Planning out years is often a pointless effort, I wouldn't recommend it unless you have good reason to believe that you will be going steady for a long time.

A good question to ask, is: what is the half-life of my priorities?

Which can be answered by looking at your current top 5 goals, and going back in time to see:

1. How long ago did I create these?
2. What were my priorities and goals before?
3. How long ago did I decide on those?

From this information, you can deduce how long your priorities last, before you make a growth spurt and change them again.

Let's call this value Hp.

This is the maximum amount of time that it makes sense to make a plan for.

Your current pace of personal growth = 1 / Hp

Which means that you are actually developing faster, if you find your priorities shifting quicker.

So there is no shame in making a 3 month plan only.

This is highly personality dependent.

You are looking at this through the lense of someone who uses these tools in order to live intentionally.

There's a big section of people for whom these tools actually would be in the way of living intentionally.

 

Personally, I've been either one at different times.

These days, all I need to make good decisions are my powerful vision and my intuition, and just being in touch with raw inner power and Creation.

Decisions are not the source of regret, self pity and frustration.

They are merely the object of projection.

Regret itself is a decision that can be un-made, thereby unlocking tremendous potential for learning and growth, which can not be accessed from the framework of regret, which implies "right" and "wrong" decisions.

 

@Thought Art  I'll stop nitpicking now and just say congratulations on this video! Just realised you made this. Excellent!

I like the topic!
