5 years. And align that vision with the areas of life that matter most to me, such as relationships, health, career, creativity, finances, or personal growth. Factor in current limitations like time, energy, or resources, and here you type in what feels like the biggest constraints for you and identify the domain where I can make the most impact this year without spreading myself too thin. And as you can see, the flats from the previous chapter, your previous reflection will help you fill out this complex HAGPTPmpt. You can also take the questions from the previous chapter, paste them along with your answers into HAGPT let it help you analyze your reflections. And this will allow it to come up with even more personalized and thoughtfully analyzed options for you. So that's also a good and smart idea. And I know this might sound like much work. It might make the process a little longer. But trust me, it's worth it. Because by giving HGPT more context about your thoughts, challenges and wins, you will get much deeper insights and more actionable suggestions tailored to your very unique situation. And HGPT will spit out a list things like finances, creativity, physical health, mental well being, hobbies, social connections, spirituality, less long. And you don't have to use all of them, reflect on them, and pick only the ones that actually resonate with you the most. For example, maybe you decide your top areas I have career health and creativity, and that's great because now you've got a foundation to focus on and to work within instead of just a big pile of goals that feels very overwhelming. For example, here's what Chachi PT told me when I shared my answers with it. I feel like these final takeaways are really, really on point. And I agree with them. And yeah, the analysis is really accurate. I feel a little bit almost naked mentally when I share such personal things with you. But I do it mostly because I hope it will inspire you or give you this motivation to take your time to finish today's process for yourself and see that it's really working. And as you can see here, sometimes HBT will try to give you ideas for solutions and steps instantly, right away. But for now, focus on the final takeaways the most because we will brainstorm steps and specific goals a little differently. My framework includes a little different step, a little different idea to do that. 7. Brainstorm Goal Ideas with ChatGPT: Next brainstorm goal ideas with hL GPT. Now we are going to pick a few key goals for each key live domain, ones that feel meaningful and motivating for you. Sometimes these goals are already in your mind, super clear and specific because you've been thinking about them for a long time. For example, I know, for 100%, going to lose seven kilos this year to get back to the weight where I felt my healthiest. So that goal of mine is super clear. I know I have to do that to feel healthier and be healthier. But other times, you know the area you want to focus on. You need to focus on, like, for example, career, health or creativity, for example, but you're not quite sure what specific goals to set. And that's also okay because that's where CGPT can come in handy. Write down any specific goal you already have. So first, if you've already been dreaming about these specific goals, if you already have some specific goals in your mind because you've been thinking about them for a long time and you know you have to do that, write them down now. For example, here is what on my mind. This is, of course, only a small part of my goals, but I don't want you to overwhelm me with a long list, so this is the part of it. So for career, I want to monetize my hotel content creation and build a strong network of connections. So opportunities will start coming to me. I need to optimize my workflow because I want to work less for clients and official projects. And spend more time on my personal creative work. Though this goal needs to be more specific to be actionable, and I know I need to avoid overworking myself in this not so smart way that isn't productive, but just getting closer to burnout. I need to figure out how to monetize my creative site more smartly without getting closer to burning out. And for health, as you already know, go back to my old weight, the one I felt best at before I let sweets and cakes back into my life in such big portions and exercise at least four times a week, even if it's just for 20, 30 minutes a day. So that's the part of my list because simple specific goals makes the vision for the upcoming months or for the upcoming year so much clearer. But if you're unsure, of what to focus on. That's where this brainstorming, this step number two will help. Step number two, let TAGPT help you brainstorm your goals. So if you don't have clear goals yet or you simply want to expand your options, I think this is the perfect time to use HGPT to make it all clearer. And here is my refined prom, the prompt I crafted for this purpose. You can use this to brainstorm, and it really will help you. And this is the prompt I crafted. I want to bring storm goals for my key live domains and here you type in list your key life domains such as, for example, career, health, creativity, relationships, you get the point. Help me identify at least 20 specific actionable and achievable goals for each domain that I could set for and here you write a time frame. This year, the next six months, just the time frame you want to choose and you've already chosen in the previous chapters. Feel free to include ideas that are small, medium, and ambitious and explain why each goal might be valuable or