Episode Details

You’ve probably been told to set SMART goals. Maybe you’ve tried time-blocking, habit stacking, vision boarding... and yet you’re still burned out, overwhelmed, or just plain unmotivated. What if I told you that the most effective way to create goals at work, whether you’re a manager, new hire, or solopreneur, is to start with how you want to feel? That’s right. Before you even write a single to-do, ask: What emotional state do I want to cultivate? Today, I’m teaching you my Feelings-First Framework, and the five research-backed reasons it changes everything.
