Another very effective way of achieving one's goals is to imagine in detail the state in which the goal has already been achieved and then, from the existing achievement of the goal, to plan backwards until now. This variant provides a different perspective on the way to achieving the goal, as it is based on the goal already achieved. Often you discover new steps and ways to realize your goal. Furthermore, backward planning brings a further advantage. If you plan backwards from the goal you have already achieved to the present, you receive a plan that can be realized in time, because you perceive and plan time backwards in a different way. In addition, the view for the essentials is higher with backward planning and one recognizes unprofitable work steps, which one had planned with the conventional arrangement perhaps out of fear. This will sharpen your vision for what is necessary and give you a realistic picture of the time you need to master your intentions and goals. Consequently, backward planning is a very effective tool to develop a really good, well-founded and realizable target planning, which is indispensable for your success. But make sure you have enough buffer zones in place to keep your approach flexible and adaptable, because the best plan is never static and inevitably requires the implementation of free space and fine-tuning to constantly changing conditions.