impactful. For example, let's say one of your key life domains for the upcoming time frame is career. CLGPT might give you things like launch a new personal project or rent, build a professional network of 50 new contacts, speak at a conference or event in your industry, learn a new skill, and get a certification. Some of these might jump out at you. Yes. And some might feel like, Oh, man, that's not my. That's totally fine. Point is to get ideas flowing and choose only the ones that resonate with you the most. So do this reflection for each live domain from your list from the previous chapter. And yes, you will end up having a ton of ideas. And that's exactly what we want at this stage. A big messy brainstorming. But remember to choose only the ones that resonate with you on a deeper level. So take your time. Don't rush and connect with yourself to distinguish which goals resonate with you on this deeper level. The first step, refine and narrow down. The harsh truth about life is that you can't do everything, and you don't want to end up with a list of 20 big goals because let's face it. If these goals are really big, too big, you will burn out by next month and you will feel disappointed and stressed out, and that's exactly what we need to avoid. So once you have your list, look at it. Look at this new list of your goals and ask yourself looking at each goal. Does this goal excite me for real? Remember to be totally honest with yourself. That's the key rule. Will it make a meaningful difference in my life? Is it something I can realistically work towards this year, this quarter or, you know, any time frame you've already chosen? And if you're not quite sure, you can ask hATPT for help. That's also where HGPT really can do a good job. So type in something like, can you help me prioritize these goals or what's a realistic timeline for achieving here you type in your specific goal? Of course, AI isn't perfect, but I think it's surprisingly good at helping you think things through think things through. So many T words. For example, let's say you narrow down your career goal to launch a personal brand. That's still a pretty big goal. And to be honest, it's a little bit gue. So it's a really smart idea to break it down. So you can ask Ta GPT, what are the goals I need to set to launch a personal brand this year? Any time frame. Now you got a list of goals you can set that are much more attainable than just launch a personal branch because I think, you know, we need to make our goals as much specific as possible, just to make sure we can measure the progress we made. And when it comes to the big goal as launch a personal brand, it's too big because you can, for example, set up your social media profiles and say, Yeah, I've launched a personal brand. So you need to make goals like this more actionable and much more and also, that's what we are going to discuss in the next lesson. 8. Break Down Each Goal into Smaller, Even More Actionable Steps: Break down each goal into smaller, even more actionable steps. So, alright, we've got a list of your goals. They're shiny, they are exciting, and they are staring at you, like, Okay, now what? And that's the tricky part because goals, when we set them are inspiring. Yeah, they really are, especially when they are a good fit for you, for your future. And I hope the process you took in the previous lessons and the previous chapters help you identify only these goals that are a good fit for you. But these goals can feel sometimes very often, a bit massive, like standing at the bottom of the mountain and realizing you have no idea how to get to the top. The trick is, of course, this you don't climb the whole mountain in one leap. You take it one step at a time, and breaking all the goals down into small, very actionable and doable steps is how you do that. So yes, even with the goals which we already have broken down into smaller ones, we need to work on them too. And here is also where HAGPT comes and clutch because you already know that. This tool is amazing for taking something big and a little bit overwhelming and turning it into a plan that actually feels doable and is doable. The first step, we will use JAGPT to create step by step roadmaps. So let's start with one of your beagles. Maybe it's something like mine lose seven kilos during the next six months. It sounds great on paper, very ambitious. But what does that even mean? What does losing seven kilos involve? What needs to happen first in order to achieve that? So we need to open up TGPT and ask something like, what are the steps to lose seven kilos in six months or the prompt? How do I break down a goal and here you type in your first big goal. ChaGPTDn will give you a list of steps, things like in my case, that was the list I got. So set realistic goals aim to lose approximately one half to one pound per week, which is a healthy rate, track your progress weekly or bi weekly instead of daily to avoid discouragement from minor fluctuations, create caloric deficit of 300 to 500 calories a day, eat more whole foods, control poison size, reduce added sugar, and proceeds foods and stay hydrated. And looking at that list for your first goal, we've got starting point. So that goal isn't only a shining, pretty sentence that doesn't mean much. So go through your whole list. Like that to see what this goal can include, what it can mean when we dig deeper into each goal from your list. Because maybe build a website and all the social media feels too overwhelming to start with right now. So you will replace it with set up an Instagram account and start posting twice a week. Or maybe