Priority Management Mental Model - This is how I organize everything in my life. I have a separate one of these filled out for the Physical, Intellectual, Social and Artistic parts of my life (PISA).
A lot of people like this so I want to expand with a few tips on *how* to use it effectively, as well as an example.
1. Start with Mission - A Mission is essentially a goal that never ends.
An example of a Physical Mission: "To maintain elite level health, athleticism and physical appearance and age gracefully without major degradation of body or mind"

2. Work your way down in time, starting w/ Visions
Visions are statements of being. Ask yourself "What do you want your life to look like in X Yrs?"
Ex : 20 yr vision (Age 47) - I am 5'11 185-190 lbs 8% - 12% body fat (be specific)
Mission = 1 statement, Vision = many items

3. Goals are more specific actionable statements that often have a definitive "success/failure" outcome.
Ex: 1 Yr Goal - Gain 10 lbs of Muscle
Ex: 1 Yr Goal - Gain 10 lbs of Muscle
4. Make sure each level builds on itself. If you have a 1 Year Goal there should be a Quarterly Goal that matches it & so on
Ex: 1 Yr Goal - Gain 10 lbs of muscle
Quarterly Goal - Gain 2.5 lbs of muscle
Monthly Goal - Gain 1 lb of muscle
Ex: 1 Yr Goal - Gain 10 lbs of muscle
Quarterly Goal - Gain 2.5 lbs of muscle
Monthly Goal - Gain 1 lb of muscle
5. To Do's are the same, specific actionable statements of what you need To Do in order to accomplish 1 Mo Goal. It should match
Monthly Goal - Gain 1 lb of muscle
Weekly To Do - Train 5x using progressive overload, Eat at Surplus
Daily - Train Chest, Eat 4 Meals +200 G protein
Monthly Goal - Gain 1 lb of muscle
Weekly To Do - Train 5x using progressive overload, Eat at Surplus
Daily - Train Chest, Eat 4 Meals +200 G protein
What this does it *frees you from having to think about the future*
Bc you thought this out in advance you *know* that all you have to do is consistently hit daily & weekly To Do's & you will accomplish monthly goal, hit all monthly goals & you'll accomplish quarterly etc

6. Revisit & Revise on a regular basis
Life is not static, neither is this framework, revisit all levels and review on a regular basis. Yearly (Top level of Goals framework) is a good place to start. Can do it more often if you want.
