Mindset
Define one step for each day, so tiny, that you know you will carry it out. Break the project down into daily bites of work. Then take action every day.
Know in every moment what needs to be done to move you toward our goal.
Always ask this before you do a task: Does doing this get me closer to creating what I want to create?
Only plan items you can execute! Make your plans achievable. Less might be better. When you make plans you cannot achieve your motivation will be killed!

29th of April 2018 Recap Of Week Nine
Will be updated next week.
This week I missed quite a few items from my planned list.
One of the reasons is that I did not work with this list during the week. It is not the first time I catch myself making plans and then not following through.
I noticed that when a goal is not concise enough, the chances are good, I will not do it.
For example:
In the above list I have the goal Make starter based on times app. This item is too vague. It is not a step I can do in 20 minutes. If I want to have better results, then I have to make the steps more actionable.
The coming week I will take more time to plan and make the plan more actionable. I will formulate clear, concise steps which are actionable.