HAGPT will suggest you something you hadn't even thought of, like writing a mission statement for your personal brand as the first step, just to clarify that and have a much clearer vision of what you want to achieve and what kind of personal brand you want to create. The idea here is to let AI guide the brainstorming process for you and then tweak the roadmap. So each goal feels achievable for you. And as I've already told you, do that with each goal from your list, and here's the prompt for you to copy. How do I break down a goal? Here you assert the goal? What should it involve? What needs to happen first? And now we need to do this step number two set quarterly milestones. I think here's the thing most people don't like about big goals. They take time. You're not going to cross the finish line in one day or even one month. That's where milestones come in. They break your big goal into smaller chunks, so you can focus on what needs to happen now instead of worrying about the entire year or about all the six months at once. And we'll ask TJPT for help here, too. For example, you can type in the prompt can you help me set quarterly milestone for launching and here you insert, here you type in your goal, for example, for launching a personal brand. And in that particular case, HAGPT might come back with something like first quarter to find brand identity and create a social media presence. Second quota, start posting consistently, consistent content and engage with your audience. Third quota, launch a website on portfolio, first quota, focus on growth and monetization strategies. Doesn't that feel so much less overwhelming when you know how to bring and transform that big goal into smaller chunks because you're not trying to do everything at once. You're just focusing on the next step ahead. So do that with each goal with each goal on your list. And, of course, here's the prompt for you to copy. Can you help me set quarterty milestone for here you type in your goal? For each one, so you need to do that process for each goal. Step by step, one by one. The first step prioritize tasks and identify dependencies. Okay, now you've got your milestones or each goal, and it's time to figure out the details. Within each milestone, there are probably a bunch of smaller tasks. For example, if your quot one milestone is defined brand identity, this task might include brainstorm your values and mission, choose the color palette and logo, write a tagline. Here is the very, very important part. Not all tasks are created equal, of course. Some need to happen before others. For example, you can't build a website if you haven't decided on your branding yet. You can't post content, if you haven't set up your Instagram or YouTube or any other social media account first. But sometimes the order isn't so obvious. So if the order isn't obvious for some of your milestones from your list, ask hA GPT. What are the key steps for creating Here insert goal? For example, a brand identity, and in what order should I do them? This will help you figure out what to focus on first and what can wait. And you can also ask for advice on timelines. For example, with this prompt, how long does it usually take to hear you type in your activity, the part of your goal. For example, create a basic website or the second prompt. What's a reasonable schedule for posting on Instagram as a new brand. This is only the example, but you get the point you have to type in your activity, your small chunk for your goal here. And this will help you set realistic expectations so you don't burn out and trying to do everything at once. Oh, look, breaking your goals into these actionable steps isn't just about getting organized. It's about giving yourself a roadmap that you can actually follow. It's giving you this plan you can stick to, and you know you're on the right path. You are moving forward. And it really will turn your goals from something a little bit abstract into something very, very tangible. Are not, for example, just working on your personal brand or getting healthier and losing seven kilos or writing a book. You are completing very specific tasks one by one, and each one is bringing you closer to where you want to be, for example, seven kilos lighter. And the best part, you don't have to figure it all out on your own. As I've shown you with the proms, HAGPT is there to bring stormed with you to map things out for you. And that way, that way, you can make sure you are not missing out anything important. And trust me, I think you will feel 1 million times better once you've got a clear plan for each goal. And the best part is that with that roadmap, you are already one step closer to making this year your year. Or making the next six months your six months. Isn't it exciting? 9. Visualize Your Goals with Canva: Align your goals with canva. So here is the thing about goals, dreams, and the things you need to do to make them come through. They're great and fiery. But if you don't keep them front and center, life has this funny way of pushing them to the back of the closet. And no one is pulling them out again until December or the end of the quarter or when the deadline rolls around and you are like, Alright. These goals. