In this episode, we talk about the first letter in the ROOTED acronym: Rooted in Your Core Calling. Grasping the unique calling of God for your individual life is a life-long process! But leaning into your core calling is an essential part of creating goals that fully resonate over the long-haul, compel you to follow-through, and produce a lot of satisfying fruit along the way.
Join us as we talk through discovering how your core calling is playing out in your life today, and how that should impact how you set goals! We also talk a lot about how this part of the ROOTED Goal Setting System is not meant to weigh you down, but give you freedom to lean into your God-given strengths, passions and responsibilities!

Your productivity will fluctuate based on the season you find yourself in. It can be easy to get caught up into thinking we should be able to plan and execute tasks regardless of what is happening around us, but this simply isn’t the case!
In this episode, we talk about how knowing your productivity season is a key time-management skill that can help you set goals and priorities accordingly.
We have found there are three main seasons of productivity:
- Surviving - 1:20
- Reviving - 5:20
- Thriving - 7:27
We talk in-depth about each of these seasons, and discuss different strategies for how to approach productivity depending on the season you are in. Join us for a conversation that is practical, encouraging and full of ideas you can implement right now!
Whatever season you're in, the most crucial step is knowing what your next-right-step goal is. The ROOTED Goals Workbook was designed to help you identify, strategize and execute your next-right-step goal. It teaches you to plan and prioritize tasks in the context of your life, whether you're surviving, reviving or thriving. Download your workbook today!

Are to-do lists your go-to when you know you have A LOT to do? We can relate. But the truth is that to-do lists are not a time management strategy, and they can actually hinder your productivity. When you rely too heavily on to-do lists, you end up overwhelmed, executing tasks haphazardly and not feeling like you ever make progress on the things that are most important to you.
In this episode we talk about how to use to-do lists effectively, and how to take a massive to-do list and distill, prune, and prioritize it to the most essential tasks that will fuel your productivity and leave you feeling like a task-crusher. We discuss the power of choosing top-targets for each day and how this practice of daily prioritization can help you make consistent progress on your biggest goals.

In this episode we give you our Quickstart Your Planning Guide based on the acronym PLANS.
