Projects are in progress!
I finally integrated the LifeOS projects into my system this afternoon. That included moving what I had in my goals database to the projects database and linking parent and sub projects. (I archived the Goals database.) I still have a ways to go, but I have started defining what done looks like for the shorter term ones, and I'm definitely feeling a sense of relief. I don't think I realized how much of an open loop I was creating for myself by not documenting what done looks like - in essence I basically have been forcing myself to redefine a project every time I engage with it. I don't think it's necessary to have it from the beginning, but I think it's doable to make a rule for myself to require the done field as soon as I move the status to 'Active' if it isn't there already. Now to get through to Quarters before I start my quarterly/seasonal planning at the end of February...

That's awesome!๐Ÿ”ฅ I think migrating from goals to projects can be a bit of mental shift to begin with, but adding definitions of done on top can add that extra clarity for sure! And btw, do love this idea of maybe not being strict about adding a DoD right at the moment of creation (especially if brain dumping projects for example), but definitely having it when taking a project into work๐Ÿš€
Mastery Targets
What are the 3 'Mastery Targets' you track for the domains, that actually moved the needle for you this month? Here are mine: 1. Tidy up one room in the house each day 2. 20 minutes of release meditation 3. Movement/Workout/walks

To me there the top 3 would be: 1. Plan tomorrow today 2. Work shut-down 3. Creative before reactive These are also the ones that actually take some effort to maintain between all the ups and downs of life but are definitely worth it :)
Projects and Goals
I just finished watching the section on projects, and it really makes a lot of sense - especially given the hangups I usually have around long-term goals (and not usually planning that far out given how quickly things seem to shift for me.) The one question I have as result: are you essentially using top level projects instead of goals? Based on the diagram of the FMS universe, it looks like you just call "Effort" what most people would call both "Goals" or "Projects".

Glad that makes sense! Yeah, projects is definitely one of the ways to capture the idea of "goals". If you think of the effort pyramid, at the very base, we have our actions and sub-actions. And then, when we start building up, actions aggregate into projects that can be short-term, mid-term, long-term, and strategic. Of course, the higher up the effort hierarchy you go, the less tactical and more strategic the unit is. Projects are attached to time cycles from weeks to years, and once you go beyond the years, your "goals" become so high level that at that point I think it makes sense to start calling that a vision instead of a project. Ultimately, these are all different ways to help you with the planning phase. And simply depending on the time cycle, it might be appropriate to use projects, or if we're talking about planning your decades, it probably makes more sense to be talking about vision. I think I share your feelings about a typical way people set long-term goals, so in chapters and seasons I have a very different approach to those :)
FMS in Life OS.
So, as I understand it, in the context of Life OS, FMS stands for "Fundamental Mastery System." It's described as the foundation that models things like time, using cycles, effort through projects, actions, and routines, knowledge management, and domains. It's meant to be universal and flexible, growing and contracting with the user's needs. This is my short discriptor of FMS in the Life OS, and basically how I would describe it to others. My question is. Is this a good description to present to others when asked about FMS?

Love that description actually! Thinking of LifeOS as generic term for a system you use to run your life and FMS as the universal foundation for any such system (modeling those key 4 things) I think makes perfect sense. Possibly adding that 2 key concepts of FMS is that: 1. Modeling whole life as a hierarchy of time cycles from days to decades 2. Each cycle going through the same stages of plan โ†’ execute โ†’ track โ†’ review โ†’ reset and the FMS provides systems to assist in those stages :)
Happy New Year!!!๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ
Hey guys!! Hope you had an amazing year and are planning to have an even better 2026! It's time to flip this page of week, month, quarter, and year! It's hard to believe that at the beginning of 2025 I wasn't sure what to do next and my first focus item was: "Strategize my next move" haha๐Ÿ˜Œ So cool to now look back at the focus you wrote for the entire year and how you slowly but surely move to realize it quarter by quarter๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ’ช So excited for what's coming in 2026๐Ÿš€๐Ÿš€ Talk to you soon on our hangout!โค๏ธ
Happy New Year!!!๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ