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I need to do that. This is where the visualization comes in. And listen. I know how it may sound like that it's not just a cute, interestive thing people do for fun. No, not at all. In my opinion, it's about keeping your focus sharp and your motivation alive because when you can see your goals every day, they stay alive in your mind. And the easiest and the most fun way to do that. Of course, Kanva. Okay, don't listen to that if you prefer it, V. But yeah, this is just the simplest way to do that. Because Canva makes creating a visual representation of your goals so simple, even if you're not exactly design wiz and the result can look so good, so good. You'll see. So let me walk you through how I use Canva to make a vision board homo like action board, goal board. That actually works. The first step, use Canva tem plus to create a digital vision board. If HGPT is the brain of my planning process, Canva is the beauty. I don't know about you, but I'm a very visual person. So seeing my ideas laid out in a way that looks good is super important for me to remind me what I need to focus on. And yeah, with Canva, I'm making it happen. So I use Canva to create those digital vision boards for my goals. And, I will pull in photos, colors, and quotes that match the vibe I want for the year of the quota, things that remind me why I'm doing what I'm doing. It doesn't have to be perfect or polished, but sing it all together like that, it just feels more real. Like this is my vision, this is my goal. I'm designing this and I'm doing this. I also use Canva to make planners and trackers, and that actually work for me. I know that people have different preferences, so you might use Canva on notion to do that because notion is also very interactive, so it's a good idea, and it works very well for this purpose. And I also very often switch between those both tools for different life areas. Did you know that most premade planners have that one section you will never use? Like, for example, meal planning when you are not a meal planning person mo tracking, and you never know how to qualify your mood or how to describe it. So you never actually use that part. I feel like we don't need that part we don't want to use. And Canva and notion let me create something completely tailored to my current life, something functional and and beautiful that I actually want to use. This is very important because you need to use it to make it work. So for me, these tools are a way to take all the swelling ideas in my head and make them tangible and see the process. They give this structure to my cows. And let's be honest, sometimes, many times, planning can and will feel kodic even with hGPT even with the proms I've shown you. So using Canva and using notion is also a good way to play, to experiment and to create the templates that feels uniquely yours. So with Canva, first things first, open Canva and then type here vision board or college into this template search bar. And yeah, you will get a ton of options. Just take a look. Here we have different grids, mood boards, just whatever vibe you are going for. This is where you will find plenty of them. So take your time and pick one that speaks to you. This will be just the foundation, the base of your template. Look for the one that feels like the good base. And don't overthink it. You will modify it and edit it to your needs anyway because I highly doubt you will find the one that is perfect right from the start. And once you've got your template, your base, start thinking about your goals. Let's say one of your goal is to write a book this year. And what image what kind of picture pops into your mind when you think about it? Maybe it's a stack of books, and on the top of that is your book. Maybe it's a laptop in a cozy cafe. Maybe it's an inspiring quote about creativity and consistency that will keep you going. Whatever it is, that's what you're going to add to your birch. For example, my process looks like this. My process for the free goals I mentioned in the first chapter looked like this. So this is my foundation, my base, and my very first pictures that represent the goal. And the elements that will keep me going toward these goals. And now we are going to step number two, add goal specific visuals and motivational quotes from Pinterest. And now we need to fill the board with even more visuals. So when you've got the base, for example, two pictures that represent every goal of yours, we need to fill the board with even more visuals and even more quotes that will keep you going that represent your goal. Do you have any specific pictures saved on your phone or on your laptop? Then use them, upload them right there. If not, if you don't have many of them, dive into Pinterest and start searching for keywords related to your goal and your milestones. Look for images and quotes that just resonate with you. Those that reflect the result you want to achieve of the journey, you will be taking together and save only the ones that speak to your heart. And the ones that inspire you, you know that will inspire you to stay focused on your vision, on your goals because these visuals should serve as a reminder of your aspirations and the exciting process ahead. So for each goal, choose at least two images that capture the essence of what you are working towards. For example, if one of your goals is to prioritize self care, maybe you add an image of a beautiful bathtub surrounded by candles, and it will represent the cozy Friday evening you will spend on self care every week. If you are focusing on career growth, maybe it's an image of a stage to represent public speaking on a conference you dream of performing at or a sleek desk setup to remind you of that corner dream of a vibe. And this is important. Don't stop at pictures at quotes and words that resonate with you. And yes, Pintres is also a great place to look for them. One of my personal favorites is you don't have to be perfect to make progress. For