Creating lists is a good way to explore the meaning of latent or awakened desires. In addition to helping to organize ideas, it goes a long way toward defining priorities and levels of importance, which are undoubtedly crucial steps in planning any action. What is necessary in the beginning? At the very least, think. And then, organize those thoughts. All improvement requires change, which can bring much more than essential learning and transformative experiences. For example, studying a foreign language requires a lot of changes, especially in the mental pattern, word order and sentence structure. Perhaps it is the part that requires greater adaptation and not by chance, is the stage in which the majority give up studying.

There are obvious reasons and other intrinsic reasons that prevent the detachment to this zone of comfort. As with any conscious exploration of desired benefits, lists also require some caution as they are initial actions to create habit and set the necessary change points.

Therefore, we recommend that you answer the following questions:

1) What is the purpose? Without knowing and defining the desired result will be very difficult to establish some degree of satisfaction or parameter to classify the advances.

2) What is important? With dozens or hundreds of options, you need to establish the crucial points. Based on personal values, one can define what is really important in life, at this time and so that goals are achieved, even to give meaning to each step that will be taken.

3) What is the priority? In addition to knowing what needs to be done, it is necessary to organize and establish the order of execution of the tasks that will contribute to the changes.

4) What should be avoided? As important as knowing what is necessary and desirable is to make clear what you are not willing to do, to bear, or to dedicate time. It is a psychological barrier that stalls some advances.

5) What are the benefits? Focusing on what matters, it will be easier to recognize the benefits and better assess any losses. For each choice, there are its advantages and therefore, generate losses. So, at least in the final balance, it will be easier to know what kind of advancement is being achieved.

These simple steps allow you to transform the coldness and abstract nature of desires into plausible and concrete results. Every conquest begins with the first step. The results are not always far or reach a goal. Often these results are already being achieved unconsciously, but in planning for progress, it is much easier to perceive the improvements and to accelerate the change process. Just persist!
