I love your tree! It's really pretty! I'm actually still on the fence about bootcamp. I've tested the process on a project and it was very helpful breaking it down, this is something I've always struggled with, but in that case I knew what I wanted to do and it was concrete enough to break down. My feeling from what I've seen is that this is more about the concrete aspects of business or things you want to do, rather than research and exploration. Like maybe if you're starting out and don't know what you're doing yet, and there's not a clear map, there may be weird surprises, legal or otherwise. I'm not sure if this is a good fit for that aspect. I'm in a very exploratory phase right now, so most of what I want to do is just figuring out what I can do, or figuring out low risk experiments to understand better how it works, and if it works for me.

I started watching this out of curiosity. Since I’m retired, I knew I wouldn’t need this system. However, you are such an amazing communicator that I WANTED to hear everything you had to say. Cindy, it is a delight to follow your channel. We are very different people, but I have the utmost respect for you and I LIKE you. You are on my prayer list for that perfect live donor to be found to make your life better.

I ended up here because of a very happy mistake of the algorhytm, and i can’t be more greatful! You get me at “all i want is to be alive”…. I pray God for that. I’m living with chronic pain for three years now and i feel so related with you! Thank you sooo much for your honesty, your kind heart and your resilience. By the way, I too follow heart beatings and i lobe Sarra. She’s a beautiful soul, just like you. New follower!

I’m binge watching after finding a random video. I rarely comment on anything. It is so very validating to have someone say that it’s hard to do all this “imagine you life in XXX days”, “what would it look like if..”, when your prognosis is uncertain. I never even really considered it in detail, I would just get angry at whatever prompt it was and get very disillusioned, usually chucking an expensive goal journal in the process. It’s a big reason why I’ve allowed myself to be so chaotic as an adult, really only facing what I was avoiding since the summer, building slowly. This was so important for me to hear in this moment. Thank you. So much.

I am a teacher and I use her HP90 planner and system during the summer. It helps me nail down exactly how to use my time to catch up on all the things I neglect during the school year ( basically everything). I love setting up projects for the 3rd Quarter: home, kids, professional development, myself). The system helps me to be extremely intentional and focused to get sh!t done during that 2 month window!

I convinced a bunch of my writer friends to join me for Q1's HB90, so I'm really looking forward to helping them through it. Taking HB90 changed things for me. Powersheets was a good start, but like you, it didn't scratch that professional itch as much. I'm glad HB90 is working for you!

Just signed up with your link! I got into Powersheets in 2020 because of you, but I could not really make it work for me past the first 2 months. Like you I need some structure, I tried the HB90 pdf last month after watching your videos. Looking at time realistically is not something I have seen in any other goal setting planner. I was able to finish a goal I've had since I've been waiting for the bootcamp to open up, but needed your review to help me decide to spend the money. Thank you for your honest, fun and relatable reviews!

I've been using the HB90 method since Q2 2020 and I STILL overestimate the stuff that I can get done in a quarter! But now, at least I am way better at being okay with not finishing everything than I was in the beginning, and I think that's enough.

I love using this planner. I have the undated version, so it’s a little more work filling in the dates, but that’s fine by me if I can keep using it! Its great for planning writing goals…I usually participate in nanowrimo, but since I had my son in August, writing is on the back burner. I adapted it a little to fit my needs, and it still works well for long-term projects (such as decluttering your home, content planning, etc.).

I did it with you in September as well and loved it. Am doing it again this month. I am a writer but I also see how others, especially creatives, would benefit highly from it. So helps me keep out of overwhelm.

Excellent practical and honest review. Thank you! Love the information about follow-through and actually making reflection and review an actual task. I purchased the Q4 planner and worked through it on my own just to get an idea of how it would work, just like you suggested. I found that I liked it, even though I didn't buy the planner early enough to fully use it these past couple of months, so I went ahead and signed up for the boot camp. I'm looking forward to it.

I have never heard of this system til now. I have been trying (and failing) to kickstart my creative projects for the past 2 years. Might go for the goals sheets instead of the planner since I already have one set for next year. I'm curious to see if it helps. Though if I do try the boot camp it will have to be in quarter 2. Can't really work it in my budget with the holidays. Love your reviews. Don't know why but yours always feel more honest then some others. Not saying other channels reviews aren't being honest, but some do feel more like a sales pitch than a review. Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you for this. I’m a writer and have heard about the HB90 system from friends who said “it’s great!”, but your review’s detail is what I was looking for.

