Nice break down. One suggestion, when you are setting up your rewards, avoid clothing until you get closer to the end goal. A couple years ago I gave a goal of shopping for new jeans when I lost the first fifteen pounds of my 30 pound weight loss goal. (This was a year long goal). I bought an expensive pair of jeans when I hit the half way mark. Two months later the jeans were too big.
1) I love your videos and even though I am not at all organized I find them so relaxing and helpful. 2) As both a phyisican and a woman who has struggled with weight her entire adult life (and most of her teen life too), 8kg in 90 days is a very respectable goal (17lbs in 12 weeks) and to go much faster then that would not be healthy and would almost certainly not last. Good luck! As a general rule this american wishes we could adopt the metric system, but when it comes to weight loss I think it is much more rewarding to think in terms of pounds then kelos. Thanks for all the wonderful videos.
2:08 losing 8kg in 90 days sounds like enough work! You inspired me to lower my 90 day weight loss goal to be more in line with yours. Now I need to go journal about my why!
This video was really helpful! It made me realize I have been too broad with my goals and it's definitely what's kept me from making the progress that I want. Thank you for sharing this process!
speaking specifically as someone who usually doesn't eat fruit and veg (except potatoes) the way I've been able to add fruit and veg is two fold: I chug a super greens blended into water (like 8 ounces) and eat a piece of fruit first thing in the morning. Usually a lunch box sized fuji apple or an Anjou pear because I like those and they are relatively small. The super greens help with bloating if I have junk food later on and I don't see my weight fluctuate as much. it also helps with digestion since mine have a ton of probiotics. strongly recommend getting unflavored and adding some liquid flavor such as mio. Plus, the fact that I took this healthy step first thing in the morning usually pressures me into making healthier choices during the day. Boom. first 8 ounces of water, a full serving of veg, tons of probiotic goodness, and a serving of fruit.
really useful. Thx ! To lose weight, the best is to change habits for a long term, and not just having a restricted diet just for a while. The easiest way is to eat mostly vegetables, increase protein (egg, chicken, turkey, fishes, starches mainly), decrease carbohydrates (especially sugar and white bread which should be only exceptions) and choose good lipids (from vegetal instead of animal). Take collations during the days to avoind craving (nuts, yoghurt, fruits...). Drink reallllllly often and ONLY water (no alcohol, no sugar drink, except maybe one bubble tea per week to reward yourself :) ). I hope you will achieve your goals !
Goal setting...really the hardest thing for me to do. I'm too distracted with work to even begin. But I do have goals for my self other than work. Thank you for guiding us through. I'm learning a lot from your videos. They're so inspiring. I better get started :)
It has really been difficult for me to go back to Journaling after my mom passed away, but I feel that this video will help me go back. Thank you so much!
This was so helpful! I often set goals, but have trouble working toward them consistently. Hearing you talk through your process gives me some ideas of how I can approach my goals differently. Thanks for sharing!
This is my pain point. The mind map being sloppy causes my adhd to give nuts. It looks overwhelming so I get overwhelmed and shut down. What I am learning is I need to put my mind map in an organized manner. What I did was to put the mind map sections into boxes. The boxes put them more in an order where my brain takes one box to break down each action steps for each item in the box. That allowed me yo. Reate action plan involving the action steps. It's extra steps but provides the clarity my adhd brain needs to not b overwhelmed lol. But this video got me on the right path with dealing with goals and trackers.
I need to get serious about this....I have 68 days til beach vacation and I'd like to make sure my existing swim stuff fits well. I've lost around 40lbs/18kg **three times** and gained it back due to two pregnancies and a mental health disaster a few years ago, and it gets harder every time.
Thank you, Jess. That was super helpful to watch your process. I sometimes get stuck with my action steps. I would like to come up with a set of prompts to help me come up with ideas to make progress steps. Baby steps. Now that I am in a better space mentally I really want to tackle some long ignored goals. Wishing you all the best with your goals! Have a great week! 💜
It is never to late to set goals and strive to achieve them! I've been struggling with meeting the goals I set up for myself. I was thinking of making (or getting) a goal planner to help me keep track of the steps. This is right up that alley. Thanks! Keep us posted!
Thank you for being so brave as to share your health goal. I've been trying to lose weight and stop smoking, I've achieved the stop smoking but found that the weight loss has gone out of the window. I'm a reward myself with food person, but I'm determined to try and go down a dress size before christmas. Having had an ED in the past, I'm wary of weighing myself and getting triggered by numbers so I'm working on if my clothes feel looser I'm doing ok. Thanks again for a great video. Jx
Clothes measuring is an awesome way of tracking progress! I want to include some sort of mobility /breathing one… or maybe a strength… (thinking through can do 100 steps without dying type thing! 🤣 or can make it through the half hour yoga class without taking a break)… Thanks Jay for making me feel like I’m not the only one who hates/fears the numbers! And a HUGE congratulations on the quitting smoking!
