In the book

So write your goals as the processes you will perform, not the results you cannot guarantee — because if your goal is "make this person happy" and they are not, you will feel like a failure though you did everything right, whereas if your goal is "do the things that tend to make people happy," you have succeeded the moment you do them. Build this into a system — a repeatable process for predictably reaching the goal — and make sure the system actually serves your big-picture aim rather than some smaller one. Keep your thinking lean as you go: cut straight through the excess and aim directly at the goal rather than getting lost in the fat around it. […] Set goals that pull you. Make them specific and powerful, begin with the end in mind, and write them as processes you control rather than outcomes you can't. Build a system and prioritize to one thing. Make the system serve the big-picture goal, and narrow your aims to the single most important. Then act — now. Nothing happens until you move; build it one day at a time; and break procrastination by amplifying the cost of not acting. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
