    every 90 days "I get a new chance to succeed" I think is extremely inspiring and positive! 🥰

      Thank you for commenting 🙏🏻 I really needed this reminder this week 🥹 I think I would need now a new chance every four weeks to keep on track 😅

    Kiitos paljon. This is a balanced look at Sarra's system (although I realize it's a older video, her system remains pretty similar from quarter to quarter, year to year). I think the bootcamp is reasonably priced (US$199, I believe) but many people will be tempted to just buy the planner for less than a quarter of the price (which includes the 50 or so pages of workbook at the front of the planner) and to work through it at their own pace. Some people tend to be more successful than others with this method. Of course, if you try to DIY it and fail, you can always take the bootcamp the following quarter (and, once you've bought it, you have access for life). I personally bought the undated, full Sunday start of the planner, which is important to me and very hard to find (most "Sunday starts" have normal Sunday start monthly calendars, with Monday to Friday weekly/daily pages and a variety of ways to deal with the weekend), and I can print it myself every quarter. Of course, I've used other 90 day systems (quarters) and was also familiar with the concept of setting 3 goals per quarter and breaking them down into actionable chunks to handle monthly/weekly/daily. That may have helped. Did you find the videos to be very helpful in explaining the workbook concepts? Did they talk about anything additional that you can't get from the planner/workbook? Why are there about 30 videos if the course is supposed to run for 7 days? Are you supposed to watch 4-5 videos per day? I'm on my 3rd 90 day cycle with the HB90 and am finally getting the knack of planning with time blocks (although I cut them in half, for 15 minutes at a time, not half an hour, to reduce resistance). As for "the phrase" someone else mentioned, you said Sarra says something repeatedly that grates on you but declined to specify what it was. I'm going to check out the other videos you have and see if they resonate with me. Thanks again.

      Thank you for commenting 😊 I try to answer your questions as good as I can.
      I counted and there are now 33 videos, 34 if we count the bonus closing call she had this time.
      Days seven and four have 6 videos and that is a lot! Most days have 4 videos, but I can’t do the course in seven days if I’m not clearing my calendar and life for it.
      Now I’m planning my Q3 without the videos, but usually I have watched or listened to them while doing chores and then done the tasks and planning between videos. But now I decided due to lack of time to skip the videos except opening and closing call. And I have watched the course videos so many times already that I’m very eagerly waiting for the re-make of the course.
      There is about 9 to 10 hours of video material. So of course there is a lot more than what you can fit in a workbook. She gives examples and explains things in the videos. But of course if planning is familiar to you, you can do the system with the workbook alone, but I think you will then miss Sarra’s style and ideas, which is kinda in my opinion the point of doing HB90. There are a lot of planning systems, and this one does things a bit differently again.
      For me the power of this system comes from the repetition. It helps me to get motivated to take the time to plan again, because I can take the course every quarter (or whenever I want). And because the opening call is always live and new, I at least watch that and get inspired to plan again. And planning does help me to move my life and goals forward, so that is why I have stuck with this system. And although I despise some of the exercises, those are the ones that help me the most and that is why I force myself to do them - and the pressure of the course every quarter helps tremendously in that.
      The phrase is a saying which we don’t have in the Finnish language and I didn’t know it in English either, so it didn’t open up to me and when somebody constantly says something that doesn’t make any sense to you it gets irritating. And I find it is a stupid saying (which they sometimes are) so that doesn’t help either.
      But I don’t want to point it out, because I want everybody to have their own experience with the course. If something bugs me, it doesn’t mean it would bug others. You may love that saying and use it yourself also all the time.
      Hope this helps and If I missed a question, feel free to ask again 😊

    Never heard of this before your review. This is right up my alley. Being a writer in today's market is totally overwhelming and these past few years have been a struggle just to stay anywhere near on point for me. I'm totally interested in this.

      Especially that you are a writer, you would probably profit a lot from the community of other writers, I would think. Check out Sarra Cannons CZcams channel for writers if you haven't already. That way you learn if you enjoy her style of teaching so know if you would also enjoy her courses.

    Thank you for making me realize I didn't have to buy the Q4 version, that I could get it from the course page having taken the course a year ago. Too bad I didn't find this before I cobbled together most of the quarter's stuff from the old undated and updated Q1 2022 that I already had downloaded. I look forward to checking out more of your videos. :)

    • @Katiplans
      @Katiplans  Před rokem

      Well, it is there, but of course Sarra wants you to buy the new planner every quarter or year - depending which version you use. I bought the yearly goals planner for 2022, which was an economical choice since I don't need the planner pages.

