How do you plan for success?

Hi eleveno, 
 
I like your approach in focusing on the goal and not necessarily the path to reach it.   It is a great way to focus on the present and find creative solutions to keep moving forward.

Hi Sonia,
 
For me it is more important to set the goals than to create the plans. There are several possible paths (plans) to reach a goal and I concluded in my experience that it is not necessary to spend too much time or energy in creating a plan.
 
I just think what it would be the next step to bring me the goal closer and go for it. When I finish this step I go for the next step and so on until I reach my goal.
 
This works wonderfully for me and it would be interesting to know how other people do.

Members,

When pursuing a goal or making a change towards healthier behavior choices, how do you plan for success?

That is, what methods and tools do you use to help you prepare for the changes you are making? For example, do you use lists, reminder bracelets, do you keep a drawer of coping tools, etc?

Please share with us your best preparation strategies and tell us about how this planning has made a difference in your behavior change experience.

Thanking you all in advance for your input,

Sonia
