Overview

What, Why, And How

What do I want? Answer this question with both a long term goal, and a short term 30 day challenge that will move you towards that goal. Use specific goals that are either clearly accomplished or not. Focus on behaviors as much or more than actual outcomes. Goals should be challenging and stretch your comfort zone without breaking it or being too stressful.

Why do I want it? Answer this question with both the long term and short term painful consequences of failing to reach a goal as well as the long and short term benefits of successfully reaching the goal.

How will I get it? Figure out only what you need to take the next best step without getting overwhelmed with information overload. Get an accountability partner or coach. Set up a systems of positive punishments and rewards.
