Alter Planning Co. believes that structure and boundaries are necessary for the creative outlet. When using the APC planners, there are multiple layouts included that offer creative freedom, while also recognizing the need for structure to achieve goals. Each layout has been carefully curated to perform as the perfect planner for the creative. Using a planner should not feel like another task to complete, but rather an experience where all of your ideas have a home. Here are some descriptions of the ideal function and intention of each layout.
Vision Board
Vision boards are unique in the way that creatives can visually create and manifest their aspirations for the year. In the Annual from Alter Planning Co., the vision board layout is where you can create your vision for the next year and keep it close to you as you move through your year. Use photos, cut-outs, quotes, or whatever else helps to illustrate what you hope to bring in next year.
Yearly Goals
Writing down goals is extremely important to achieve them. While the Vision Board can help you to illustrate your goals, this layout is designed to put words to the vision. Goals for the year may seem overwhelming, but Alter Planning Co's yearly goal layout is designed to help you break down your goals by quarter, creating an easy roadmap to follow for the year.
Financial Goals
Although APC believes that Work is about fulfillment rather than just income, sometimes those goals take money to achieve and may yield money in the process as well. Using the financial goals layout is ideal for those who have goals for their creative business or need a place to keep track of their financial progress.