me, it's such a good reminder that saves me from being overwhelmed when I'm, for example, in the messy, messy middle of working towards something big. And it's really good and smart idea to have such reminders on your vision board. Or gold board, as I prefer to college. The first step expert and keep it visible. So once your vision board is done, ready to use exported. You can save it as a digital file to use as your desktop wallpaper, phone background or even your lock screen. That way, every time you open your laptop or check your phone, you will get this little spark, this little reminder of what you are working towards and why it's worth it to wake up a little bit earlier or why it's worth it to get more motivated. But if you're a mob of a pen and paper person, print it out. Stick it on your fridge, your bathroom mirror, also, if you want, or above your desk. Somewhere, you will see it every day. The goal is to make sure this vision board, this goal board, this action board, it doesn't get buried in a folder or completely forgotten. You need to see it every day. And, yes, I know it may sound like something that is more for woman than for men. And something too fun to actually work. But dive into data and studies to learn more about why it really works. It's a visualization of your goals, and it increases productivity so much. Because visualizing your goals isn't just about pretty pictures, pretty vibes and aesthetics. No, not at all. It's about creating this daily connection to what you want. And when you can see your goals, they start to feel real and when they feel more real, you are so much more likely to keep working towards them, even when life gets busy or hard or just simply overwhelming, and, you know, it does very often. So a vision board is more than just pretty pictures from interest and pretty quotes. It's a tool. A tool that keeps your focus sharp and your energy pointed in the right direction. And yes. Nowadays, we are so lucky to live in this age where Kalma makes it really ridiculously easy to create something beautiful, inspiring and totally yours, and then you can print it out. You can use it as your wallpaper and see it every day. So, yes, it's really easy to put it into practice. 10. Create a Weekly and Monthly Planning System with ChatGPT, Canva and Notion: Create a weekly and monthly planning system with TGPTKanva and notion. Alright, now we need to talk about systems because goals are great, milestones are even greater. Vision board keeps you going. But if you don't have a system for tracking and planning, I think it's way too easy. I think it's way too easy for those goals and milestones to float off into someday territory. You know, the length of unfinished projects and forgotten ambitions. So I think the secret to staying on track is weekly and monthly planning. Yeah, I know. It doesn't sound glamorous at all, but it works. And when it works, we have to discuss it. I really believe planning like this it's how you turn big dreams into daily actions and make sure you are actually moving forward instead of just spinning your wheels. Good news with tools like HRGPT and Canva, you can create a system that fits your life perfectly. So yeah, no boring spreadsheets required. The first step, use HRGPT to generate weekly and monthly planning templates. So let's start with the basics. What does a good planning system actually look like for you? I think that's a very individual thing. So I want to make sure you choose the one that is the right fit for you, the one you feel good with the one that works for you. Because only then you will use it. So open ChRGPT and ask what should a weekly planning template include? Give me a few options. You can also specify how many options you want to see, for example, ten options or 20 options. Or you can also use this prompt. How do you create a monthly goal review system? Give me a few options. JGBT will give you suggestions, things like a space for your top priorities or goals, a task list for things you need to get done, time blocks for scheduling, specific activities, sections for reflection, like what went well. And what needs improvement. You can even go more specific. For example, this is the prompt I really love. What's a good weekly planning system for balancing these goals or milestones? And here you type in or paste the list of your goals and milestones or the second prompt. How do I track habits for these milestones and goals? Alongside my to do list. And here you also paste your list. And TTBT will help you brainstorm the ideas that actually fit your life, not just some generic systems that look good on paper but falls apart in practice. The second step use Canva or notion to design your personalized planners. So once you've got this sense of what you want your planning system to include, it's time to make it yours and design it. And two amazing tools you already know can help you bring your vision to life. And these are, of course, Canva notion. I think as I've already told you, they are both very user friendly, so you can just choose whichever works best for your preferences, or you can also create your systems in both and just switch between them for different, for example, key life areas. So when it comes to Canva, just search for planner, weekly schedule or have a tracker in their templates. And you will instantly have a ton of options to work with. And the best part is, of course, the fact that you can customize absolutely everything, and you will need to customize it. So as you can see, the choice is really, really satisfying, I would say. So if you want a slick, minimalistic layout with