The last step to take with your written-down goals is to draw up a clear plan for the year based on them and follow it. We could do that right now, but:
1) you have not yet developed the habit of planning, or if you have, it is probably not quite the right one;
2) you do not yet quite understand how to do the kind of planning I advocate throughout this book.
So at this stage we begin cultivating the habits that are useful for us, and we will look at several planning examples, including my personal plan for 2024. First you will need to set your plan aside for a while. It is fine if you have just practiced, thought about your life and sketched something in a plan, set up a couple of backlogs. But I want to stress again that you are not quite ready to start living by the strict plan I will show you in my 2024 plan without some preparation. First you will go through light practice that we will make more challenging with each step, until eventually we arrive at the very planning I live by myself.