Thank you, once again. This is something I missed in some books and accounts about BuJos: The connection of goal pages to action-lists and trackers. For me, this is essential to get the most out of my journaling. 👍😀
I have an even smaller weightloss goal for the same time period because I need to start losing again. I'm with you on needing a small goal to motivate me! I've been walking for exercise and I made it more enjoyable by signing up for a distance challenge online. It cost money and comes with a medal when you finish, so it's extra motivating!
OMG! This is exactly what i wanted but didn't know how to do... giggle, giggle. i just randomly threw in trackers and wondered why its bleh.. You're so smart! 🎉 Thank you for this, absolutely!
I absolutely LOVED this video. I am planning on setting goals for the last 3 months of this year, and your breakdown was very helpful and informative. Thank you for this.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for breaking down goal setting to this detail! And for being willing to share with us. I very much get intimidated to write the se things down, and just keep it nebulous in my head. I also definitely reward myself with counterproductive things like food haha.
TBH I wasn't feeling too excited about the B5 A&O journal I've selected for my next bujo, but seeing you use it for goal planning has changed my mind. I've been struggling with how to incorporate 90 day goal planning in my current A5 journal. Part of that struggle is because I'm new to goal planning, but part of it simply constraints due to journal size.
this video really motivated me. i want to learn my boyfriends language (i recently moved to his country) and this sounds like a great opportunity to try your method! also, are you going to update us on how it worked for you so far? would be really cool to see! thank you either way, and hope you have a good day 💜
This is so helpful!! I've never seen a goal broken down so thoroughly. I've been struggling with my Start-of-Year goals and this comes at a perfect time because I'm migrating to a new bujo. Some goals were met, a lot... need help. Namely my no-buy for stationery and cosmetics. The pretty colors are so hard to resist TT^TT
First, I really love your content and your videos, this one is no different! As for second, about the weight, for me 8kg in 90 days would feel like one hell of a goal! You say it's not a lot, but I lost 13 in a years time (consistently gone). I have nooooot worked out as much as I could have (because of health issues) and I still lost that weight by just eating healthy. I feel like it's going slow as everything, but eating healthy first makes the weight loss for me a lot quicker now that I can workout daily again :3 Good luck on the goals in general and thank you for sharing your methods
You will always struggle to lose weight (regardless of food and exercise) if you don’t get enough sleep and water and are too stressed. This is what causes us to produce too much cortisol, which is why the body holds onto weight. I would start with sleep (8 hours) and hydration (80 Oz) as habits first. Think of these as foundational. All the work and effort on food and exercise will be wasted if you don’t have these down! Trust me … I have learned this the hard way (when trying to lose baby weight, while baby was still night feeding … pointless!!). Good luck!!
I reward myself with food too!! Oof! I'm trying to figure out a nice thing, not expensive, but still fun. I'm not sure yet. Like maybe a nice cup of cider or ?? I don't know. 🤔
@@JashiiCorrin I meant the mini calendars on that last action list page in the video. But those week numbers in the year does make more sense given how you numbered them... I wasn't able to figure out anything else they could represent. Thanks!!
I have a tip for losing weight. Only eat the amount of food listed as a single serving size . This helps with overeating . Also getting smaller plates and bowls .
Questions related to your health goal: • how will you clearly define overeating? • how will you determine “60%?” (60% of the time not overeating) I hope those random thoughts actually help you as you consider your goal! Haha
I've been tracking it based on comfort level at the end of any meal (do I feel over-full). As I then have the data for every meal in each week, I can calculate from that what percentage of meals I stopped before I was over-full 😊 Am also tracking what I ate as part of the meal to see if there are particular foods that I "get carried away" with often, haha
I just finished setting up my Level 10 life from your other video and now I can see them filled in. Curious about the star placement tho, and their meaning?
I'm totally going to try this, because I *need* and *want* to start using my bujo regularly. As well as wanting to track myself about going to the gym regularly too, and doing art/creating/making, so I can start getting into the habit of taking my art much more seriously. I was wondering if you might have any ideas of a Rewards Spread that can have different tiers to help inspire me to get, and stay, motivated? I've been thinking of a "basic", "medium", and "high" tiers, as well as a Bonus tier, where, maybe I can set rewards for buying something from my Amazon Wishlist , or treating myself to an ice cream cone, etc., but I'm trying to figure out how I would set this up...Like....in order to qualify for the ""basic" tier, I have to do my weeklies at least once (I have things I'm setting up that weeklies are several times a week), the "medium" tier is if I do them half way, and the "high" if I do them as planned. And a "bonus" tier for actually using my bujo to keep track (thus, I'm actually using my bujo!) This was an idea that a friend of mine suggested I try out, so of course, I'm doing Google image searches for inspiration, but I'm still coming up short on those, so I figured I'd also ask you to see what you think about this, and if you have any suggestions on how a Rewards Page spread might look like. Thanks!

