Write Your Life Plan 

In general we are used to a trend called ‘Over-thinking ‘. We over think at important situations because we lack clarity on the one thing we must focus on. There is too much information on the brain to process. The best way to make anything happen is to write them off and think about it only when needed. In other words, your journal or a blank paper has the ability to act as your second brain. It helps you prioritise what’s necessary at the moment and ensures that the other things you want to be on your to-do list is on record for a different schedule.

Your Brain Is A Processor, Not A Storage Device

Right from childhood, a question keeps following us at every stage of life. “What is your aim in life?” . Interestingly, for many of us, the answer keeps changing at each new phase. For some, the pressure increases when they realise they don’t know what their specific goal is.

Do not worry. You are not alone.

Factors like upbringing, conditioning, age and environment plays a pivotal role in determining a person’s view about goals.

You goals can be

<ul><li>fixed or an evolving. </li><li>short term or a long term. </li><li>a system or habits you practice everyday without a direction. </li><li>Sometimes, fantasies without an actionable plan. </li> </ul>

But how do successful people differ from the commoners when it comes to goals?

Success is a funny word. It’s true meaning does not depend on money or fame like most self-help gurus preach about. It’s Mastery and Value.

For, Einstein it was all about science. Mother Teresa’s was helping the needy. Warren Buffet’s is Finance. Michael Jackson’s was Music. For Marcus Aurelius and Epictectus, it was Stoic Philosophy. Buddha’s was peace.

The reality here is, no one focused on becoming rich or famous. They just chose to do what they loved every single day with utmost dedication.

“If you want to love what you do, abandon the passion mindset (“what can the world offer me?”) and instead adopt the craftsman mindset (“what can I offer the world?”).”

Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before.

Create your Life’s Holy Book – Your Second Brain

Sit down, relax and visualise what you want in life.

Call it a journal, a plan, a guide or whatever you want it to be. But just write it off. Because, your unwritten mind maps have a tendency to get jumbled up and been forgotten.

Your brain is not a storage device, but a processor

“You should be far more concerned with your current trajectory than with your current results.”

Thereby, you will be able to focus on the things that need your immediate attention to change the trajectory of the situation. This saves your time from distraction created through other secondary priorities in life.

Remember,

<ul><li>Everytime, you are able to put your thought into words, your brain visualises and communicates how you can turn them into actionable items. </li><li>The more enjoyable and achievable you decide these actions to be, try turning them into your habits. </li><li>Keeping a measure of your habits in the written or recorded form leads to consistency. Consistency is eventually the key to mastery. </li><li>So, it all starts just with a pen and paper. </li> </ul>

What truly matters is do you have the right questions

Sometimes we stumble in a situation because we do not have the right questions with us.

For an example, In a challenging situation,

You may ask,

“Why does this happen to me?”or “How can I use this situation for my benefit? “

The right questions decide your attitude and the direction of the situation simultaneously.

Based on Bob Proctor’s and Brian Tracy’s theory of goals, I’ve come up with a few questions that may help you achieve a clarity about your goals.

” What do you want to become in life?”.

Create a self image. Visualise how do you want to see yourself.

“How you will acheive what you want?”

Imagine your everyday. Plan a rough sketch of the phases of your journey in becoming the person you want to be.

“When you will work for it every day?”

Block a particular period of your convenient time. It can be five minutes, 1 hour, or 5 hours. But just decide to make it happen everyday.

“Why you can’t achieve what you want?”

Identify the blockers. You are going to face emotional, physical and external barriers. Spot them in advance and have a Plan B

“Who can help you?”

From honing your skill to helping you during mental blocks, have a list of people who can support you. Select the person who is already doing it. Listen to different speakers. Attend seminars. Join professional communities. Here, get obsessed with your idea and not to the people who practice it. Because, they think differently than you.

“Where you want to be in life?”.

There’s no definite end. Whenever you reach your target, upgrade your ‘where’.
