The most important bit...
I was playing with ideas in my journal this morning, and I realised that when I compare the goals I have achieved with the ones that I have missed, there is one big difference - for the successful ones I built a plan that I could execute and/or rules I could follow, and for the others I tried to shortcut straight to action, and ultimately failed.
So it’s back to the drawing board with my biggest goals, so that I can put in the time and effort needed to create a proper plan to achieve them, whilst taking comfort from the realisation that it wasn’t that the destination that was wrong, it was the way I was trying to get there that was flawed….
