Make it actionable through clarity(DW #829)
Oct 29, 2020
When setting goals for self-development, it is important to make them action oriented.
For example: "take a 5 minute time out when you notice your head beginning to throb" is clear and actionable as opposed to "try to be calm".
This is what Ben Franklin also did in his journals. For example, instead of just setting the goal of achieving "sincerity," Franklin further defined it with a sentence — "Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly".
Think of something you are working on right now. Is it clear? Will you be able to tell if you have achieved it on any given day?
