Life Pass Goal-Setting Framework

Goals are written only after the first three steps and should be specific and actionable within each focus area. The framework delays writing goals until after reflection, dreaming, and focus work are complete. The article argues that many goal-setting failures begin with choosing misaligned goals rather than failing to execute. The Dream phase asks how the person wants to feel in twelve months rather than what they want to accomplish. The Reflect phase emphasizes emotional review of the past year instead of cataloging accomplishments. The Focus phase uses time allocation to choose a few priority areas for the next three months.
