Are you ready to take charge of your goals this year? Discover how GTD can simplify your approach and help you turn your goals and habits into long-term success.
Goals Without Overwhelm
A viewer recently asked: How do goals and 12-week plans fit into GTD?
In this video, GTD Coach Julie Ireland breaks it down:
✅ Goals in GTD live in your Horizons of Focus—they’re broader than projects but still actionable.
✅ Regular reviews keep goals on track. Most goals fail because they’re set once and forgotten. GTD ensures they stay front and center.
✅ System over outcome. Whether it’s health, finances, or career, every goal needs a clear project and next action.
If you’ve struggled to align GTD with your long-term goals, this one’s for you.

A structured approach makes all the difference. Read this Medium article to learn how to integrate habits seamlessly into your GTD system.
The Big Secret
Goals are tools, not golden calves.
Here’s the key: What we focus on changes what we notice.
When we set goals, we tune our minds to recognize opportunities we might otherwise miss.
In fact, the value of long-term goals isn’t in the future they predict, but in the shift in perception they prompt today.
Want to shift your focus and notice new possibilities? Start using your goals to change how you see the world right now.
