4. Tie it all together with a map

A map is an effective type of “plan of action” that helped me accelerate my Zero-to-Noob journey.

A map has four components:

• a starting point (where you are now)
• an end point (where you want to be)
• At least one immediate action to kickstart your journey. This can be finishing the first lesson in your curriculum, or completing Step #1 of your project.
• At least one checkpoint (intermediary goals/milestones). This can be finishing the Xth scope of your project, or achieving a desired level of consistency.
