"We all have goals that languish on our mental should-do list. Goals we're either taking no action or painfully slow action on. Common examples: Home projects or de-cluttering Health-related goals, like incorporating more strength-training Systems related goals, like becoming more organized at home or work Learning a new tool or technology, like AI Here are 5 tips to make quick progress on any should-do."
"To give a real-world example: In week one, I ordered at-home testing supplies. In week two I started using them. In week three I got a blood test and emailed some leading researchers. In week four I did a urine test (after picking up the cup at the blood draw) and read a 14-page document one of the researchers sent. By the end, I had an annual plan to follow."
Goals often sit on a mental should-do list with little or painfully slow progress. Selecting one or two practical strategies tailored to the type of stuckness enables quick progress. One strategy is to implement a promising idea now to remove it from the mind and learn quickly whether it works. Another strategy is to reserve a consistent weekly execution slot for several weeks, planning execution in advance rather than deciding during the slot. Repeated small actions accumulate into concrete results, as shown by sequential weekly tasks that produced a yearlong health plan. Action changes what becomes possible and reveals dormant strengths.
