  1. What your plan is asking of you

    Look at the decisions and practical conditions hidden inside an ordinary plan, then choose one condition to improve.

  2. What happens just before?

    Observe what comes before and after a familiar action, and distinguish what happened from your explanation of it.

  3. A start worth repeating

    Choose a manageable first action that addresses the actual difficulty and still serves a worthwhile purpose.

  4. An occasion that actually fits

    Match a small action with an occasion that supplies the right timing, setting and practical opportunity.

  5. Would you want to do it again?

    Examine the experience of an action and make useful adjustments without demanding pleasure or enthusiasm on every occasion.

  6. The next opportunity

    Respond to a missed attempt by choosing a feasible return, a practical revision or an appropriate pause.

  7. Keep the purpose in view

    Combine the course's practical checks to decide which routine to keep, adjust or leave behind.
