To Achieve Your Goals in 2022, Franklin Planner and Rose Bowl Bound, University of Utah, and Future NFL Hopeful, Britain Covey, Offer 3 Tips
Franklin Planner and Britain Covey Also Announce Partnership
SALT LAKE CITY & PASADENA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#2022Goals–As the Rose Bowl approaches, University of Utah Football standout and captain, Britain Covey, will finish a historic year, helping lead the Utes to the PAC-12 Championship and their first Rose Bowl appearance. The game with the Ohio State Buckeyes is set for 2 p.m. PT/3 p.m. MT on ESPN.
As a player, Covey has exceeded expectations for years and is on track to accomplishing his goals, which some have doubted he could achieve. He has Five All-Pac-12 selections, four as a returner (first-team in 2018, 2020, 2021), and Academic All American, the 2021 CBS Sports All-America first-team selection, the 2021 Phil Steele All-America, and the Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year, to name a few.
Covey is quick to give credit to his parents, family, his teams and coaches, and his grandfather, Stephen Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Franklin Planner (www.franklinplanner.com) and Covey also announced their partnership today to help individuals and organizations accomplish their goals and achieve their dreams through use of The Franklin Planner System.
Covey said, “I use the 7 Habits version of The Franklin Planner System every day! It helps me center myself, and as my grandpa, Stephen Covey, once said, ‘Schedule your priorities rather than prioritizing what’s on your schedule.’”
Covey has been selective about with whom he has chosen to partner, and Franklin Planner has a connection for Covey and the planner company for him. Covey will be a spokesperson, promoting The Franklin Planner System.
Bob Sumbot, Franklin Planner Chairman of the Board and CEO, said, “Britain Covey is a superstar in life, not just in football, and we are honored to partner with him to help individuals gain peace in achieving what matters most through the renowned Franklin Planner System. We wish Britain Covey and the University of Utah Football Team the very best in their Rose Bowl contest with Ohio State. Britain’s high character and example of planning and living a worthwhile life with dreams and goals make him the perfect example and partner for us.”
Now more than ever, people need the anchoring power of paper planning and journaling to avoid interruptions and find peace and focus for success. Research has proven that use of paper planning and journaling, together, has extraordinary benefits for the brain, as well as for personal joy, and effectiveness.
Sumbot said, “The act of writing down our goals on paper helps us achieve them. Writing increases memory retention, mental health, creativity and focus. And journaling brings power and confidence to our lives as ideas and feelings are captured, expressed, and worked through.”
Covey said, “My grandfather, Stephen Covey, had a profound impact on my life. He taught me to carefully think through and plan with the principles of his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Though he passed away in 2012 when I was 14, his legacy and teachings have been a foundation for the type of person that I am and who I want to become. I feel a great desire to honor the amazing legacy he left, and I miss him! And, with that in mind, I’d like to share 3 tips taken from the version of the 7 Habits Planner that will help you to accomplish your goals and dreams in 2022. Some of you may recognize them as the first 3 habits! My grandfather often taught in sequences, and I’ve found these 3 habits to be the foundation sequence for effective planning and living.”
Covey’s 3 Tips For Achieving Your Goals and Dreams in 2022:
- Be Proactive: rather than reactively waiting for life to happen to you, take the initiative to actually write down your goals and roles for 2022 in your Franklin Planner and revisit them often.
- Begin with the End in Mind: dream big, visualize in your mind where you want to be at the end of each day and week. I have found that I am able to combat any fear of the future through positive visualization. Through journaling, imagine, explore and write down your thinking and feelings about what it will feel like to accomplish your goals. Your vision or end goal becomes more tangible and real.
- Put First Things First: With Tip 1 and 2 in mind, schedule your highest priorities every day and weekly. This includes spending time with the people who matter most, as well as reviewing your overall roles and goals. Schedule your most important priorities into your planner and block out unimportant interruptions, increasing your ability to live a meaningful day and week.
Nearly 25 years ago, Covey’s grandfather partnered with Franklin Planner to further promote principles of leadership, time management, success, and happiness.
John Harding, Franklin Planner Board Member and Executive Vice President said, “Britain’s planning tips will help anyone who wants to achieve their goals and dreams in life, as there is something so powerful and grounding in putting pen to paper to plan, think and journal your life. And while phones and apps are vital for communicating and efficiency, they present a constant attack on the brain of endless interruptions, information overload, and energy drain. Yet, by combining the Franklin Planner System with these digital tools, people are finding that it’s the perfect personal success system for helping them to create their best life.”
