Choosing where you are going, turning it into this week’s action, and knowing when to keep going or let go.

By the end of this module

You will turn wishes into goals, choose fewer of them, handle goals that conflict, measure progress honestly and let a goal go on purpose when it no longer fits.

Lessons

• Goals vs wishes — A wish is something you would like. A goal has a reason, a first step and a time you will check in on it. (7 min)
• Choosing what not to pursue — Every yes to a goal is a no to something else. Choosing a few, on purpose, makes progress possible. (7 min)
• When goals pull against each other — Goals compete for the same hours. A simple hierarchy shows which one serves which. (8 min)
• Outcome goals and process goals — You can’t fully control the result. You can control what you do each week — and watch the signs that come first. (8 min)
• From a goal to this week’s action — Big goals are reached through small actions on ordinary days. Always know the next step and when you will take it. (7 min)
• Measuring progress honestly — Look at what actually happened, not what you hoped would happen — with checkpoints that fit real life. (7 min)
• Persistence or stubbornness? — Keeping going is sometimes the whole secret and sometimes the whole problem. How to tell which. (8 min)
• Letting a goal go — Sometimes a goal no longer fits your life or values. Letting it go on purpose, with a reason, is a decision. (7 min)
