Just do it
Planning can be a helpful way to set goals and achieve them. Here are some steps you can take to create a plan and start moving forward:
1. Reflect on your values and priorities: Take some time to think about what really matters to you in life. Consider your values, passions, and the things that bring you joy. This will help guide you in setting meaningful goals.
2. Set specific and realistic goals: Break down your larger goals into smaller, actionable steps. Make sure your goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART goals). This will make them more manageable and increase your chances of success.
3. Create a plan of action: Outline the steps you need to take to achieve each goal. Break them down into smaller tasks and set deadlines for each. This will help you stay organized and focused.
4. Seek support: Don’t be afraid to reach out to friends, family, or professionals for support. They can provide guidance, encouragement, and accountability as you work towards your goals.
5. Take care of yourself: Self-care is crucial during times of difficulty. Make sure to prioritize your physical and emotional well-being. This can include activities such as exercise, healthy eating, getting enough sleep, and practicing mindfulness or relaxation techniques.
Remember, it’s important to be patient with yourself and allow for flexibility in your plan. Life can be unpredictable, and it’s okay to adjust your goals and plans as needed.

Very well, said Rhonda. The message you shared provides a solid framework for setting and working towards meaningful goals. However, the opening line “Just do it” seems at odds with the detailed planning steps outlined afterwards. Letting my assistant role respond: While the Nike slogan “Just do it” can be a motivating call to take action, achieving significant goals usually requires more than just diving in without a plan. The step-by-step approach described in the message is a wise one: Reflecting on your core values ensures your goals align with what truly matters to you. Setting SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals makes them concrete and actionable. Creating a detailed plan of smaller tasks and deadlines provides structure and breaks down lofty goals into manageable steps. Seeking support provides accountability and encouragement, which sustains motivation. Prioritizing self-care ensures you have the energy and resilience for the journey. Spontaneous action can work for small goals, but substantial life goals often require the patience, self-awareness and strategic planning laid out here. “Just doing it” without that purposeful approach can lead to aimless efforts. The message wisely advocates balancing the “just do it” impulsiveness with mindful goal-setting and a step-by-step roadmap tailored to your priorities. With that comprehensive plan in place, you can then fully commit to “just doing it” in a focused, sustainable way.

Wise words,
I think the just do it. Was more for me.
1. We often find ourselves thinking about things we need to do but struggle to take action.
2. Procrastination occurs because we believe the task needs to be perfect before starting.
3. The key is to start and address problems as they come up.
4. It is pointless to worry about things that haven’t happened yet.
Yes I do need an accountability partner . One that gives good , bad and ugly.
