“I want to get better.”

We hear this phrase often. Maybe we think it, too. Maybe we say it.

But what do we mean, specifically?

When we float the idea of wanting to get better, it has no efficacy on its own.

We need to be specific. We need a plan if we’re truly invested in leveling up in a certain area.

“I want to improve in _______, so I’m going to start by a, b, c...”

Without committing to specifics, we have little foundation from which to leap. Like trying to jump while treading water... we’d just kick our legs with little result.
