I’m thinking of something slightly different. Not Scalpel or Sink. But a long-term project approach. Call it the ‘Mountain’ approach. Based on the idea that a mountain has a wide base and then narrows, as one climbs, to eventually reach a narrowly focused point.
As a real-life example, last year I ran Alchemist, Quantum Limitless, and Mind’s Eye for 10.5 months, so that this year, I could create a single custom that contained all three of those cores. That was always the intention.
This year, I’m running two customs, but possibly next year, I could create a single custom that contains the 3 to 5 most important cores from these two customs. (I’m not actually planning to do that. But it’s a possible example.)
In the above example, the strategy was not focused on my whole life, but it was focused on a specific long-range goal. (There were actually at least 4 or 5 other life areas that were waiting patiently in the background while I worked on this.)
Got it. This answers my question.
I think that my chosen timeframe for goals was about 2 to 5 years. It was not that I had a calendar fixation. It was that the area that I wanted to work on needed a lot of work.
I’m only now beginning–very slowly–to warm up to Ultima-focused approaches.
I wonder if the happier you are with your overall life is the more appealing that short-term goals and approaches will be.
