Episode 014: Lead Your Time Or Lose Your Year

We look back on a season that reached far beyond expectations and then roll up our sleeves to share how faith, neuroscience, and practical systems can turn flimsy resolutions into a legacy you can measure. We start with the heart: trading should goals for soul goals, inviting God into the planning, and pressure-testing dreams that outlive us. From there, we get tactical—how to write goals that survive the dopamine spike, ride out the emotional dip, and become habits through weekly accountability and small celebrations that keep momentum alive.

We map a simple, holistic framework across mind, body, soul, and spirit. For the mind, set concrete learning outcomes and test them in the real world. For the body, focus on longevity, not the scale—strength training, sleep, recovery, and nutrition you can sustain. For the soul, invest in relationships with rhythms that bring life. For the spirit, anchor the year with a word and Scriptures, then let private devotion overflow into public fruit. Along the way, we share the tools that work—Franklin Covey, Atomic Habits, the 12-Week Year, and Michael Hyatt’s Full Focus approach—and why leading your time beats managing it.

You’ll leave with a blueprint: define annual outcomes, break them into quarterly targets, translate to monthly milestones, and protect progress with weekly plans. Use the Rule of Three to cut the noise. Build guardrails, name your demotivators, and allow for holy pauses when the season says not yet. If you’re ready to make heaven crowded while building a life you’re proud of, this is your next step.

If this helped you, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s setting goals, and leave a quick review so more people can find hope and practical tools for the year ahead.
