Franklin Covey Planner: Step-by-Step to Define Values, Set Goals, and Prioritize Tasks 

Awesome! I have my own system, but I'm very influenced by Franklin Covey since that's what I used through school. Since making this video, I switched from adding a star by three "must do" tasks to using the ABC123 method. And that small thing has been a remarkable game changer in moving my focus from urgent to important!

Same here! Game changer. I've tweaked and added my own printables and such, but the base is always fc. Thanks for sharing! Love finding franklin covey videos.

Yeah it's so good! I have my own system, but I stole ABC123 after making this video and just that small thing really helps with prioritizing the stuff that matters.

Consider saying “I have ADHD” instead of “I’m ADHD.” You are not your condition, you are a person WITH the condition. It’s called human-first language, because the language we use really does make a big difference. I also have ADHD. 😉

Thanks so much! 💜

I’ve taken many trainings at work and elsewhere that use SMART goals, and there really is no one single definition of the acronym. I’ve noticed variation in what each letter stands for, depending on who’s doing the training. But the overall meaning is generally the same.

Thanks David! Glad it was useful 😊

@@kait-hanrahan You're welcome!

Ahh yeah. "Original" was probably too bold a language choice. I feel like Franklin has been the biggest influence on the planners on the market now. But I try to be more objective and keep my biases to myself in this style video :) Thanks for the note!

I have been an FC when it was Franklin Quest. @ArchtopBill, thank you for sharing the history because a lot of people don't know how it all began.🙂

@@DarlingPepper23 y You may be right, but his autobiography gave the account I cited.

Hyrum W. Smith worked at The Day Timer Planner company under Charles R. Hobbs, (Author of the Book “Time Power”), who was the owner of The Day Timer Planner Company, not Day Runner. Hyrum split with the Day Timer Company and along with Richard I. Winwood (Author of “Time Management,”) I believe. Began The Golden Eagle Mountain Company (GEM Co) which failed, and then Started Franklin International Institute, which became Franklin Quest in 1984 and then after a Merger in Approx. 1992 or 1997 Merged with a different Company, “The Covey Leadership Center,” which was directed by Dr. Stephen R. Covey to create the Franklin Covey Company. After that, Franklin Covey kind of split into two divisions in 2001 or 02 or so, and closed all physical Locations that sold Paper Planners and related supples, except The current USA Salt Lake City Utah Location and some international Locations in India, Japan and the UK, and created the “Franklin Planner Division of the Company. The “Franklin Planner divison of the Company handles the Paper Planner Printing and shipping and related supplies, etc. While Franklin Covey (pronounced “Cuh-Vee”) deals with Book Publishing and Leadership Training materials and Seminars, etc.

I know! I've bough so much audio gear trying to fix this. Even spent some time on the phone with an expert. My newer videos I brought the boom in frame with the mic an inch from my mouth; that's a little better. I think I'll have to sound insulate the office walls. But that project needs buy-in from my other half :)

@@kait-hanrahanyeah the echo/reverberation is due to the sound waves bouncing off the hard surfaces in your room. I’m a singer, so I have some experience with these kinds of sound issues. 😉
