Defining ideal outcomes for key life areas and setting yearly benchmarks helps track progress.

“if my life is successful over the next three years it used to be five now it's down to one but it's far enough out that I'm not thinking about what I did last year if I had an ideal life in the next three years how would I know it what would be happening and I would go from my personal relationships my family relationships my financial relationships um my health every key area of my life would have an indicator and that would be like my ideal outcomes and then I would kind of what I think think backwards well if I want to be you know uh my cholesterol at under 100 and I'm at 110 what would it be each six-month period so each one of them have benchmarks”
