Put First Things First To Meet And Master New Challenges.

To meet any challenge, major or minor, put first things first.

You need to ask yourself: What is truly important in what I plan to do?

Are you bogged down with a lot of detail? Simplify your approach, and stick to the essentials.

A plan that has too much detail doesn’t allow for flexibility to accommodate changes in direction or events that are beyond your control.

10 Steps To Take To Meet Your Challenges

• Define the challenge, risks and rewards
• Establish how long it will take to achieve completion
• If the project is a big one, break it down into its component parts
• Establish the time required to complete each individual step
• Determine what resources you require, in terms of materials, research, or other support
• Commit your plan to paper, or otherwise externalize it so that you have a blueprint for action
• Track your progress, noting whatever adjustments are required along the way
• Devote a certain amount of time every day to building a pattern of consistent actions
• Streamline your planning and your efforts so that you stick to the essentials required
• Be flexible to accommodate changes in direction or unexpected events