only the essential essentials, they are here. And if you prefer something vibrant and playful with doodle spaces and fun extras, that is possible, too. And of course, you will need to add your headers, modify the categories, adjust fonts, tweak colors, feel free to do everything. Just whatever makes it feel yours, whatever matches your preferences and your needs for your system. For example, when it comes to me, I love designing my weekly plan with a space for three top priorities and to do list, so I can put this MOD when I finish the task and a little reflection section for the end of the week. And because Canva makes it really easy to add all the personal touches I need, I always include a motivational quote or a random note section for ideas that pop into my head, so I have the space to just pace it to write it down. So I think for me, it's not just functional. It's something I actually want to use because I know it structures my workflow. Notion for more dynamic and interactive planners. If you are more of a digital planner person, I think notion is where it's at. You can think of it as your all in one workspace where you can design dashboard, create progress, trackers. I think they are very, very helpful. And keep everything organized in one spot. Some people also prefer to use template, for example, the second brain. And every template and notion is super customizable, which means you can build a system that perfectly fits your workflow, and it's also much, much more interactive than Canva. So I think that's the whole beauty of notion because right here, you can design audio system and it will be so much more than just a planner. I think the beauty of notion that it's much more than just a planner because like I said before, it's interactive. So you can add calendars, link the databases, and create trackers for your hobbits, goals, and projects. Plus, there are already tons of templates. Some of them are free to get you started, so you don't have to build from scratch. Here are a few notion templates that I really like, and they are free, so you can just download them from these official notion templates, platform, and they are really amazing. You can customize them from there. For example, here are the progress tracker template, and there are also progress metric templates, and there are also ones that include really funny and really useful task, progress charge templates. The options are endless. So which tool should you use? I think you already have your favorite, don't you? I would say if you love designing and want something pretty to print out or keep on your desktop. So if you love designing with doodles, with choosing drag and drop elements, and you want to print out your planner, your tracker, your system, I think Canva is perfect. But if you prefer a second brain, a digital space where you can twig and track everything as you go, also from your phone, then I think notion is your jam. Either way, it's also a good idea to use both tools because both tools give you the freedom to design a planner that actually works for you. And that's the whole point. So you can use Canva for the one you will print out in notion for the interactive version. 11. Accountability Check-Ins: GPT for weekly accountability check ins. Okay, here's the thing about planning. It's not a one and done kind of deal, unfortunately, because, you know, life happens all the time, goal shifts, priorities change. And I think that's why you need regular check ins. You need regular check ins to make sure your plans and your goals are still working for you. And I would say accountability is everything when it comes to sticking to your goals, and HGPT can become your accountability partner, your accountability body who never counsels on you. We will use HGPT to create a review system. Open HGPT and ask something like what questions should I ask myself during a weekly goal review? And here you can also paste your goals and your milestones from the previous chapters or how do I evaluate progress towards my monthly goals? And then HAGPT might suggest questions like, for example, did I accomplish what I set out to do this week month? What challenges came up and how did I handle them? What's one thing I can improve on for next week month? So set aside time every week and every month to go through these questions, choose the questions that you think will work the best for you. And then adjust your plans as needed. Maybe you are ahead of schedule and can tackle something extra. Or maybe you are behind and need to reassess. Either way, I think these reviews will keep you grounded and more focused. So every week, take a few minutes to check in with HAGPT and ask questions like this. What should I focus on this week to stay on track with my goals? What's one small thing I can do this week to make progress on and here you type in your specific goal and your specific milestone you want to achieve. What are some ways to stay motivated if I feel stuck with here you can also type in your goal of the milestone you are walking towards and HGPT will give you suggestions, reminders, or even a little pap talk if you need it. In my opinion, it's not about HGPT telling you what to do. It's about having this digital space, this safe space to reflect, recalibrate and prioritize. You can also use it to review your week. At the end of every week, ask what questions should I ask myself to evaluate my progress, and HGPT might suggest prompt like Did I complete my top priorities for the week? What went well and what didn't? What do I want to focus on next week? Very often, this simple practice can make a huge difference