To Add, Subtract
Look at everything you do from big projects to small tasks and remove anything that doesn't add value. Outsource projects or drop them altogether. Unsubscribe from email newsletters.

How to write a personal mission statement ~ Get Rich Slowly
Life is best lived with purpose
Life is best lived with drive and clarity. Our goals provide us with a navigating compass, helping us decide where to put our precious resources like time and money.
Shaping Your Life Plan
Having a life plan makes one get past the distractions and focus on what matters.Set aside an hour to do this planning exercise:
- List 1: Jot down your lifetime goals, listing everything that comes to your mind.
- List 2: Ask yourself ‘How would I want to spend the next five years?’ and note down the unbiased non-judgemental answer that comes in your mind.
- List 3: Ask yourself ‘If I was to die in six months, how would I spend the time I have?’
- List 4: Finally, list your most important goals, finding the common goals and aspirations from the previous three lists.
Drafting A Mission Statement
Looking through the most important goals, find the common thread and draft a plan of action for your life, a compelling Mission Statement, taking as much time as you want. Let it sit there for a few days and do not think about it.
Review the statement after a few days, see if it carries the magic that can be a guiding torch of your life, making any changes if required.

How To Go From Dreaming To Doing: 4 Steps To Motivation - Barking Up The Wrong Tree
Go from Dreamer to Do-er
Use the WOOP strategy for achieving goals:
- Wish: What do you dream of achieving in the future?
- Outcome: What form will that result take?
Wish (But Don’t Stop There)
Everything starts with a wish. But don't transform that into fantasy.
When you fantasize, your brain thinks you’ve actually achieved your goal. So rather than ramping up, motivation dials back.
See A Specific Outcome
Be specific about the form your wish should take.
For example: If a "better work-life balance" is your wish, your outcome could be “No work on weekends."
