This method categorizes objectives into "far," "near," and "now" goals, providing a structured timeline that spans from immediate actions to long-term visions, such as career peaks or retirement plans.

With a clear vision in place, you anchor yourself to a defined purpose, empowering you to navigate challenges with resilience and determination, and ultimately manifesting the life you aspire to lead.