in keeping it consistent and intentional. Of course. Of course. Having an accountability partner in person in real life is great. But let's be real. That's not always an option. That's not always possible. Maybe your friends are scattered across the country, or you just don't know anyone who is on the same page as you right now. And that's totally understandable. But if having someone to check in with feels like a game changer for you and you prefer to have a person, a real person, not hGPT, don't worry. There are plenty of places online where you can find your accountability partner. Who will get it. I've heard from my friends about a few platforms that seem like good starting points. You are looking for someone to help keep you on track. I've divided them into a few categories. For general goals and productivity, there is this platform, focus mate and it's a virtual coworking platform where you can pair up with someone for a set session to work on your task. I haven't tried it. But I think it sounds really good. It sounds like it's great for productivity and sticking to your routines. Looks like this. And I can see that you can have free sessions per week and a free plan, and it can be free forever. So I think sounds good. But as you can see, it was also featured in the New Yorker, the Guardian, the Forbes, even Harvard Business Review, so maybe something worth giving a go if that's the type of accountability check you prefer. There is also the group accountability body on Redit and it's a subredit dedicated to connecting people with accountability partner for any kind of goal. For fitness and health goals, for example, if you have a goal similar to mine to list some kilos or just to get healthier and in shape, my fitness pool community, it offers forums and groups to connect with others who share similar fitness or nutrition goals. You can find groups or even individuals for accountability, challenges, and motivation. For writing or creative goals, there is nano mo writing reps, and you can join the National Novel Writing Month community to find writing bodies who will keep you accountable year round. So that might be a good idea if your plan is to write a book this year. Critics circle. I've heard this is where writers can exchange feedback and keep each other motivated to stick to writing schedules. For career or site hustle goals, there are many linked in groups, so you can join specific professional groups related to your industry or interest to connect with others who can keep you on track. I think that's a good idea. I think that's a really brilliant idea to stay on track. And also a funny part of the list for habit Building. I've heard of Habitica, and that way, you can gamify your habits and join groups to keep each other accountable while earning rewards for staying consistent and it looks like a game a bit like this. And I know I know it can feel a little bit weird at first connecting with a stranger about your goals, but I think you will be surprised how supportive these online communities can be. So whether it's for fitness, writing, career goals or simply anything else, you can almost always find someone out there who is trying to walk the same path as you or have similar goals. You can let me know in the discussion section if you prefer to have your accountability partner in person, or maybe you prefer to talk with HGPT and keep your Gold secret safe. Just kidding. But let me know. I'm really curious. What's your perspective on this? 12. Final Words and My Question to You: Final words and my question. So before we wrap up, I want to take a moment to reflect. The process we've gone through in this course isn't exactly simple. I know. It's layered, thoughtful. And yes, it requires some time and a lot of energy. So if at any point you feel unsure like you've missed a step, don't hesitate to revisit any chapter. I think that way, it won't take you long, and sometimes hearing something a second time makes the whole process. And the order of things so much clearer. Now here is the most important advice from me. Start doing today, even if it's just a baby step, maybe it's writing down one goal. Opening Canva notion and browsing the templates I told you about or typing in the simple prompt into ha JPT and playing around with it. Don't. Please don't let procrastination sneak in and convince you that waiting until tomorrow is somehow better. No, it isn't. It isn't. Progress. Even the tiniest bit beats perfection and waiting every single time. And here is where I turn it over to you. I'd love to. I'd love to hear what you think about the cars. What resonated with you the most? What did you enjoy? Is there something you'd like me to dive into in more detail or maybe a topic you'd like me to teach you next? As you probably know, if you have watched my previous courses, your feedback means the world. Means the world to me. It helps me grow. It helps me understand you better, and it helps me create more useful materials for you. And if you enjoy the course, leaving a review is the kindest thing you could do. Every review, even just a short sentence or two sentences motivates me to keep creating and keep getting better at it. It also helps others discover the course, and it genuinely means so much, so much to me. And I think I will be forever grateful for every single review. So for now, thank you for joining me today on this journey. And now, listen, it's time to take that very first step towards designing the life you've been dreaming about. And I'm so excited to see what you will create. Let's make it happen. Let's make it happen. See you in the next one.
