Welcome to Mission Board 101, our quick and easy guide to using Mission Boards in the inkWELL Press planning system.
1.
How do I use Mission Boards?
- Go to the Goals page at the front of your planner
- Brain-dump your goals for each category listed
- Go to Quarterly Goals on the next page
- Create action steps for each goal in three-month sections
- Apply these action steps to the appropriate box in the Mission Board for the month.
Pro Tip:
When moving goals or action steps from
the Goals/Quarterly Goals page to a
Mission Board, work one month at a time.

What if I want to use the Mission Boards and NOT the Goals/Quarterly Goals pages?
