Lesson Summary
First: you did create your board, right?
This whole course is about living a 10x life—and to do that, you must think deeply and act boldly. If you haven’t already, create your board now.
As we’ve seen in several studies—writing your goals down increases your motivation and likelihood to achieve your goals.
Prioritize your goals
To prioritize your goals, go through each column and arrange each card in order of priority, with the highest priority at the top, the second-highest beneath that, etc.
If you struggle with prioritizing goals, ask yourself the following questions:
-
“Will this goal have a lasting impact on my life?”; and
-
“How long will it take me to achieve this goal?”
For example, in Adam’s “Where do I want to go” column he listed Japan, Antarctica, and space. Obviously, they’ll all have a lasting impact on his life, but since going to space will take more time, money, and effort, he moved put Japan in the top spot.
Same goes for the “What do I want to have” column. Adam moved “A bestselling book on Amazon” ahead of “*100k per month.
Bottom line: don’t sweat the details. You can always rearrange your goals later; for now, we’re going to paint with broad strokes so we don’t waste time over-analyzing.
Two more quick steps:
-
Take the top 2 cards from each column and move them to the first column, called “Top priorities in my life.”
-
Prioritize those cards like you did for the other columns, putting the highest priority card at the top.
Yay! Your Board Game of Life is done! Well, for now…
How often should you update your Board Game of Life?
Your Board Game of Life is meant to inspire you.
-
View it every day for inspiration by looking at a printed copy OR on your computer. Whatever works for you.
-
Update it every 6 months. The best way to do this is to set a reminder in your calendar six months down the road.
In the next lesson we’re going to move on to module 3 “Optimize Your Workflow” and show you an easy and effective way to track your goals―and achieve them!
