Setting your navigation

You can't just tell your brain to get to work on a goal. There are some steps to take.

  • Believe it can happen. Aim for something small enough to take you in the right direction.
  • Identify a few actions you need to take. Make two lists: specific steps that need to happen, and repeated actions that need to be taken.
  • Set a timeline for your specific steps. Understanding what you need to accomplish this week helps your brain to keep you on track.
  • Designate a time to review and revise. Life will probably not follow the exact timeline or milestones you planned. Regular evaluation once a month will help you to readjust and try again.
