I belong to a group here in NY called the NY Power Team. We basically meet once a month and exchange ways to improve our lives. Here is one of the things I got from the team:

A “Snapshot” of Your Life

• The following are the 8 basic categories of life. Feel free to expand or condense them as is appropriate for you.

• Within each category you play a role (or multiple roles). Define yourself and create an empowering identity for each of your roles.

• Within each of your identities, list one (or more) of your goals that you would like to accomplish. REMEMBER…

• Goals require multiple steps called “action” items. An action item is a single step toward a goal and is created in the RPM.

• This is NOT an RPM. You must create an RPM for each of these goals.

• Your goals may be “Project” goals which require several “sub-goals”, each of which would get its own RPM.

• Goals can have timelines of 1 month to 2 years+

• Standards are a commitment to consistency. They define HOW you are being and WHAT you are doing on an ongoing basis. It’s a goal to BE or DO something on a daily or routine basis.

• Starting an Exercise Routine, for example, is a goal. It would then shift to being a standard because it repeats itself (hopefully daily).
