That's a great approach to accomplishing goals. You may also want to check out http://www.GoalsOnTrack.com, a very nicely built web app designed for tracking goals and todo lists, and has time tracking. It's clear, focused, easy to navigate, worth a try.

Barbara Sher discusses a similar method in her book “Wishcraft”, and what she found amazing was that when she asked her class to stop just dreaming and actually determine the next few concrete steps they had to take to actually achieve their dreams, they all went quiet and started to look worried.

So although reverse engineering is a great method, it can make participants become nervous because they are faced with the awesome fact that there is a finite number of steps to take to actually make their dreams a reality – which can be a scarey realisation.

Although looking at the pictures of your place in Puerto Rico, I’m sure they’d get around to embracing the idea!

Very good! That is a great way to look at it – many people will find it useful to have the starting process, which is often the hardest part, broken down into steps. It is much easier to get on the path of success when you break it down into small actions! Thanks!

@steven – ah yes, busting through the all important ‘comfort zone’ can be difficult!

@joe – thank you, Joe. Just trying to share what little I know that might be helpful to others…

@paul – your ladder analogy is fantastic! Sometimes it can feel like I take one step up the proverbial ladder to sliding back down five.

“you must actually visualize yourself as having completed the goa”

That helps in another way too. By focusing your subconscious on your desires, it will help you by noticing things you might otherwise miss. It will also help you see connections that your conscious mind might not make.

It’s not mystical new age mumbo-jumbo: your subconscious mind is a very powerful machine. You have to make the ultimate decisions because it can sometimes be as dumb as a post, but if you constantly reinforce it by imagining your goals (and sub-goals) it can help you get there.
