The first principle of planning, âsetting the table,â is about determining what you want to accomplish. It's about clarifying your goals and objectives. It is vital to have clearly defined goals and objectives if you seek productivity in life.
You will work faster and achieve more when you know where youâre going â your end game. Procrastination sets in when we are unclear about what we want to accomplish.
Brian Tracy has a 7-step formula for setting and achieving goals:
1. Decide what you want to do â one of the worst time wasters is doing something well that isnât necessary.
2. Writing your goals makes them solid and puts energy behind them because they become real.
3. Set a deadline for your goal. Deadlines keep you on your toes.
4. Painting a visual picture clarifies the path you need to follow and boosts your chances of being successful.
5. Prioritize your plan in sequence order. You can map out your plan to help you visualize the steps.
6. Take action on your plan immediately because "execution is everything."
7. Take small steps toward your goal by doing something daily that drives you in that direction.
Your thoughts align with your goals when you write them down. You become driven to execute what youâve written. You are mustering support in your fight against procrastination by activating your creativity and releasing energy to accomplish.
Plan each day, and never reach a day without knowing what you want to do. No day should be strange to you because you have a clear direction for what you will do. When you know what to expect from yourself, you will be able to meet those expectations.

Everything you need to be motivate, to learn & to self improves is all here. I actually do appreciate the reminders because otherwise this wouldnât work for me. Thank you
Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.
An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned
In todayâs world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.
The selections are on point and the summaries are excellent! I listen while I walk my pup đś and have in turn, ordered a few selections! REALLY loving the app, itâs layout, daily selections and features!
I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!
It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.
Iâm enjoying what Iâm learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, Iâve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.
The app itâs so easy to use. I use it while driving or cooking and is great. I love the fact that the chapters are short, so you can finish them quickly. Very knowledgeable.
The best app for self development.It helps to keep pace with your reading and also suggests the kind of reading material you might like.It is fun as you can switch from reading to listening and vice-versa as per your convenience .Just get started and partake of the treasure of knowledge at your fingertips .I feel lucky to have spotted the app.It has helped me become self-disciplined and much better informed.The audio track is excellent.
Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
This is outstanding best app ever and honestly whoever came up with is my app is an absolute genius kudos my gratitude definitely goes out and Iâm only on my first week free trial and Iâm certainly going to purchase this app annually. Now that I have it, I canât even imagine living without it.
