For a long time, I struggled to write down my goals and stick to them. All the goals seemed important, and I couldn’t figure out what to prioritize. I ended up sitting and staring at my life planner for hours. It all seemed intimidating until I figured out how to use my planner properly.
Deciding the goals to track in a planner can feel like too much. We may need to view life planners differently. A life planner is not just another to-do list, but a tool that can help you organize your life better.
The good thing is that you do not have to have all your goals figured out at once. Your focus should be on what matters in your present season. Here, I have broken down goals that would otherwise feel overwhelming into simple life planner goals categories.
And I know 50 planner goal ideas seem like a lot. You do not need all of them. Just pick the few that impact your life the most right now.

You’re probably thinking, ‘I have my own issues and challenges.’ I understand that. However, praying for others helps you to build empathy, look away from your problems, and also aligns you spiritually.
Every morning, pray for someone and write your thoughts or prayers for them in your faith or prayer journal. Encourage them if you can, and you’ll feel the same encouragement you share with them.
This saying is pretty cliché, but I’ll say it: ‘holding onto unforgiveness is like drinking the poison you wish you could give to someone else.’ But letting go of hurt is a way to free your mind and heart, and heal from the hurt.
You can journal about it and ask God to help you forgive. You’ll be happier and freer when you do.
This financial advice might seem weird, but it has saved many middle-aged women from having their house and life full of cheap, poor-quality items and even people.
Train your mind to embrace quality over quantity. Before you make another impulsive purchase, ask yourself ‘Do I need 3 cheap versions of this item, or should I save towards an original that’ll serve me long-term?’
A lot of us women always feel we need to work harder, even when we already work too hard. We think productivity is measured by long hours of work. But rest is also productive.
When you’re well-rested, you make better decisions. You’ll also be obeying God’s command.
If you struggle to rest, get a self-care planner, intentionally schedule rest days or hours, and really rest.
Now, let’s get to what we eat.
We’re often conditioned to count calories and avoid carbs, but truly prioritizing your health and wellness is more about knowing what you’re actually consuming and whether it’s healthy for you.
Steward your health diligently. Take note of the ingredients in your favorite products and cut out unhealthy ingredients.
Not your entire house. Not even your entire living room; just one item at a time. You can declutter an item a day or a week; just maintain a pace that isn’t overwhelming.
When you do this, you build momentum without any pressure. You’ll be surprised at how many items you’ll have in your donation or recycling box after some time.
Positivity is contagious. Share a compliment, a kind word, or a positive note with someone every day, whether your partner, child, or colleague. You’ll feel as good as you make them feel, and your bond will be stronger.
Have a planner or notepad handy, think of a statement that’ll mean a lot to that person, and write it to them.
We all have goals that scare us; I do, too. But we’ll never stop being scared if we don’t act. The more goals you smash, the more confident you become.
Get a Personal Growth Planner and write out the goals that scare you, then begin working on the least scary one.
If you struggle with fear, repeat 2 Timothy 1:7 to yourself ‘For God has not given us the spirit of fear…..’
As you spend time following these creative life reset ideas, you’ll begin to have new experiences. At the end of every week, write about one lesson you have learned in your Faith journal and reflect on it. The best way to grow is to learn.
No matter what you’re doing, schedule an hour a day to unplug from technology. Spend the hour on prayer, meditation, rest, or connecting with family.
It’ll reset your mind, improve focus, and help you become more present in the things that matter.
Although they might seem like unconventional personal growth tips, these actions are small but powerful. They add up over time and transform your mindset and habits massively.
Unlike what you’ve been made to believe, transformation doesn’t lie in grand gestures or big steps. It comes from consistently taking small, faith-based steps and building long-lasting habits.
Before long, these habits transform your entire life for the better.
Focusing on mindset shifts, celebrating small wins, and prioritizing spiritual alignments often have a bigger long-term impact than conventional ideas.
I love planners and journals because they help you take notes, write your reflections, and track your progress.
Writing things out will always be more concrete than just having them in your head.
I recommend using a prayer journal like this one to record prayers for others, a faith journal for forgiveness reflections, and a personal growth journal to track micro-goals.

