Heather, the best ideas are this simple and so, so valuable. I have started doing this in the area of relaxation, as in, "I don't want to be tethered to my computer. I want to relax at night." So at 8 PM, I move my laptop back into my office and enjoy some streaming picks with my husband, and I'm not looking down at a screen on my lap. Simplicity at its best.
I never liked talking to my boss's back as he typed away on his computer, so I decided I would not do it to my staff. I went to the office early enough (sometimes that was really early) so I could deal with urgent emails, etc, before folks started dropping by my office at 8:30. They were my priority before noon and I was ready to look them in the eye. No talking to backs in my office.
Love this. It’s funny how we know how to set goals naturally as you mentioned— taking out the garbage— but in life it might not be so easy. Having self awareness is a bonus. I like setting small goals. The biggies can be overwhelming. Thx for sharing these wonderful tips.
I really like and try to adhere to the concept. Abstract thoughts about positive actions come so easily but are typically ineffective. Throwing in three concrete components is a little harder but so much more likely to have positive results. I like it!

I didn't know it had a name! Thanks, Heather.

James Clear - one of my very favorite authors. This formula seems to put more weight on our intentions. Luv it!
My goal = My Behavior at Location at Time, Ongoing. Repeat.
A very succinct formula. Thanks for the concrete examples, too! Cool!
