    When we assess our lives

    our fulfillment,

    our effectiveness,what's working,

    what's notworking-- how far ahead do we look?How far ahead shouldwe look?

    Is that time horizon a good fit for the issues under

    consideration?

    And what issues are most relevant to us in a given time horizon?The 10 time horizons above are the ones that I find most useful.

    They're each sufficiently distinct to provide

    a different perspective and raise a new set of issues,

    but they flow continuously from this immediate moment to my

    very last breath.That's not to say that I have a clear plan for each horizon--

    hardly.

    (I'm a searcher, not a planner.)

    But when looking ahead it's helpful to realize that I've moved from one horizon into

    the next.

    It prompts me to ask:

    Am I inthe righttimeframe?

    ShouldItake a step back--or jumpevenfurther ahead?

    Shouldmy approach change?

    Am Istillaskingthe rightquestions?

    Arethesame issues inplay?

    I chose these specific horizons deliberately: Once I look beyond "Today" my next natural horizon is "This

    Week," and once I look past Friday the next signpost is a month-and-a-half out.

    And the "18 Month" horizon fits with Peter Drucker's beliefthat clear and specific

    plans can't cover any more time than that. You might choose a different set ofhorizons--perhaps "This Month" makes more sense to you than "6 Weeks." Or

    perhaps 10 horizons is too many, and it's more useful to think in broader

    strokes. For example:

  • 8/6/2019 8 Self Development Action Plan

    6/14

    The precise number and scope of the horizons is up to you--choose the ones

    that best meet your needs.

    But my larger point is that sometimes we're looking too far ahead when focusing

    closer in would be more useful,

    and sometimes we're staring down at our shoes when we really should lift our

    gaze.
