​

  • At the start of each year…
    • What season or phase do you think you are in/entering in? What do you want this year to be about?

​

  • Every month or so…
    • Create a goal in the goals section of your website that is aligned with your outlook for the year

​

  • Every week…
    • Check in with goal
      • Develop steps toward meeting the goal
      • Create weekly action items in line with goal

​

  • At the end of the year…
    • Reflect on the past year...what has gone well and what did not?

Joel’s little notes for next time:

​

Overriding initial theme of the conversation - one way to look at PLC is to try to create a life and education that you would be excited to get out of bed for.

​

What would be exciting for you to do and is a must in your new life?

What things do you think you need to do, but aren’t thrilled about?

What things do you think your parents are going to want you to do?

What things must be avoided at all costs?

Are there any obvious obstacles to overcome that might prevent you from doing the things you want to do?
