<\/a>an exercise to help you perform a self assessment.<\/strong><\/p>\n by bill reeb<\/i><\/p>\n everything in my posts is designed to help you become more aware of yourself, more aware of how you both propel and sabotage your own desires and efforts, and how to better harness the power of momentum into progress.<\/p>\n more: <\/b>aligning what we think with what we do<\/a> | don\u2019t be

determine you are feeling unsuccessful or unhappy about your progress or priorities, you can call upon the process and its techniques at a high level allowing you to alter your desires, plans, tactics, priorities, the way you work and the way you are thinking to quickly resolve your dissatisfaction and find the success and happiness you are attempting to achieve.<\/p>\n but as you work through this process, keep this in mind: regarding some objectives, you will begin to see a pattern of the same issue coming up over and over again in different settings creating dissatisfaction. while a technique might dissolve the frustration in the short term, when you find yourself getting stuck on the same issue repetitively, it is most likely because you have been unwilling to let go of something you think you know.<\/p>\n as you know by now, i believe that the core of whatever dissatisfaction you are struggling with is centered in desire. once you have identified what you want and have created a plan with tactics, realistic timeframes and reasonable expectations, it\u2019s time to go to work. you imagine it, take the incremental steps, put in the effort and then you achieve your objective. much of the time, this is all there is to it. but because many overachiever objectives are complex or ambitious, the process focuses in on the evaluation step because we are notorious for constantly assessing our progress.<\/p>\n as long as we are happy or feeling successful about our progress or priorities, we are good about keeping our heads down and continuing to do good work. however, problems arise anytime we start feeling dissatisfied with where we are. therefore, it is important to watch for and be ready to respond to the early warning signals as they occur, like loss of momentum, diminishing returns or functional disconnect.<\/p>\n by quickly reacting to these signals, you can avoid the negative path of getting stuck by figuring out what to let go of and utilizing the action steps of replanning, reprioritizing and reaffirming to maintain constant momentum toward your goal. and if you want to even further protect yourself from getting stuck, set up routine self-diagnostics at certain designated intervals within an objective to take a close look at how your plan, work and progress are syncing up. doing this preventive maintenance procedure of replanning, reprioritizing or reaffirming before any early warning signals are fired allows you to less emotionally make the necessary alterations to stave off dissatisfaction and sustain your momentum.<\/p>\n once the early warning signals start firing, they will get louder and brighter until they eventually create enough pain (dissatisfaction and frustration regarding your perceived success or happiness) for you to respond to them. at this point, you have two paths to follow to get you back on course. it is time to consider \u201cwhat you are<\/strong> thinking\u201d and \u201cwhat you are<\/strong> doing.\u201d by embracing a technique or two from these stages, which are designed to help you determine what to let go of that you think you know, you will find yourself either consciously or subconsciously replanning, reprioritizing or reaffirming in order to regain your momentum.<\/p>\n if your solution is to replan, then you join back into the flow at the desired step to rethink or fine-tune what you want as well as your plan to get there. if reprioritizing or reaffirming is the answer, your updated perspective allows you to jump right back into the try (work)-evaluation loop making progress again.<\/p>\n but as i stated in the discussion of desire, it is critical to understand that when you pinpoint something you want to achieve, unless getting stuck is<\/strong> your objective, you need to embrace the idea that as you move toward your goal, you can expect and should be open to replanning, reprioritizing or reaffirming your desire as part of your normal process to achieve. the moment your plan is static and unchangeable, the second you take on a rigid approach to doing the work, the instant you lock in your current priorities, you will have started down a path to getting stuck.<\/p>\n based on the fact that you decided to read this, and because you have reached this point, i thought it might be helpful to incorporate a summary exercise for you to work through. by thinking through the sections of the exercise, you will get a detailed look at how the process works and how you can work the process. this exercise is not meant to frustrate or deter you from any goal you want to achieve. and if you start feeling that way as you work through it, you might be experiencing an early warning signal to getting stuck. if this is the case, just consider \u201cwhat you are<\/strong> thinking\u201d and \u201cwhat you are<\/strong> doing\u201d to see if that triggers an idea that you should let go of. this should help you return to the exercise to continue working through it.<\/p>\n my exercise starts off by asking you to identify the top five goals you want to accomplish (desires) over the next three years. because the most common frustration point i experience working with overachievers is either an unrealistic timeframe or unreasonable expectations, i devised this exercise to provide you with some additional perspective.<\/p>\n by the way, i regularly use a variation of this format in strategic planning with my clients not only to ensure that their strategies, resources and expectations are in alignment\u00a0but to verify that their available resources are ample enough to achieve their strategies and expectations. when a disconnect is identified between these three, the action to resolve is always the same: replan, reprioritize or reaffirm.<\/p>\n what are the desires (up to five plans or objectives) you want to accomplish in the next three years?<\/p>\n 1.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 5.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n for each desire identified, jot down some high-level plans and plan tactics. as well, for each plan tactic, consider the timeframe (how many hours you believe each tactic will require). by the way, consider doubling whatever hours come to mind because it is not uncommon for us (overachievers) to be far too optimistic in this area.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n now it is time to summarize the hours for each plan as well as to identify a rough date of completion. fill in the blanks below to give yourself an idea about your current thinking.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
