Start the journey to your goals in just 30min.
If you get asked the question "How would you eat an elephant" we would all say "1 bite at a time".
The same is true for the goals and dreams you have but in many cases the steps will be more complex.
If you know what your desired end state is, you are able to create a path towards that goal. You can do this in just 30 minutes.
These are the steps:
Get sticky notes + a marker
Write down your goal and place that sticky on the right side of your wall/whiteboard.
Now we'll start to reverse engineering the steps that have to happen before your end goal.
You can do this by asking yourself or your team "What would we have to do before this can succeed?"Write that step on a sticky note and place it left from the earlier sticky.
Now ask the exact same question for your last written sticky.
Continue until you have clear path containing detailed steps - on which you can start tomorrow.
If we would go back to our elephant example, we would see here that things can be more complex than just “one bite at a time”.
Disclaimer: I do not advice eating elephants + this is a shortened example for educational purposes only :-)
Creating the path goes from right to left.
Executing the path goes from left to right.
