Your 10-year-plan will feel uncomfortable & ambiguous. That’s okay. Your long-term vision SHOULD feel big & broad, while giving you just enough direction to help inform short-term actions.

A life well-lived is a life-well planned.
5 steps to build your own “Life Map” 🧵
The inspiration for a Life Map actually came from building a business.
At Morning Brew, we implemented Traction, an operating system for long-term planning & short-term execution.
I defined my core values in a unique way.
I asked myself, “If I was writing my own epitaph, how would I want to describe myself.”
Morbid, but highly effective.
I ended up with 6 core values:
1) Does the right thing
2) Goes the extra mile
3) Lives in the present
4) Keeps his word
5) Has a childlike playfulness
6) Filled with curiosity

My version:
10-year plan: An intentional life where I feel fulfilled and at ease
3-year plan:
– Be married with 1 child on the way
– Feel challenged & fulfilled by my work
– Feel really happy about my mind and body
For this goal, my 1-year plan would include subgoals:
1) Refine my exercise plan based on goals & performance
2) Refine my diet plan based on goals & performance
3) Refine my mindfulness plan based on goals and performance
Example: “Refine my diet plan based on goals & performance”
90-day goals:
1) Spend 30 hours getting educated on food/diet & how it impacts my physical health
2) Write down what’s important to me in my relationship with food
