I bet you're one of these two types of people:

The Lost Goal Setter

They are great at seeing where to go and getting their head out of the weeks... but sucks at breaking down the goal into actionable steps.

• You set a goal on Friday, a great goal. Its SMART even.

• Monday you walk into work excited and ready to go, but you sit down and then realize... (dramatic music)... you have no idea what to do today.

• So you do random tasks that popup. You have long term direction... but it doesn't provide you day-to-day direction. You're lost.

The Random Executor

They are great at seeing all the steps to complete a project, sucks at getting their head up and out of the weeds and looking further ahead.

• You try to set a goal on Friday, but you're way too busy

• Someone gives you an objective or a project, you can instantly see the steps needed to get it done.

• But you don't stop to ask yourself if you SHOULD do the project in the first place.

• So, you're just running around doing "random" projects & tasks.

Forced Focus

Each one of these types needs to periodically force themselves to focus on their weakness in order to let their strengths shine:

• The Lost Goal Setter needs to force themselves to:

  • Stop looking forward. Stop thinking about what could be, the dream or the vision.

  • Think about the specific (not vague) actionable steps they predict will help them achieve the goal, broken down monthly or even weekly.

• The Random Executor needs to force themselves to:

  • Stop working, Stop thinking about what they should be doing.

  • Go sit with NO INTERNET in a non-normal, non-distracting place (coffee shop, library, etc...) and think about where they are going.
