PUSH 12 Week Journal: Guided Journal For Building Momentum Towards Your Goals

This is the little journal you never knew you needed! I’ve purchased various journals (Clever Fox, Commit 30 etc) over the years that go unfilled by month X, when life happens, but “Push” reads like a super relatable coach is helping you to “chunk-ify” and action personal goals with a no frills, easy to follow 12 week product development framework— genius, yes and 3 months vs next New Year- hey, it works for Silicon Valley, right?? I love the weekly accountability and reflection components with actionable question prompts and practical tools to “push through” limiting beliefs and the costs of incompletion given your “Why”- all made perfectly clear in a self reflection exercise at the outset. Plus, it’s reiterative process informs continued momentum and/or necessary pivots beyond the 12 weeks, so it’s great for actioning big or small goals. Buy it!

Using a blend of "minimally viable" planning with iterations, an accountability board of advisors, and a tactic of decomposition into weekly sprints, Kimberly Nixon has created a journal with a vigorous and inspiring cadence.Whether it's starting a new business idea, writing that great book, or getting financially settled, sometimes just kicking off of the starting blocks is the hardest. It is for me. I'm just at the beginning of my 12-week plan, but already the outlining of the mantra, knowing my bounds, and weekly reflections have gotten me further than I have ever before. Knowing that I have to report to my board of advisors regularly keeps me on target and motivated.So if you are already adept at conjuring up your future visions into concrete weekly results with no sweat, nary a distraction, nor any simple human frailties like when I walk by the potato chip aisle and buy two "sharing size" bags (on sale!), then this book has no value to you. Stop reading this review and return to your twice-daily gluteus-toning regimen.If instead you're like me and just need to get started on your greatest plans, also stop reading this review, and just. buy. this. book.

As someone with a lot of goals and motivation, but little to no guidance or mentorship, this journal was an invaluable purchase. The author got to the point, told me what to do, and how to do it. The advice, wisdom, and direct information was exactly what I needed. While using this book, I was able to fill in how achieving my goal was progressing each week. Writing down exactly how it was going was a way to level with myself — to see in black and white exactly what I could be doing differently. My favorite part is the guidance on how to include your friends and family in your goal-setting, that way you have a strong group of allies who can help you and encourage you along the way.

Did 2020 leave you feeling like a year of goal setting was a set up when weekly it seemed you couldn’t predict anything?Then PUSH is the momentum building planner for you.I’ve often said that I can do anything for the time it takes to complete an internship. PUSH puts that belief into practice while still forcing me to keep in mind the BHAG for my life. Well written! Great format! Excited to see where I end up in 12 weeks time.

I’m absolutely loving this journal. One of the first lines is “this is not a gratitude journal” and the author is correct. This journal will push you to be honest about your why, keep your goal on your mind and weaved into every daily action. My weeks have changed dramatically since the use of this journal and I’m very satisfied with the results so far. Can’t hide behind my self created obstacles any longer. I’m getting the job done!

So I am a massive dreamer and someone who has always written out my goals and desires and I have seen much of them come true. However, as my goals have gotten more specific, I have needed new ways to reach them and address them in a real way and that is where the Push comes in. It provides dreamers like myself with a framework on how to approach goals both big and small and make them - truly - actionable. In some ways, I had a method that worked for me - but it took a long time and was very much out of my control. Wishing on the star - writing down a goal and hoping that eventually the world will turn in my favor. With the Push, I am now an active participant in attaining my goals and achieving my dreams.

I was finding myself getting stuck, not getting over the finish line with goals. Working toward accomplishments in 12 months was just too drawn out and when I found this gem it hit the spot. Already started in framing up my goal and this planner provides the tools, reflections and approach that makes it more specific to actually know what and why I am doing.
