The Goal System That Gives You Four Ways to Win

Most goal systems give you two choices. You did the thing or you didn't. You hit the goal or you blew it. No wonder so many of us quit.

I use something different. I call it EASE, and it gives you four ways to win instead of one.

E is Easy. So small you can do it on your worst day.
A is Acceptable. Not perfect, but absolutely worthwhile.
S is Stretch. Your original goal, the one that challenges you.
E is Extraordinary. What happens when everything comes together.

The real goal isn't the stretch or the extraordinary level. The real goal is to stay in the game. Consistency doesn't mean doing the same thing every day. It means keeping your relationship with the thing alive, even on the hard days when easy is the only win available.

Your assignment: pick one goal and write down all four levels. Then tomorrow, don't ask "Did I succeed?" Ask "Where am I on EASE?"