    I've been following heart breathings for awhile and I'm not a writer, so always on the fence if the system would work for me. Not sure! Sometimes accountability can also be a bit too much pressure... I suppose it depends on every person's situation. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I definitely like quarterly planning as opposed to just yearly!

    • @Katiplans
      @Katiplans  Před 2 lety

      In the end, it's very little about writing, but I get your hesitance. I was wondering that too before making my decision. But I can say that it's not about writing - you can make it to be whatever you want and need it to be, because you decide your personal goals.
      You have to find the level and way of accountability that works for you. We all are different - and even if something works for you today it might not work tomorrow... that's just how life is. We can handle different levels of pressure according to where we are in that moment mentally, physically... - and even according to how well we have slept the previous night.
      In the end, it's not about a certain system or method. I think the most important thing is that you feel, that you get out of life what you want. If you are not there yet, maybe a system will help you get at least a bit closer where you want to be.
      I had a bad day yesterday healthwise and what I have learned from the HB90 system is buffer days. So now I'm trying to be kind to myself and let just yesterday be what it was, and continue on from today.
      Oh my, your comment triggered so many thoughts so I just need to stop writing now 😅
      Thank you for commenting and sharing your thoughts 🙏🏻

      @@Katiplans You are right as she has said it can work for non-writers and I have seen reviews from people who use the method who are not writers as well. Ultimately it does come down to finding whatever "your way" is... I have't figured it out yet! LOL and like you said as time goes on, our life changes and our system changes... so perhaps it's a neverending process!

    Thanks so much for a thorough and helpful review about the course.
    I’m hoping to join the Q2 group next week. I also really struggle with working out my ‘ideal life.’ I’m keep editing it to be a more ‘realistic aspiration,’ but that’s not really the point is it? And the prioritising is also difficult for me. So I feel you there too.
    Did you print the planner on A4 paper and then cut it in half? Or is there a better method?

    • @Katiplans
      @Katiplans  Před 2 lety +1

      I'm so glad it was helpful. 😊
      You said next week - notice the course starts this week on Sunday 13th and there is a deadline to join. I think you have to join at noon EST before the kick off call, but at least before the call, if I remember that right from previous rounds. Just to let you know that you don't miss out if you want to join this round.
      I did print on A5 copy paper. That was easiest for me, because my printer does print on A5. It was a bit of a search but then I found an office store pretty close by that had A5 paper on the shelf. But there is actually also a video about this topic on the course - about how to print the planner 😅
      Yes, dream big or go home, but if you don't believe in that big dream... that is a struggle. I'm glad (but also anxious) that I need to start putting my dreams on paper - again. But I think that is such a valuable exercise, even though it somehow feels bad - but dreaming shouldn't feel bad so I still have some work to do with myself...

    • @daphnefaff
      @daphnefaff Před 2 lety

      Hej! I thought I’d let you that Sarra mentioned that USA starts daylights savings so the kick off call effectively starts earlier for us. So I think it will be 21:00 Finnish time if I’ve done my calculations right. Maybe that’s still too late, but just in case I thought I’d let you know. Hope you’re having a great weekend. 🙂

    • @Katiplans
      @Katiplans  Před 2 lety +1

      Yes, I noticed it was one hour earlier this time, but it's still a bit late if I want be sleeping at 10pm. It's not good to get excited about something right before bed 😅 so I think I get more value out of the kick-off call when I watch it at a time when I have the opportunity to start doing things.
      Did you participate in the live? Have you enjoyed the course so far?

    • @daphnefaff
      @daphnefaff Před 2 lety

      @@Katiplans I did watch the live. It was fun to joint in, but I think you’re right that it’s not ideal before bedtime because she tries to get you all fired up to do things. So far I’m really enjoying it. It will be great if it gives me a clear way forward for my projects. How about you? Is it different for you this round?

    • @Katiplans
      @Katiplans  Před 2 lety

      Haha - now you understand why I choose to skip it although it would be so fun to join live 😅
      I'm so glad to hear you have enjoyed the course so far. 😊
      I'm still in the vision-phase which is the trickiest one for me. I did the ideal life workbook but haven't got further. Big discussions going on with spouse and so on. This is always a tough phase...
      And I'm still deep in my Q1 projects and was actually waiting the course to be earliest next week, but on the other hand it is good to have now three weeks before Q2 to finish the planning. I'm hoping to have time at the end of this week to focus more on the course, but in my Q1 plan I have devoted the last week to do my Q2 plan, so I'm not worried (yet) that I can't stick to the course schedule.

