Now let's see how the 3 + 6 technique works. It has two parts. The first part requires three steps, the second six steps. By moving consistently, you can change your lifestyle and thoughts to become better.

The first step of the 3 + 6 technique: how to start changing your life?
The first step is to complete three tasks:

Set SMART goals.
Create a hierarchy of goals.
Make a plan to achieve each goal.

It seems difficult, but in reality everything is simple. Follow the instructions below.

1. Set SMART goals

Return to the table above and formulate all the goals described in it using SMART technology. It is an abbreviation that means:

Specific: concreteness and clarity.
Measurable: measurable.
Attainable: attainability.
Relevant: the importance, the truth of the goal.

The goal set using SMART technology should be achievable (real), specific and clear (what and when you want to get), measurable (that is, you can calculate whether you have achieved the goal or not), important.

It is best to consider goals with examples:

By the end of 2020, save money for a down payment, and for the same period find a part-time job (20 thousand rubles per month) to pay for the mortgage. January-February 2021 find an apartment, a bank with the most favorable conditions. To buy an apartment.

2. We create a hierarchy of goals
You will chase two hares, you will not catch a single one. It's the same with goals. It is important to consistently go from one goal to another.

Make a list of the order in which you want to achieve your goals. For example, first take courses in web design, then - find a job with an income of 60 thousand rubles. a month, then - to accumulate an initial mortgage payment of 500 thousand rubles, then - to buy an apartment.

You need to be clear about how you want to move in life.

3. We draw up a plan for the implementation of each goal
The essence of the plan is to determine what you need to get, know or do to achieve the goal. It is better to do it in the form of a table, for example:

goal

What needs to be done to achieve the goal

Earn from 60 thousand rubles. month

In the first step, we identified a list of important goals that can help you become better at achieving them. Drew up a hierarchy of goals and an action plan for each. In the second step, you will learn the skills that will help you achieve what you want.

1. Learn to plan every day and follow the plan
In order to have time for everything and not forget anything, it is important to plan every day and strictly follow the plan. Tips to help you plan correctly:

Leave free time in which you can enter unexpected tasks.
Capture plans on paper or on your smartphone. Do not rely on memory - it can fail.

2. Turn off emotions and learn to act rationally
If you decide to change your life for the better, you will surely face difficulties. All people have problems. The correct response to difficulties is to analyze the problem and find a solution. You shouldn't react emotionally, it's pointless to blame yourself, or focus on failure.

In all difficult situations, think and make informed decisions. Never decide on emotions.

3. If something doesn't work out, redouble your efforts. If it doesn't work again, double it again

It's important to make sure that by doubling your efforts, you are putting them in the right direction.

4. Track progress for each goal. It will motivate you.
It's always hard to start. Whether it's a new project or a decision to change your whole life for the better. You have a plan. You stick to it and step forward confidently. But you are human. Your powers are not endless. Therefore, you need energy and recharge, motivation.

Record all your successes in a special notebook. Review it periodically to see progress.

5. Do not expect quick results, but do not postpone everything for later.
