The Goal Forecast: Week of October 19
The Goal Forecast, Issue No. 07. For reflection, not prediction.
Late October has a settled feeling to it, which makes this a good week to work with what you already have rather than reaching for something new. Eight small nudges below, one for each Goal Seeker.
Eight cards. Turn yours, then turn the others.
Turn the card
No. 01 The Trailblazer
Say where you are headed out loud, in one sentence. If it takes longer than that, you may be running on momentum rather than direction.
Turn the card
No. 02 The Navigator
Hand one thing on this week's list to someone else, or let it go. You do not have to be the one carrying all of it.
Turn the card
No. 03 The Cartographer
Write the first step on a single line, with nothing underneath it. A step with no sub-steps is one you can take today.
Turn the card
No. 04 The Homebody
Tell one person at home what you are hoping to start. Things said out loud at the kitchen table tend to get made room for.
Turn the card
No. 05 The Adventurer
Describe what finished looks like for the one thing you are carrying, in a sentence. A finish line you can picture is easier to walk toward than a new road.
Turn the card
No. 06 The Collector
Use the system you already have this week, exactly as it is. Nothing needs improving until it has had one plain ordinary week to prove itself.
Turn the card
No. 07 The Lighthouse Keeper
Put the decision on the calendar, then tell someone it is there. A date another person knows about is harder to quietly move.
Turn the card
No. 08 The Stargazer
Find the piece of the dream that is already somewhere in your week, and do a little more of it. Direction often begins with something you are already doing.
Not sure which one is you? Take the quiz. Twenty-four questions, about five minutes, and a keepsake card at the end.
