Jonathan Fields: 我开发了一个名为“成功脚手架”的框架,它基于七个以P开头的关键要素(Picture, Purpose, Plan, Possibility, People, Practices, Pledge),帮助人们实现具有变革意义的目标。这个框架源于我对目标实现、社会心理学、卓越和成功的深入研究,并经过多年的实践和改进。它强调了制定清晰的目标愿景、明确目标的深层意义、制定可行的计划、培养实现目标的信念、建立支持系统、养成良好的习惯以及做出承诺的重要性。 在选择目标时,建议反思你的“美好生活”三大方面:活力、联系和贡献,选择一个能够同时影响这三个方面,并且在舒适区之外,同时又感觉可以实现的目标。这个目标应该是有意义的、大胆的,并且能够对你的生活产生积极的影响。 在制定计划时,建议参考现有的计划,并根据自身情况进行调整。计划应该包含具体的行动步骤、可衡量的里程碑以及应对潜在挑战的策略。同时,要将大目标分解成小的、可管理的里程碑,并优先处理那些能够推动目标实现的关键里程碑。 在培养信念方面,要寻找证据来证明目标的可实现性,例如其他人的成功案例、专家意见以及数据支持。同时,要相信自己能够实现目标,并通过行动来验证自己的能力。 在建立支持系统方面,建议寻找六种不同类型的支持者:共同奋斗者、支持者、监督者、导师、社群和挑战者。这些支持者能够提供不同的帮助,例如鼓励、监督、指导和挑战。 在养成良好习惯方面,建议进行冥想、呼吸练习和运动等练习,以增强身心健康,提高专注力和韧性。 最后,要做出承诺,并将其记录下来,以增强你的决心和毅力。可以通过写作、录音或录像等方式记录你的承诺,并将其分享给他人,以获得额外的支持和鼓励。

Deep Dive

Key Insights

What is the 'Success Scaffolding' framework and why was it developed?

The 'Success Scaffolding' framework is a structured approach to achieving significant goals by providing the necessary support and structure. It was developed by Jonathan Fields after repeatedly setting ambitious goals that fizzled out due to a lack of proper support and structure. The framework incorporates seven key elements (the 7 P's) to help individuals envision, plan, and achieve transformative life changes.

What are the three 'good life buckets' mentioned in the podcast?

The three 'good life buckets' are vitality, connection, and contribution. These buckets represent key areas of life that, when filled, lead to a fulfilling and meaningful existence. Reflecting on these buckets helps individuals identify goals that align with their deepest desires and values.

What is the difference between 'clear as day' goals and 'along the way' goals?

'Clear as day' goals are those where you have a precise, detailed vision of success from the start, such as completing a 10K race or knitting a specific sweater. 'Along the way' goals, on the other hand, are more ambiguous initially, with details emerging as you take action, like writing a novel. The distinction helps in tailoring the planning process to the nature of the goal.

Why is it important to ask 'why' multiple times when setting a goal?

Asking 'why' multiple times helps uncover the deeper, more meaningful purpose behind a goal. This deeper understanding provides the motivation needed to persevere when challenges arise. For example, completing a 10K might initially seem about confidence, but deeper questioning reveals it's about reclaiming health to be present for loved ones.

What are the six roles of support people in achieving goals?

The six roles of support people are co-strivers (those working on similar goals), champions (cheerleaders who encourage you), accountants (those who hold you accountable), mentors (experienced individuals who guide you), community (a group that provides a sense of belonging), and challengers (those who push you to refine and improve your approach).

What are the three key practices recommended to support goal achievement?

The three key practices are meditation, breathing exercises, and movement. Meditation helps cultivate mindfulness and resilience, breathing exercises regulate the nervous system, and movement enhances physical and psychological well-being. These practices support focus, calm, and energy during challenging goal pursuits.

What is the purpose of making a 'pledge' in the Success Scaffolding framework?

A pledge is a tangible commitment to your goal, often written or recorded, that reinforces your dedication. It leverages the consistency principle, where individuals strive to act in alignment with their prior commitments. Sharing the pledge with supportive people can further strengthen accountability and motivation.
