How do you start doing something?

It might seem like a stupid question, but it can be challenging when you don’t know where to start.

You often know where you want to go but don’t know how to get there. Other times, you don’t even know your purpose. So you must go through some preparatory steps before you find your path. But with this 4-step life plan, you will find an answer and change your life by taking action.

Finding a purpose is the easiest task when hoping for something to happen. And if you do, your motivation gains the traction of the final goal . So you will start doing things with more ease.

But searching for purpose is challenging. Anybody could find useless goals that last for a few days. Yet only life-long purposes have the power to push you forwards . So you must dig deeper into your passions and willpower.

You must understand how far you want to go and how you plan to do it.

One difference between hoping and doing is that, in the second, you will work towards clear and defined goals .

When you don’t have anything to work for, you can’t track your success because you have no feedback on your success rate. So you may fall into many traps:

• you may think you still have time ,
• that you did enough for today ,
• or maybe your goals are unreachable .

But if you break your goals into simple actions and analyze your efficiency on each, you can work better and deal with your weak points. So while transforming your purpose, use the S.M.A.R.T. goals technique .

Hope is limited only by your imagination. But life doesn’t work like that.

You can’t work on anything your imagination produces. Otherwise, you will work on too many goals at once and fail at everything.

Milestones are a simple way to group and correlate a few tasks. So instead of splitting your attention, you will focus on a common goal.

• Using milestones, you group tasks with a common goal.
• Working with waves, you define a subset of objectives with the same deadline.
• And with focus points, you group activities with the same topic.

4 – Start doing.

And now that you focussed your attention on a few goals, you can work towards them.

Leave your life of hope behind, and start doing.

Leave your hopeless dreams and start building something real, one brick at a time.
