The signature quarterly planning method revealed in this episode delivers big results without burnout by focusing on planning for your actual capacity, not just your calendar. Setting too many goals splits your time, energy, and focus, resulting in minimal progress that feels unsatisfying and creates a constant feeling of being behind.

• Set no more than three goals total for the quarter
• Plan around the time you actually have, not the time you wish you had
• Create a "future parking lot" to store ideas and goals for later quarters
• Break goals into monthly milestones and weekly action steps
• Assign specific calendar time for tasks - "a task with no time assigned is a wish, not a plan"
• Be realistic about your capacity to avoid dropping commitments or delivering subpar work
