The research shows that in order to achieve a desired outcome, individuals should reverse engineer the steps needed to reach that goal. This involves breaking down the big and small steps required to go from the current state to the desired outcome, without considering whether it is currently believed to be achievable. This process is known as 'chunking down', which involves identifying the actions, outcomes, and stakes necessary to progress towards the goal. It is emphasized that most people tend to focus on the steps and actions, but often overlook the importance of considering the stakes involved at each stage of the journey towards the desired outcome.
