The Process-Driven Goal Planner
Fall in Love with the Process, Not the Outcome
Motivation is fickle, but a good process is reliable. This planner helps you reframe your goals from unpredictable outcomes (which you can't control) to consistent actions (which you can control). This is how you learn to "keep working" effectively.
Step 1: Define Your Outcome Goal
What is the big result you are aiming for? Be specific. This is your destination, your "what."
- Outcome Goal: _________________________ (e.g., "Sign 10 new clients," "Reach 10k followers," "Generate $5k in monthly revenue.")
An outcome is where you want to go. A process is how you get there.
Step 2: Engineer Your Process Goals
What are the daily or weekly high-leverage actions that, if done consistently, will inevitably lead to your outcome goal? These must be repeatable and 100% within your control.
My Process Goals (The Actions I Control):
- Action 1: _________________________ (e.g., "Send 10 personalized outreach messages per day.")
- Action 2: _________________________ (e.g., "Post 1 high-quality video per day.")
- Action 3: _________________________ (e.g., "Spend 30 minutes improving my core skill per day.")
Step 3: Track the Process, Not the Outcome
For the next week, your only job is to check the box on your process goals. Ignore the vanity metrics and measure only one thing: Did I follow my process today? This is how you win the day, every day.
- Monday: [ ] Yes [ ] No
- Tuesday: [ ] Yes [ ] No
- Wednesday: [ ] Yes [ ] No
- Thursday: [ ] Yes [ ] No
- Friday: [ ] Yes [ ] No
- Saturday: [ ] Yes [ ] No
- Sunday: [ ] Yes [ ] No
By focusing on the process, you build a resilient system that functions whether you're getting no results, bad results, or good results. You just keep working.
