Enriching Lives through Online Training

(resource: Simple Steps to Impossible Dreams, by Steven K. Scott)

For each area of your life, you have dreams. Starting with the most important --

1. On a separate sheet for each dream, titled “Dream to Goals,” list all the goals necessary to accomplish that particular dream.

2. On a separate sheet for each goal, titled “Goal to Steps,” list all the steps necessary to accomplish that particular goal.

3. On a separate sheet for each step, titled “Step to Tasks,” list all the tasks necessary to accomplish that particular step, afterwards adding a target completion date by each.

4. Circle each task for which you need additional know-how, resources, ability, etc.

5. For those circled, list the people/ resources/ etc. whose help you need.

This procedure of converting our dreams into “bite-size” tasks allows us to see what we can do TODAY, and the upcoming weeks, to bring them into realization! This is all it takes to give us that incentive/ motivation to ACT (today … right now)!
