Life can get crazy.
Especially when you start adding goals to your life and taking action toward achieving them.
But here’s one thing I know to be true: simply planning your daily tasks and taking action toward your OolaLife is often what will calm the craziness and make you feel more in control. It’s like a pattern interrupt. You’re taking charge of your future.
But don’t just stop with researching and planning. Now’s the time to ensure you do what’s necessary to go the remaining distance.
Start taking action today.
Grab a 3x5 card and write down three things that will get you closer to one of your major goals. That little card is one of the most powerful and life-changing tools available to you.
When I first read the book Oola: Finding Balance in an Unbalanced World for Women by authors Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl, I realized the power of this daily “3x5 Card Strategy” for getting things done and achieving goals that will change your life.
What would YOUR daily 3x5 card look like?
If you find it’s filled with tasks, errands and calls that don’t really move you closer to your biggest life goals, it’s time to reassess your priorities.
Only by prioritizing can you free up time and energy to be in serious action on goals that matter.
As a Certified Oola Life Coach, I help clients create a list of goals, then prioritize their tasks and—most importantly—stay accountable to accomplishing them week by week. In fact, I’ve joined forces with Dave and Troy to bring my followers the Oola formula via a Transform coaching experience designed to transform your life, your finances, your relationships and more.

“There’s always a way . . . if you’re committed.”
I love this quote from Tony Robbins, the bestselling author of Unlimited Power. It gives us hope for a bigger, brighter future. But it also comes with a warning: you gotta stay on task.
If you’ve been following my posts recently, you’ve already decided what you want in life . . . and you’ve researched the steps to get there.
Now, it’s time to “stay on task.” Here’s a strategy I love that I learned from The OolaGuys, Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl, founders of the worldwide Oola Coaching Network. The three of us are working together to bring my followers an effective path to the life you want—where you’re balanced, happy, and growing. We call it the OolaLife.
Grab a 3x5 card and divide it in half by drawing a vertical line down the center. List the things you have to accomplish for work on one half—and the things you have to accomplish at home on the other. Whether it’s finishing that sales report or running errands—whatever is important today—write it down.
If you want to start your own business, for instance—because you know you could earn more and have time freedom, too—could you write down: “Contact the local SCORE office to find a business startup mentor”?
If your dream life includes retiring early, could you write down: “Contact a financial planner for help calculating how much money I’ll need”?
Instead of being faced with a big scary task list, you can break down major tasks into smaller actions for your 3x5 card: a few every day until they’re complete.
As a Certified Oola Life Coach, I help clients create a set of goals, then prioritize their tasks and—most importantly—stay accountable to accomplishing them week by week. In fact, I’ve joined forces with Dave and Troy to bring my followers the Oola formula via a 10-week coaching experience designed to transform your life, your finances, your relationships and more.

Did you see my last post about choosing one breakthrough goal in 2021 – a goal that would uplevel every area of your life?
(If you did choose a goal, and you can reveal it publicly, drop it into the comment section and share it!)
Sometimes big goals, like your OolaOne goal, seem scary and unattainable. So the Oola Guys – Dr. Dave Braun and Dr. Troy Amdahl, authors of the book Oola: Find Balance in an Unbalanced World – recommend a handy tool that helps you take small steps toward your goal every day: the humble 3x5 card.
Every morning, grab a 3x5 card and divide it in half (by drawing a vertical line down the center). List the things you need to accomplish for work on one half—and the things you need to accomplish at home on the other. Whatever is important today, write it down.
When you’re finished writing, your list may surprise you.
If you find your card is filled with tasks, errands and calls that don’t really move you closer to your biggest life goal, it’s time to reassess your priorities.
For example, if your goal is to be 100% debt-free, could you do one thing every day toward eliminating your debt?
Instead of writing down “Order that necklace for Tanya’s birthday,” your 3x5 card might read: “List outstanding bills in a spreadsheet.” Instead of “Start new car shopping,” your card could read “Move $100 from checking account to auto loan.”
See what I mean? Once it’s written down, you can see what makes sense (or not), and write a different to-do list that gets you closer to your best life ever.
