How My Goal Planner Went From Sad to… Less Sad

Okay real talk—my first “Personal Goal Planner” was just Post-its on my bathroom mirror that said stuff like “BE BETTER” until my roommate pointed out it looked like a hostage note. Turns out, personal goal planning works better when you, y’know, write actual steps. Who knew?

3 Reasons Your Planner Fails (From Experience)

  1. You treat goals like New Year’s Eve you
    • That version of you who swears they’ll “meal prep” and “journal daily” is a LIAR
    • My fix: Tiny goals. “Eat one vegetable” counts.
  2. You forget humans need naps
    • My old planner had zero white space, just guilt
    • Now I block off “existential dread time” (it helps)
  3. You use pens that bleed through pages
    • Aesthetic ≠ functional
    • Current system: Pencil. So I can erase my failures.

Final Confessions

  • I once wrote “be someone who folds fitted sheets” in my planner. I have regrets.
  • The template has a typo on page 2. Left it in. Keeps things humble.
