is a mental model to save you from analysis paralysis while starting new projects or achieving your life goals.
You don’t need to know steps C, D, or E at the beginning. Focusing on them will cause you to overthinking/procrastinate instead of taking action.
All you need to know today is your A-B-Z: Assess where you are (A), set your direction (Z), and decide on your immediate next step (B).
Just focus on the next action. Take that action. You will figure out the rest along the way.
| Step | Meaning | Question |
|---|---|---|
| A | Your current stand | “Where am I now?” |
| B | Your next step | “What is the next step?” |
| Z | Your end goal/vision | “What is the ultimate dream state?” “What am I optimizing for?” |
