Episode notes
Use The Five-Year-Old Test
- Run each goal through the Five-Year-Old Test to ensure simplicity and clarity.
- If a child can't understand it, break it into a concrete, measurable action you can do daily.
Simplicity Powers Execution
- Simplicity creates clarity and clarity creates power in goal execution.
- Use that power at the start because getting started is what most people fail at.
Turn Vague Goals Into Daily Actions
- Replace vague goals like "get in shape" with specific daily actions such as "walk 20 minutes a day."
- Make goals tangible and measurable so execution becomes straightforward.