    • @Katiplans
      @Katiplans  Před rokem +1

      Moikka - piti käyttää pari päivää sen miettimiseen, että mitä vastaisin 😅
      Suora vastaus - en käytä, jos ajatellaan, että suunnittelisin ja toimisin sen systeemin mukaisesti. Mietin kyllä, että olisinko osallistunut taas, mutta oli pää sen verran sekaisin vielä Getting Things Done -metodista, jota taas vaiheeksi yritin, etten kyennyt nyt.
      Epäsuorasti taasen se kurssi ja metodi on kyllä vaikuttanut mun menetelmiin. Mä vaan olen hieman addikti sillä saralla, eli aika monta erilaista aiheeseen liittyvää kurssia on käytynä, niin vaikea enää erottaa mikä on mistäkin, mutta mikään systeemi ei ole ollut kaiken kattava menetelmä mun tilanteeseen ja tarpeisiin.
      Sori, en tiedä miksi koen tarvetta selitellä näin pitkästi, kun esitit lyhyen ja simppelin kysymyksen, jonka vierestä nyt vastaan. En halua hehkuttaa, mutta en myöskään lytätä 😅 Se, että onko kurssista sulle hyötyä riippuu varmasti paljolti siitä kuinka paljon olet ajanhallintaa ja tavoitteita yms. opiskellut ennestään.
      Itse koin aikoinaan sen kurssin omat markkinointitekstit riittämättöminä, joten katsoin paljon videoita ennen ostopäätöksen tekemistä. Kurssista saatava hyöty on paljolti kiinni myös persoonasta eli otatko ilon irti sosiaalisen median ryhmistä jne.
      Jos haluat ja uskallat kysyä vielä jotain, vastaan mielelläni. En voi luvata vastaavani lyhyesti 😂
      Olen oman tien kulkija, joka ei suostu toimimaan muiden ohjeiden mukaan. Poimin parhaat vinkit kustakin menetelmästä ja yritän siitä rakentaa omaa täydellistä kokonaisuutta - saa nähdä tuleeko siitä koskaan valmista 🥹

      @@Katiplans Kiitos! Ihan hyvä kun pohdit pidemmästi, siitä on enemmän apua mullekin. Munkin mielestä ne markkinointitekstit on riittämättömiä, siksi kysyin nyt sultakin. Olen myös katsellut paljon YT-videoita aiheesta, mutta ei niistäkään oikein irtoa paljoa.
      Toisaalta olen samalla törmännyt mm. MakseLifeen. Heidän sivultaan pystyy lataamaan ison nipun tavoitesivuja, mikä on musta huippujuttu. Siis että pääsee tutustumaan matalalla kynnyksellä heidän tapaansa. GTD:hen olen myös tutustunut ja osittain aloittanutkin. Mäkin taidan olla keräilyretkellä ja nappaan toimivia juttuja eri paikoista.
      Ehkä ostan HB90-plannerin, joka on nyt alessa ja tutustun sitä kautta. Josko sieltä löytyisi enemmän menetelmää...
      Tsemppiä suunnitteluun ja plannerointiin! :)

    • @Katiplans

      Joo, MakseLifesta monet puhuvat ja tuntuvat monet käyttävän sekä MakseLifea että HB90-menetelmää rinnakkain - ensimmäistä henkilökohtaiseen elämään ja toista enemmän tavoitteelliseen toimintaan tai uraan.
      GTD on taas musta enemmän ihan vain siihen, että saa pidettyä hommat hanskassa, mutta se ei niinkään auta tavoitteiden tai suunnan selkeyttämisessä.
      Ehkä se HB90 on parhaimmillaan silloin, kun sulla on selkeä tavoite tai unelma, jota tavoittelet. Se systeemi ohjaa miten edetä askel askeleelta kohti isoa tavoitetta. Mutta se ei auta saamaan paperikaaosta hallintaan 😂
      MakseLifestä olen itse (vielä) pysynyt kaukana, joten siitä en osaa sanoa mitään muuta kuin muiden videoista päätellen se systeemi vaatii ilmeisesti paljon värikoodausta...
      Lähditkö kokeilemaan HB90-menetelmää vai veikö MakseLife mennessään vai löysitkö jotain ihan muuta? Hyviä vinkkejä otetaan aina vastaan 😊
