Action
So once you clear out time and cross out energy draining activities to make space for change, what steps do you take?
There are many programs and systems with different advice on this. Some similarities and themes emerge.
It’s been described as simple as ABC:
- Action oriented
- Bite-sized tasks
- Consistency
Action is the most important part. You have to actually DO SOMETHING. But it is also easy to pick too big a goal. Or not follow-up on plans. Or come up with a non-workable plan. Or not get specific with your goal (exactly What and When). Or fail to clear out space in your life to implement a plan.
In addition to ABC is it also important to have accountability and support. Many make of the mistake of thinking that one can be one’s own support and accountable to oneself. This usually results in deviating from the plan as soon as will-power begins to fade.
