Build Your Anti-Goal List

Create your personal anti-goal list right now. Write the heading "My life is terrible when..." and list ten specific conditions.

Review this list before making major decisions. Any choice that moves you toward an item on your anti-goal list deserves serious scrutiny, no matter how attractive it looks from other angles. A high-paying job that guarantees burnout violates your anti-goal. Stick to the list, and better choices start to compound.
