Big Goal of “Be The Writer”

Continuation of Cultivate What Matters Goal Planner

My Goal Action Plan, the first one in the Cultivate What Matters Goal Planner by Lara Casey was Be The Writer. I wanted to Grow, Expand, and Connect, to come full circle on all the different jobs I had done before. To write about my distinctly different life in a memoir, to write anything I wanted to and get paid on Medium, and create a legacy with my creativity in planners, scrapbooks, journals and videos.

I had to figure out how to make this happen. One of the great parts about the planner is figuring out what type of goal you have. There are three types of goals according to Lara Casey:

1. Habits: these establish routines and consistency in life. Some are new ones to cultivate, others are ones to continue. Over time, the small things become big, similar to Ben Franklin’s ideas of how habits become everyday living. These are the mini goals to get to the larger goal at the end.
2. Finish Lines: these goals move you from the present now to the future now. These are the nurturing goals that can be specific and measurable and can be done in a year.
3. Big Dreams: These goals are life-changing and take extra effort to complete. Most will only set one or two of these and they can take several years to complete.
