Timing is everything. We often talk about the importance of knowing your "why", but when it comes to accomplishing your goals, it's also important to understand the power of "when". When are you going to make the space to accomplish your goals? If you choose poorly, you could find yourself struggling to succeed at goals that are both important to you and attainable.

In this episode, Courtney and Verbs talk about two important ways that you can use time to your advantage. They also answer a Full Focus Planner Community question about what to do when you fall off the goal achievement wagon for a month.

You'll learn-

• How to create urgency in your goalsetting

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
