Capture:
The first step to creating tangible results is to get everything out of your head and write it down. When I say everything, I mean everything, such as all your ideas, wants, needs, wishes, distractions, and communications. Keeping everything in your head is the recipe for stress. When tend to make things more significant than they are when it is all in our heads. Make a habit of capturing your thoughts immediately. Next, chunk all related items together into a clear outcome. Once you start collecting and chunking all the action items, you will see that it's not as impossible as you believed. However, this is the old unreliable never-ending to-do list. So how do you turn your to-do list into actual results?
Create:
Create RPM blocks instead of crossing random things off your to-do list. For each chunk of action items, define what you want the outcome to be. Ensure your result is specific, measurable, attainable, reachable, and time-bound. The more precise your outcome goal is, the easier the rest of the process becomes. Uncover the profound reason you must have this outcome. This purpose must be strong enough to keep you focused through the inevitable pitfalls and resistance to achieve your result. Defining your why is the step that most people skip, but it is the reason that makes people successful. Finally, continue your list with every action item that would help achieve the set outcome. It should be impossible to do everything on the list and not be successful. Estimate how long each activity would take and adjust your outcome timeline accordingly. The goal is to manage your expectations.
Commit:
At this point, you are probably eager to get started. Everything you have done will lead you to a high probability of success. Still, if you want the fastest and most efficient results, you must apply more accuracy and emotional juice. Go through your action list and prioritize the most critical actions based on the outcome. Order each activity based on how vital they are to the result. Next, apply leverage as much as possible to succeed better and faster. You do not have to complete all action items yourself; you could find someone to finish it better. Leverage is a skill you must be resourceful because money is not the only form of currency. Prioritize your list and apply leverage until your outcome is entirely inevitable. Remember, you do not have to complete every action on your list; the goal is the achieve the result.
Schedule It:
Now you are focused and energized; it's time to get started. Review everything you have planned and ensure you are committed to this outcome. It is time to start if you are committed to continuing down the rabbit hole until you achieve this outcome. You must schedule your action items with you are committed to completing them. Scheduling is not fun for most people, but you must do it. As you map out your schedule, it will change the duration of each action item and the outcome. Once you have decided the time and date of your action items, stick to them as if they are doctor's appointments.
Complete & Celebrate:
As you are completing action items, be sure to keep track of your progress. It is essential to know that you are going in the right direction. If you get off track of your outcome, complete steps 1 -4 again until you are back on track. Think of your action plan like a GPS. Before you start, you should know where you are going, where you are now, and the route you choose. You may need to reroute along the way, including turning around and taking a different path. Create a list of rewards at milestones once you achieve the outcome. Once you succeed, you will likely have another result to complete but take some time to celebrate your win. You are now a master at planning for success, and all you have to do is repeat the process for a life of successful outcomes.
