Think backwards, backward planning

Only the Lord knows, how often I do this. It is the only way I can keep going? Thinking backwards is also known as Backward Planning. Also with this is the notion that it is not your destination, but your journey. So for planning think backwards and enjoy your trip.

Though I have some very good articles, my articles breaks every law of journalism. I have the passion but I am self-taught and developing my skills. Nobody really wants to hear the truth. It always has to be sugar coated. I am getting better and better at being inspirtational, without being angry. I have a lot of anger inside and I have just about gotten it out. I write it the way it comes to me and you will find me getting better at delivering it. Know that you are always in my thougths.

Ralph Marston says it this way, When you're planning to travel, where do you usually begin that planning? You begin with the destination.

You cannot know what direction to go unless you know where you would like to end up. So a successful plan begins with the destination and works its way backwards to the point where you begin.

When you desire to reach a specific goal, the same kind of approach will work very well. Start with the end goal, and develop your plan backwards from there. When you're clear about the goal, you can easily figure out what would be the last step necessary to reach that goal. When you know the last step, you can determine what the step before that will be.

You can develop your plan, step by step, from the end to the beginning. When you do, instead of wondering what the best first step would be, you'll know precisely what to do first, what to do after that, and what to do after that.

However ambitious the goal may be, there is something you can do right now to get off to a solid start. Visualize the goal, work backwards step by step, and you'll know precisely how to begin. -- Ralph Marston