Now that you know these unique ways to get your life together, you need to take action.
Start easy; pick 3 to 5 actions and start implementing them this week. It’s okay to start with just 1 if you need to.
As you take these small, unconventional steps backed by faith, getting your life together will feel less intimidating and more joyful.
Use the Personal Growth Planner to track your unique journey and see how small changes add up.
All the best, always.

Life has a way of turning out completely different from how we expected it to, and we often begin to realize this in our 30s. Have you wondered to yourself, ‘How come I don’t have it together by now?’
‘Why does it seem like everyone else has left me behind?’
This feeling is common to many women who are in the same place as you. You probably spent the past years managing a career, raising a family, or chasing a passion.
But right now, you probably have some questions running through your mind, ‘Why doesn’t my life look like this person’s life?’ ‘Why don’t I have what they have?’
First, I want you to know that life doesn’t look the same for everyone. It truly can’t. We’re different people, and what getting life together entails for one person can be totally different for another.
What matters is understanding what getting your life together means in your unique context and working hard at it. Whether it’s finding God, peace, purpose, or improving finances, the aim is to become the best version of yourself.
In the next couple of sections, I’ll be walking you through faith-centered self-improvement and how it can transform your life.

I strongly believe that the first step to a successful life reset is organizing life with God. The spiritual component holds it all together, and it is more important than any physical plan or strategy.
So, begin by reconnecting with God in prayer. Embrace prayer journaling, where you write out your thoughts and prayers and ask God to guide you.
As you receive clarity and direction, you can also write them down.
A prayer/faith journal is a very important tool for this step.
A cluttered mind and troubled emotions can trap you in one place when you should be moving ahead.
A truly balanced life is one where you’re spiritually aligned, mentally sound, and emotionally healthy.
To achieve this, you need to start by tracking your current thoughts, moods, and emotions.
Many Christian women have sacrificed self-care on the altar of making everyone else happy, but you shouldn’t do that. Instead, begin to consciously take care of yourself.
Meditate. Track your mood. Engage in self-reflection.
Use a self-care planner to stay mindful of your mental and emotional improvement, and use a habit tracker to target new, empowering habits that support your mental and emotional health.
Now that we’ve talked about how you feel and function, we need to work on what you do and how you do it.
It is easy to feel stressed and overwhelmed by so many activities and responsibilities. This can even be harder when you naturally struggle with staying organized or following routines.
These routines are important, and organization is key, but it doesn’t need to be rigid or complex. By creating simple routines and systems, you can reduce stress.
With simple steps written in your personal growth planner or digital planner, you can stay organized, set daily or weekly to-do lists, and take consistent actions that help you feel put together.

I like to say that our bodies deserve to be treated better because they hold it all together. This beautiful vessel given to you by God should be treated with love and honor, after all, it is God’s temple (1 Corinthians 6:19 to 20).
Taking care of your body doesn’t mean you need to sign up at the gym, go on a diet, or follow the latest trend. Simple, healthy actions you take daily, such as exercise, eating healthy meals, and sleeping well, can transform your health.
Set and achieve important health goals with general health tracking planners, weight-loss journals, and meal planners that help you to eat right every day.
Now that you’ve come so far, it is important to acknowledge your efforts and embrace the progress you’re making.
Getting your life together isn’t about becoming perfect; nobody can.
That’s why chasing perfection only ends in stress, disappointment, and despair.
Choose to be gracious to yourself. Prioritize consistency and incremental improvement. Even the small wins count, because in the end, they become the pillars that support your personal growth.
Let’s go back to the question that started it all: What does it mean to get your life together?
Getting your life together is a multi-faceted project, entailing spiritual alignment, mental and emotional health improvement, financial stability, and physical health.
Getting your life together is waking up every day with the motivation to do a little better than you did yesterday, and not give up until you achieve your goals and live the kind of life you desire to live.
Now is the perfect time to start taking steps towards a life reset. Start small; use planners and journals to stay consistent, whether for your finances, spiritual life, or physical health.
Use the Faith Journal, Personal Growth Planner, and other recommended planners to get your life on track starting today.
Say yes to getting your life together the faith-focused, practical way, and you’ll be glad you did!
