Episode notes
Structured Goal Framework
- Set one to three measurable big goals for both professional and personal categories.
- Add 1-2 checkpoint goals, 1-3 daily systems, and 1-2 anti-goals under each big goal to create clarity and guardrails.
Summit, Campsites, And Feet
- Big goals act as the summit while checkpoint goals are mid-climb campsites you must hit.
- Daily systems are your feet that generate compounding forward progress toward those checkpoints.
Choose Simple Daily Systems
- Define two to three simple daily systems for each checkpoint goal that create steady, compounding progress.
- Focus on the simplest actions that reliably move you forward rather than extreme daily targets.
