Never Try Use Tell

Hunters don’t hunt abstractions.

       

Don’t climb mountains till you have done the hills first.

       

Picture yourself doing the things you are planning.

       

What cues will you be watching for?

       

Concretize.  Use words that say what you would see, hear, or handle.

       

What will happen as you start to carry out your plan?

       

If you can't see your plan, maybe you don't have one.

       

Who is going to help you?  What will they get out of it?

       
The only stupid question is the one you didn't ask.        

If not now, when?

       

What will you need to watch to know how well the plan is working?

       

If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well enough to meet your goal.

       
If you don't have a plan, you don't have a goal.        

Well begun is half-done.

       

The devil is in the details.

       
Yard by yard, it's hard; inch by inch, it's a cinch.        

Enthusiasm is no substitute for planning.

       
Hunters act on cues.  If you want to guide the hunt you have to set the cues.        
Mark this on 4 weekends, with different marks.  Notice changes.
