Hello and welcome to Best Lead Plans.

This is your host Sarah Hart Unger, and this is a podcast about all things planning and planning adjacent.

Today, I am coming to you with my 2025 goals.

This is a little bit more of a personal episode than usual.

You guys know I talk a lot about planning concepts.

I have experts on all the time.

I talk about various projects and I answer your questions.

And every once in the while, I kind of include my own stuff in the feed, like when I talked about my marathon or some hard times that I've been through.

through a detailed goal setting process and what you might come up with. But also because I

personally love to listen to other people's goals lists. And so I feel like I have to contribute

about my personal and professional and all kinds of goals on best of both worlds,

the other podcasts I do along with Laura Vandercam, but I would say this is the even more

detailed and fleshed out version. I recorded with her when I kind of had my goals in draft form,

and now I feel like they're pretty finalized and ready to share with best laid plans as well. So you can kind of

check out both versions of my 2025 goals by hearing both podcasts. All right. Well, here we go.

First of all, I will answer my question I always get, which is, where do these goals live?

And I did talk about it last week, but they are in my Ho Bonichi weeks this year,

which I'm using to kind of keep all my kind of larger scale tasks,
