Do you ever get frustrated with yourself because you keep making a plan… and then having to start over?
It’s easy to assume you need more motivation, more willpower, or more discipline.
But sometimes the problem isn’t you.
Sometimes the plan is simply too big for the life you’re actually living.
That’s why I love using a 0–10 confidence ruler. Before you commit to a goal, ask yourself: “How confident am I that I can actually follow through with this?”
If your answer is low, don’t beat yourself up.
Resize the plan.
Because a smaller action you can repeat will take you much further than a perfect plan you keep abandoning.
Small and done beats perfect and abandoned.
I put my free one-page Confidence Ruler worksheet in my Stan Store if you want to try it for yourself.
What’s one goal you could make smaller and more doable this week?
