Your health and energy. Exercise, food and sleep are what everything else runs on.

Fitness, focus, fraternity and finance. When one of them slips, the others usually follow, and most high performers are pouring everything into one while the other three wait.
Your health and energy. Exercise, food and sleep are what everything else runs on.
Time to think. Quiet time, reading, reflection or prayer, and less time on your phone.
The people in your life, and whether you have a few who will tell you the truth.
What you earn, and whether it is paying for the life you want.
List up to three things in each column. What lights you up is usually where your best work is.
Drains you: the tasks you dread
Neutral: it gets done, that’s all
Lights you up: time flies
Choose the three values that best describe who you want to be. They become the filter for the decisions that matter.
Describe where you are today in each area, not where you want to be or where you used to be. Honest is more useful than polished.
Twelve months from now, what does good look like in each area? Write it as if it is already true, and don’t edit yourself yet.
Give yourself credit. In each area, which habits, routines or relationships are already holding?
The harder one. In each area, what is quietly holding you back, the thing you have been hoping would fix itself? Naming it is the first step to fixing it.
Write one 12-month goal for each area, the first one that comes to mind. This is your starting goal, and we stretch it next.
Don’t think about how yet. Just ask what each goal would look like if it were twice as big. Most people shrink their goals to fit the plan they already have. This is your adventurous goal: exciting, and a little uncomfortable.
This is your reach goal. The one that makes you uncomfortable, and is often the closest to what you really want. Aim at it, break it into 90-day steps, and you usually end up well past the goal you started with.
Your goals set the destination. This is the rhythm my clients use to get there, every day, every week and every month, in The Cave™.
State: "I am grateful for..." ·
Purpose: "My purpose is..." ·
Action: "Today, no matter what, I will..."
Three sentences before the day starts, so you stay on course whatever the calendar throws at you.
Hurdles: what slowed you down? ·
Ahas: what did you learn? ·
Fixes: what did you do about it?
Then set goals for the week ahead, so small problems get fixed before they grow.
Mindset (personal & professional) ·
Ability (skills, tools, support) ·
Performance (execution & outcomes)
The monthly MAP looks back at how the month went. Milestones look forward: each next step toward your reach goal gets its own due date.
