Mercedes: This section is adapted from my previous book, Simple Strength.

Choose a goal that matters. This is your outcome goal, so make sure it is achievable. Be realistic. Overall, goals should be meaningful, and should inspire you each day. Here are some examples:

•Climb at the V6 grade in 12 months.

•Climb El Capitan in the fall.

•Hike the Pacific Crest Trail next year.

•Do a muscle-up.

Break each goal down into its most basic parts. Climbing at V6 requires better recovery, improved technique, an optimal strength-tobody-weight ratio, power, grip strength, mental training, and so on. With the parts identified, move on to step 3 from the earlier Creating Habits section.

Use the 1 percent better rule. Choose process goals that will help you become 1 percent better each day to reach your end goal. For example, right now I lack recovery methods and training structure. But looking at my calendar, I see that I can easily train at the gym for two hours twice a week and climb outside on the weekends. I can build my recovery methods (protein shakes, eating five servings of vegetables, etc.) into what I eat and into my sleep ritual each day.
