What’s “Three Levels?”
I’ve been setting up myself goals – both private and professional – however, the goal isn’t “real” until it’s said aloud, or even better, written down. Thus the point of three levels – I set myself a goal, and break it down into three steps which are required to achieve my final goal. Each level is more difficult than preceding, and I will prize myself for achieving ever step.
The list here is live and not definitive, it will change as my expectations and/or needs change.
On one hand, it will allow me to keep the track of my progress, on the other (I hope to) motivate me even more, since it’s all public.