Thank you so much for this video! It's so hard to find a thorough review of the planner and the bootcamp. It really gave me hope to be able to adapt the planner for myself (I'm a teacher) and I think that the new task blocks are the key. Thank you again!

you forgot your affiliate link

I found Sarra Cannon and HB90 a few years ago when I was trying to decide what to be when I grow up and thought about writing. I’m now self-employed in another type of business but this goal planning system is really helpful in figuring out goals and how much you can realistically get done each quarter. I started with the planner and then took the boot camp Q4 2020 and have been returning as an alumni each quarter since. I am traveling Sunday so I won’t be able to attend the kickoff. Have fun!!

Awesome Review! I am one of her first students when she did the class only 3 days back in 2018, I have been doing it every quarter since. I love that I get to see how the course has changed and grown. I agree I love her way of creating goals even though they don't have an easily measurable way besides feelings. I am not a writer but would love to be one. It is on my list of careers to have in my life. You are right that this method can help those who are self-employed and creative of some sort. Thank you for sharing this and love your videos!

Just signed up for boot camp! So excited. Thanks for posting the link. I’ve been quietly following you and Sara for the last couple of years. I’m self employed. Not a writer but thinking of doing some creative type work in the future… maybe

Signed up with your link. Thanks for a thorough and helpfully approachable assessment of it. Perfect human!

Thank you for sharing Cindy, very informative.

19:07 had me in a giggle fit. Lol.. oh boy. I've felt the same about Powersheets. Thank you for the review, this has given me a bit to think about for 2022. Ps, thank you also for sharing your perspectives on trying to plan for how we want to feel in the present and near future rather than grand visions far off.... I hope you get the transplant and care you need so you don't have to feel that stress all the time. You are an inspiration 💗

Hi Cindy, I love your channel! Your honesty is so refreshing!! I just signed up for HB90. I used Makselife in 2020 but did not in 2021 and wish I had. I am incorporating both HB90 and flagship Makselife for goal setting and achieving goals for this year. I am a Realtor in Albany, NY and think this would be great for my new goals for 2022. Keep the great content coming!! See you Sunday on launch of HB90 live.

Snagged it with your affiliate link. I love being able to spread the support around like that. Thanks for the review! It was super helpful and really took me from fence sitter to sold on the bootcamp.

Enjoying your content and tune in often to see what you’re up to. I bought the 2022 annual goal version of the HP90 on your recommendation. Thank you for the review. I think this will be the missing link I’ve been looking for to get my goals moving forward. I’m using this in GoodNotes and am loving 🥰 it. It was fabulous to have the ability to use these two tools for organizing and prioritizing the brain dump.

I didn’t remember that you had tendinitis. Because of the pain I’ve had lately with writing (due to frozen shoulder), I’m going with a digital system next year so I can do more input via voice recognition (typing also aggravates my arm). Right now it looks like I will be going with Nirvana for my task manager and will incorporate my goals into that. I have been reading up lately about ergonomic pens and the best kinds of pens to reduce pain with writing. I’d be interested in a video about what you’ve found helps if you haven’t already made a video like that which I just missed.

I'm so glad the system worked for you! I now Sarra will totally appreciate your honest review. :) See you on the kick-off call on Sunday :D

I've used the quarterly planner and really liked it. I've adapted the method in other planners specifically the Inamio. I'm thinking of doing the BootCamp that is coming up in about a week. I am a writer so I know it won't be wasted on me.

Thanks for this! I'm going for the goals thanks to your video. Might do the bootcamp at a later date.

I started with tbe planner and I was hooked! I did the boot camp in June, continued with the system and I am so excited for the new bootcamp! Gorgeous tree :)

I have been really considering using this system. I love her Heart Breathings channel. I run a business and have to keep multiple projects going on all the time, and am completely self directed. I'm not sure I'm ready for the full on HB90 yet, not this quarter anyway, but I'm going to try a kanban board for sure. I am also an artist so maybe having a visual representation of a project would help me stay on track better. Thanks!

Thank You for this review! I am so looking forward to doing this boot camp now also using your affiliate link because why not!

I should do the bootcamp, I have the planner for this quarter, and it's been helpful. Good review!

I feel like this could be super helpful for those who homeschool. 🤔🤔 I was going to try the kan ban board thing this fall but my husband unexpectedly was offered a transfer opportunity to Northern Colorado in August so we’re living in two states right now which is both exciting and exhausting. All my plans pretty much went to hell. Ha!

