Yes — if you separate the goals clearly
You can use SATS for two goals at once, but combining goals is only useful when the practice still tells you what to do. SATS is built around using a short imaginal scene while physically relaxed or drowsy, traditionally associated with a “state akin to sleep”. If two goals are packed into the same session without structure, the result can become vague and difficult to review. A cleaner approach is to give each goal its own short pass or deliberately choose one shared behaviour that genuinely serves both.
Decide whether the goals actually belong together
Start by asking whether the goals compete for the same time, money or attention. Two compatible goals might be improving fitness and sleeping more consistently; the same evening routine could support both. A promotion goal and a plan to reduce working hours may need separate decisions because progress on one could make the other harder. SATS does not solve that conflict for you. Seeing the trade-off is part of the exercise.
Keep the mechanics separate
For SATS, the working process is to choose one simple scene, keep it short, rehearse it once or a few times, then let the session end naturally and protect normal sleep. Run that sequence for goal A, stop, then run it for goal B. This gives you two records you can compare instead of one blended entry. The separation also makes it easier to notice when one goal is receiving all the real action while the other survives only as a repeated intention.
A concrete example
Imagine your first goal is briefly imagining closing a laptop after finishing a project, then allowing the scene to end rather than extending it into a full fantasy, while your second goal is improving a different part of life such as organising household finances. Use the method once for the first goal and once for the second. At the end, each should produce a distinct next step. If both entries finish with the same vague instruction—“stay positive” or “trust the process”—the practice has not yet done enough planning work.
Use P3367 as two separate records
Open P3367 and make one entry per goal. Label them clearly and give each an independent review date. Avoid creating a single giant entry with several outcomes mixed together. When you review, ask which goal changed your behaviour, which needs different resources and whether either goal should be paused. The tool is useful when it preserves decisions, not when it simply stores more wishes.
Watch for the method-specific failure mode
With SATS, the main risk is chasing the perfect drowsy state, replaying the scene for long periods, or interpreting sleep difficulty as evidence that the technique failed. Two goals can amplify that problem because there are now twice as many opportunities to monitor, repeat or correct the practice. SATS should not replace sleep, medical care, practical planning or consent. A vivid scene is not proof that an external outcome is secured. A reasonable limit is one short session per goal and no extra round merely because one outcome feels more urgent.
Prioritise when the goals compete
When two SATS goals compete for the same time, money or attention, choose a temporary priority and record why. Parking the second goal for a week is not giving up; it is resource allocation. Review the parked goal later instead of trying to give both equal practice time regardless of real constraints.
Review evidence separately
At the review point, write what changed for each goal: actions completed, information learned, obstacles discovered and decisions made. Do not count coincidences as progress if nothing else moved. The scene is most usable when it is simple enough to remember without effort; complexity tends to turn a short rehearsal into prolonged mental work. The question is whether the method helped you manage two real priorities without turning them into one blurred story.
Use separate scenes rather than a crowded montage
SATS is easier to remember when the imaginal scene is short. If you have two goals, give them separate scenes or alternate sessions. One scene might be closing a course portal after completing a module; another might be checking a savings milestone. Combining both into a long dreamlike sequence makes it harder to know what you are rehearsing and easier to spend too long awake.
Sleep should remain the priority. If two scenes lengthen bedtime, choose one goal for the evening and handle the other through daytime planning.
Bottom line
Yes, SATS can be used for two goals at once. Keep the goals distinct, give each its own action and review point, and prioritise when they compete. The method should make two goals easier to manage, not double the amount of ritual you feel obliged to perform.
