Start With Your Current State
- Identify 4–10 life categories and rate each 1–10 to see your current state clearly.
- Ask what would need to be true to make each category a 10 and use that to prioritize focus.

- Project yourself to year-end and list what would make the year a 10 and what would make it a failure.
- Use those lists as a filter to choose meaningful, motivating goals rather than arbitrary targets.
