This isn\u2019t a tool to fill everything and anything you can think of (there isn\u2019t room for it anyway!). Use it with intent. Mark your most important dates &#8211; important appointments, birthdays, events, etc. Use it for start and end dates for your goals. It\u2019s to be a reminder of the goals you\u2019ve set, where you\u2019re going and a way to keep yourself accountable. For me, it\u2019s shows the long view and an amazing spring board for ideas. For example, as you see your friend\u2019s birthday approaching, you can make a goal to set up a wonderful lunch date. And since you\u2019re planning weeks in advance, the experience is more special, more intentional and less stressful!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Hello Goals Section<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4160\" src=\"https:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Planner-Perfect-Goals-Pages-a-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Planner-Perfect-Goals-Pages-a-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Planner-Perfect-Goals-Pages-a-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Planner-Perfect-Goals-Pages-a-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Planner-Perfect-Goals-Pages-a-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Planner-Perfect-Goals-Pages-a-100x100.jpg 100w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Planner-Perfect-Goals-Pages-a-360x360.jpg 360w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Planner-Perfect-Goals-Pages-a.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Use this to write down your goals for the month, and go into great detail. These are your goals for your personal life and relationships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">First, identify what you want for your month. Take your time and be very detailed, this is how you will succeed in accomplishing your new goals. Remember &#8211; it\u2019s all in the details.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Here\u2019s a couple examples:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Goal 1: Your goal is to lose 5 pounds in that particular month. Get detailed and write it down. Perhaps you want to research a weight loss plan, make dramatic changes in your diet, when and where you\u2019ll shop for healthy foods. Write it down, plan it out. For exercise, how will you do it and when? Maybe you\u2019ll need to wake up at 5 AM to get to the gym or implement the new routine you have to set in. This is where you\u2019ll get down to the nitty gritty of how you\u2019ll accomplish this goal, step by step.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Goal 2: Your goal is to discover your gifts and talents. Let\u2019s say this is the first time you\u2019ve taken the time to truly examine your gifts and how they can be utilized for your purpose. This may be the first time you\u2019ve ever intentionally sat down and thoroughly thought how who you are and who you\u2019re meant to be. Let\u2019s say you love writing. Maybe you want purchase Anne Lamott\u2019s Bird by Bird, write it down so you\u2019ll remember. Perhaps you\u2019d like to join a writer\u2019s group. Write it down, set aside time to research it. Now you\u2019d like to set up a writing schedule. Will you write at night? During the day, wake up early in the morning. Write it down and be very specific. The more details you plan out and implement, the higher you chances for success.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Remember, you aren\u2019t planning for the year, or your life &#8211; you\u2019re planning for the month. At the end of this month, you may discover that you\u2019d rather be a blogger or do online videos. Or, you may finally feel peace that becoming a writer is your calling. In the next month you\u2019ll either change course, or take it to another level. This is where you discover your gifts and talents!<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Hello Daily Life Section &#8211; 5 dated, two page weekly agendas<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4161\" src=\"https:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Dated-Weekly-Agenda-Full-Spread-Page-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Dated-Weekly-Agenda-Full-Spread-Page-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Dated-Weekly-Agenda-Full-Spread-Page-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Dated-Weekly-Agenda-Full-Spread-Page-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Dated-Weekly-Agenda-Full-Spread-Page-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Dated-Weekly-Agenda-Full-Spread-Page-100x100.jpg 100w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Dated-Weekly-Agenda-Full-Spread-Page-360x360.jpg 360w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Dated-Weekly-Agenda-Full-Spread-Page.jpg 1352w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">This section is the full break down of how you would like your day to run. Following by each weekly agenda you&#8217;ll find 12 pages to script your week.\u00a0 These 12 pages are less about to-dos and more about purposeful living. The planner has been created assuming you\u2019ll use a two page layout (two pages, side by side) to map out most of the days in your week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">For example: Instead of your day being filled with bullet points, it should be more about personal growth. Going for a walk, cooking a delicious meal, to a full evening routine for yourself that takes time for you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Of course, if you need a to-do list because you\u2019re day is overwhelming, by all means do it, but this method if set up to help you and your relationships grow stronger and to be more fulfilled. What I have found is that when I\u2019m detailed in my days, I find that doing so sets the tone and I\u2019m able to accomplish everything without having to refer back to it. Sprinkle your monthly goals into the days that fit. Intention makes everything fall into place naturally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Note: there are a couple pages left at the end of the plan book that are used for reflection. What goals worked? What didn\u2019t? What did you accomplish? What will be pulled forward into the next month? This a space for reflection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Month in Review<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4163\" src=\"https:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Month-in-Review-Page-a-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Month-in-Review-Page-a-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Month-in-Review-Page-a-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Month-in-Review-Page-a-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Month-in-Review-Page-a-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Month-in-Review-Page-a-100x100.jpg 100w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Month-in-Review-Page-a-360x360.jpg 360w, http:\/\/plannerperfect.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Month-in-Review-Page-a.jpg 1512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">There is no better time to get started than right now!
