It's nice to be able to connect with someone so we can grow together in learning. I haven't heard of the Franklin-Covey system to be honest, but I came across Mind Maps when I needed to organise some projects for work, and then realised they were a great way of organising information that isn't connected in a serial fashion. You'll really enjoy the Mind Mapping. Its important to remember the "one word" per node rule though. I'm going to be playing further with the goal tracking system, as they are releasing a mobile app for it soon and will be looking into introducing a method for noting tasks faster, so I am looking forward to that. Thank you for taking the time to comment and sharing your journey, that is always of interest to me. If you have any further questions or insight, I would love to hear from you take care No need to apologise at all. It’s nice to be able to connect with someone so we can grow together in learning.

I wanted to make sure the text content was the main focus, and hopefully I have achieved that. When we visit so many hundreds of sites a day, less is always more :) Thank you for your kind words.

I actually achieved one more goal, just this last week, so I was really happy about that! ;-) I'd be interested to learn what kind of goal setting and planning methods you have used. Its always nice to share ideas with people, as I dont think there is any one right or exact science. Its whatever works for you, right? ;-) Hi Jodi,

I just read through your article again and this time I followed all of your links and watched the Brian Johnson video, Tony Buzan video, and your QuickTip video. I also checked out the links and videos for EverNote. Your post is really as comprehensive as you said it would be in your opening paragraphs. You really covered all the bases. I am a very organized person. I have followed the Franklin-Covey system for years and years. But I stall out at a certain point. When I watched the video on Mind Mapping I realized that the problem for me is that my approach is so linear that it confines me. I will give mind mapping a shot. I also think the goal tracking system you found looks really helpful. Your video was fantastic. I love it that it measures your progress, has the habit builder option, and has the pictures to match up with goals. Thank you for explaining your system from last year. I am going to give much of it a shot. I am really excited. Okay, one more comment, sorry.

I love your advice to think big--when we forget this, we often limit ourselves to a do-list rather than a true goals list. I also like your advice to put pen to paper--there is something more powerful with pen and paper than using a computer when it comes to exercises like this one. Good for you that you completed 18 of your goals already. I think your 2-year timeline was very wise, also. Happy New Year! I wish you the best in the coming days! Jodi Hi Khuram,