Great walkthrough of how you plan your goals! I've never thought of comfort as a value but I'm 100% "stealing" that because it's so right.
speaking specifically as someone who usually doesn't eat fruit and veg (except potatoes) the way I've been able to add fruit and veg is two fold: I chug a super greens blended into water (like 8 ounces) and eat a piece of fruit first thing in the morning. Usually a lunch box sized fuji apple or an Anjou pear because I like those and they are relatively small. The super greens help with bloating if I have junk food later on and I don't see my weight fluctuate as much. it also helps with digestion since mine have a ton of probiotics. strongly recommend getting unflavored and adding some liquid flavor such as mio.

Boom. first 8 ounces of water, a full serving of veg, tons of probiotic goodness, and a serving of fruit.

Very much one of those "I-know-what-to-do-but-now-I-really-just-have-to-ACTUALLY-do-it" kinda things 😝 haha, thanks for the pointers!
Thanks for sharing your health goal! Looking at your video makes me inspired to write my own goal (weight loss) and how I can work through it!
Aww yay! I’m glad it helped inspire you 😄💜
Love to see how you brainstorm your action steps. You make it seem so easy!

Thank you for sharing!! I feel a deep need for a fresh approach to quarter 3 and this is literally perfect
Thanks for the video. It's really helpful to see this method through a worked out example. I hope you reached or approached your goal!
Thanks! 😄💜 Glad it was helpful for you 💪
Thanks for this. I love setting goals, with action steps to take to achieve them. And 8 kilos sounds very doable. Please keep us posted!
Thanks Liza! Will do 💪😄💜

To add: since you already have a video on physical health spreads, could you make a video on food logs/nutrition tracker spreads?
Saving this to watch tomorrow morning. I have a few goals I'm working on so this will be right up my alley. Thanks so much!

This is a great tutorial. I keep coming back to it! The only thing I do not understand is why your daily calendars have 8 days in a week.
Depending on which calendars you’re looking at, I might have included the week numbers to help me see progress through the year as a whole 💜😄
@@JashiiCorrin I meant the mini calendars on that last action list page in the video. But those week numbers in the year does make more sense given how you numbered them... I wasn't able to figure out anything else they could represent. Thanks!!

Jess...this is one of my favorite videos you've ever done. I know you've told us before...what video tells me the tombows for your rainbow?

Your hair looks great today (not that it's horrible other days! 😜 (I'm doing a little year-start binge-watching!)
Love your videos!!
M
can you give us the templet pdf or sample of these action plans
What would you have done if you ran out of room in a column? I was concerned watching you fill out that first one!
Good question! Probably just set up an extended list on the next available page or in the back of my journal 😄💜
I hate exercise, but I've been able to do it consistently by watching a certain TV show that I ONLY watch on the exercise bike.
Haha yeah that’s how I operate as well 😝 shame that the first show I picked was very not motivating 😂
Same goes for me. I started with YT video's, but for now it's Downton Abbey. So, yeah...today's episode was over an hour 🥵🥵🥵
what pen is that? ( the black one )

Hello from British Columbia Canada
🇨🇦👋👍♥️🌲🧘♀️🌲🚵♀️🌲🎨🖌📚☕😎
Weigh yourself everyday, naked, first thing before you eat or drink anything write it down track your progress.👍😎
Audiobooks during exercise
Water water water...and more water 💧🌊💦
8kg in 3 months can be a lot.
It’s a little over half a kilo per week, so certainly within the realm of possible though 😊
Omg why are you so cute???
Haha thanks 😝💜😋
