Hello Fastlaners!
I documented in My Journey Thread that I wrote down my 1/5/10 Planasy and calculated my Escape Number.
Do people usually share their Planasy and Escape Number? I'd be happy to if people are interested lol.
It also would help to keep me accountable knowing that someone else on here has seen my Planasy and Escape Number and can tell me to get off my a$$ when necessary.
Godspeed,
Thomas


(I looked it up and I saw a few people posting their Planasy. Here is mine:))

"In the next 30 days, what actions do you need take? What actions have to stop, like video gaming or eating highly refined sugar? How do you need to reorganize your day? What education and skills must you start honing to get you moving toward that one year vision?"
  • Investigate: what ideas are CENTS/Fastlane worthy

I actually created an excel sheet to calculate your escape number. If anyone wants a copy let me know and I can send you one!

(If you haven't calculated your Escape Number before, do it first with pen and paper and then you can utilize this sheet for adjustment later on.)
