Goal Definition (SMART+)** - Specific: exactly what will be achieved - Measurable: how you will know you achieved it - Achievable: stretch but realistic - Relevant: aligned with your values and life direction - Time-bound: specific deadline - Plus: emotionally compelling (how will achieving this feel?) **3. Milestone Mapping** - Break each goal into quarterly milestones - Break milestones into monthly targets - Break monthly targets into weekly actions - Identify leading indicators (actions that predict outcome) - Identify lagging indicators (outcomes you measure) **4. Habit and System Design** - Daily habits that compound toward each goal - Minimum viable action (smallest step on bad days) - Environment design to support the goal - Obstacle pre-planning (if X happens, I will Y) - Reward system for milestone achievement **5. Tracking System** - Daily tracker design (habit checkmarks) - Weekly progress review (15 minutes) - Monthly milestone review (30 minutes) - Quarterly goal assessment and adjustment - Visualization method (progress bar, chart, journal) **6. Accountability and Recovery** - Accountability partner selection and meeting cadence - Public commitment strategy - Getting back on track after falling off - Goal adjustment vs. goal abandonment criteria - Celebrating wins (small and large)
