Living Forward: A Proven Plan to Stop Drifting and Get the Life You Want by Daniel Harkavy, Michael Hyatt

5.0

As recommended by a friend, I read the book quickly then set aside my "one day" to focus more on each chapter and build my own personal life plan. I dove into ‪the book and plan today. 6.5 hours, lots of notes, 2 Sparks and 10 pages later, I have the start of a Life Plan that can keep me from drifting away from what's most important. It was a helpful and personal process; flexible to meet people at different seasons of life, but a great template to work through your dreams and plans. Certainly the dedicated day (with a few breaks) was necessary. I love the themes that surfaced in most of my relationships and priorities which just confirms how interrelated it all is. Giving it a full day to work on (your Life Plan) will help ideas flow from thought to thought in a productive way. I had spa music in the background so could focus but have some mental stimulation through the day. There are also helpful ideas to put the plan to work and review it from time to time to revise as needed. Life has plot twists so that will be necessary, but the overall life goals should stay the about the same. If you are seeking a process or template to help plan your next few years or more, I recommend this book. Also would make a great gift. I wish I had this tool in my early 20s, but it's just as helpful in my early 40s.
