#143: It Starts with Me: Agency and Goal Achievement


Listen Later

Goal achievement always starts at the same place - with you. No matter how intuitive or inventive a system might be, all goal achievement is built on the concept of agency. With that in mind, the best way to achieve our goals would be to leverage our personal agency so that we can use the things we can control to influence the things that we don't control.

Today, Courtney and Verbs define agency and provide two helpful strategies to leverage your agency to achieve your goals. They also answer a question from the Full Focus Planner Community about how to reward a habit goal when it seems like you're going to fall just a little short.

In today's episode, you will learn:

  • How identifying what you do not have control of is critical to success
  • How a full schedule can actually provide clarity for what's most important to you
  • Why rituals are a key ingredient to goal achievement
  • Why having both Daily Big 3s and Weekly Big 3s are so important
