Hello and welcome to Best Laid Plans.

This is your host Sarah Hart Unger and this is the podcast where we talk all things planning

and planning adjacent.

Today I'm going to talk all about nested goals, which is my own goal setting system that I've

developed over the years and that I'm really proud of and that I use every single day.

So more about that in a minute.

I often get a lot of questions about nested goals and it is a lot of what I teach in

Best Laid Plans Academy.

But I feel like I've talked about it enough here

without going into quite enough detail. And so today I'm going to get into some of the nuts

and bolts and the things that I get asked about all the time. But first, a few life updates.

Today's episode airs on January 22nd. So that means we're past the, oh my goodness, this year is so shiny

and new phase. I mean, maybe. But I have to say, this year, more than most recent years,

I feel like I've really been able to capitalize on that new year energy for myself. I'm hoping I can

keep it going a little bit longer than I have in years

past. I'm not sure why that is. I think it may have to do with being squarely in post-pandemic,

normal life realm for me for my career being in a more stable place than it's been at the

start of the year for a long time.

In 2019, I was just kind of getting ready to transition into an administrative role with the

residency program. 2020 was kind of adjusting to that and we kind of had mumblings of some stuff

coming down the pike. 2021 was obviously crazy.

2022, kind of same.
