I find that one of the best ways to reverse engineer your goals is to write a letter to yourself about your future year from the perspective that it’s already happened. In this case, you would write a letter to yourself as if it’s December 2023. 

This exercise helps you get really clear on your goals, obstacles that your brain presents, and strategies for working through those roadblocks. It also helps you hone in on what’s important and create certain milestones that help you measure your progress throughout the year. 

In this episode, I share examples of how this process works for different categories of goals, such as advancing in your career, improving your time management skills, and incorporating more movement into your routine. We’ll be going deeper on this topic at a free workshop coming up on December 17th. If you’re interested in exploring this framework, I hope to see you there!