I have been wanting to do this (or at least the Kanban) for some time now, but I just need to make time in my day for it 😆 🤣

I've been tossing up about doing the bootcamp the last 2 years, I keep wanting to, though something 'gets in the way'. This year coming up is all about goal setting and moving to those goals and how to work them into my daily life, so that tasks are easily accomplished; so perhaps now is the time; or at least in the next cycle it is. I'll go check out the planner and work from there; thanks for this amazing review. I don't write - this will be for personal goals & challenge 'mountains', but it certainly sounds like it's what I want :)

I took the boot camp and used the system for the first time this past quarter as well. Agree 100% with everything you said in this video! I didn't do the kanban board last time though. . . I wrote all my tasks on the project planning pages instead. Debating about a kanban alternative this time around.

I don't know if I have missed such a video, but it would be nice to see how you do budget planning, in case you do it.

I'm not sure I understand about 'time gating." Does that mean you have to engage with and complete all the steps in the boot camp within one week? Due to health issues, I prefer things that I can do at my own pace in case I'm having a bad day / week / month.

Thank you for the in-depth review. I find post it notes very motivating 🤣 I'll probably check out the planner and skip the boot camp for now.

Well, you definitely encouraged me to do the boot camp again this quarter. So, I'll probably see you on the KZfaq call, if I can find the link :-)

Hi Cindy. I’ve been following Sarra for years. I love my kanban board. I’ve decided to finally spend money on the HB90. I will be under my author name - Angela Drake. I’m not a FB fan either so look forward to seeing you on KZfaq. Creative Blessings!

Loving your Xmas tree ❤️

❤ thank you ❤

I don't really set year long goals. I just work on mini ones every month.

This review was super helpful, Cindy, and I'm only about halfway through! I was on the fence about a bootcamp like this because it's a huge chunk of money for me, but for someone as experienced as you in systems and structures to have felt like this was so impactful makes me feel like it could be exactly what I needed. Plus, I love you and Sara so supporting you both is a bonus! Do you feel like it's as helpful for someone who isn't doing a kanban board? I feel like I honestly don't have enough going on in life to need that level of organization because I'm not self-employed and have no kids, so it's mostly just small personal projects in life, tasks, and money goals lol

can you do a review of the Spaces Planner ? I think its a really cool layout but hard to figure out how to use it...

I would love to use your affiliate link, but I can't find it. I really appreciate your review. I think this system will be a good fit for me.

Thank you for your review. I have followed her for a long time, like you I am not a writer and wasn’t sure this would work for me. Question as I am so not into woo woo touchy feels stuff. Do you feel you can still get value from the course if you skip that part?

Awesome video! Really sold me on this system. 🤣

Great review and Facebook ( meta) was never anybody's friend.

Anyone know if the boot camp free? I can’t tell and clocked the link after it closed this quarter. I really want to know more about the khanban system. Sorry if I spelled that wrong

I'm so glad you found it useful. I have been utilizing this system on and off for a few years. I need to be better at weekly/monthly check-ins. I was in transition this past year but plan to go through the BootCamp again. Unfortunately I have to work Sunday when the live call is going on. :-( I hope to set goals around my writing & coaching side biz launching in January.

Cindy, can you use this system for personal projects do you think (ex. decluttering, home repairs, etc)? I plan on taking Publish and Thrive in Feb and doing HB90 too, but I just wonder if it can also be used for personal projects.

Every time I see your beautiful face I actually can't stop smiling. You are absolutely wonderful! (great no b/s planning conversation too which is just yummy)

This was really useful and has me interested enough to give the digital planner a try. I've been struggling with a long writing project and it occurred to me during your video that I might be able to turn it into a "FINISH the !@#$%^& thing!" project instead of a "write the *(_+=- thing" project. That is, I'd be starting t the 75% point rather than the 0% point. Would you agree, based on what you've seen? (Anyody else with experience in this system feel free to chime in.) Thanks, Cindy!

I have a lot of trouble imagining my ideal life. I really don't know what I want it to look like which is why I gravitate to goal-setting tools.... and then they ask me to visualise my ideal life 😂 like IDEALLY I'd be some kind of rich magical immortal with a pet dragon but that doesn't help me set goals!

hei... what are you planing to use for your personal goals? ... I am sitill wondering on booth camp. I am curently using Makse life... but I am a writer, so... was wondering is it worth taking this booth camp only bc of it? and ... how do the sistems compare with Makse Life, if at all??

First
