OPS Framework for Achieving Goals

🎯 1. Write down your Ideal & Perfect destination

Define with vivid, sensory-rich detail.

  • πŸ”­ Where exactly do you want to end up?
  • 🧭 What does success look, feel, and sound like?
  • The Nightmare version of future * If you continue your current habits, mindset, and worldview...
  • Where will you really end up? Think of the worst outcomes and write down them in a vivid way.

🚧 2. Focus on Habits & Beliefs instead of Goals

  • Goals are just the byproduct of your habbits and beliefs

    • πŸš€ Positive habits pull you toward your desired future.
    • πŸ’£ Negative habits pull you into your nightmare future.

Write down all the bad habbits and new good habbits that your want to form under the different destinations.

🧠 3. Core OPS Levers

πŸ… FOCUS:

"How will I maintain focus at an animal level?"

  • Use a Vision Board which is a kind of mood board with the theme of your dream life that you wish to have
  • πŸ”₯ print them out set as desktop paper, or put them on a place that you can see everyday
  • Create focus anchors: symbols, music, objects that snap you back on track.

πŸ‘‘ AUTHORITY:

"How can I borrow belief?"

  • Follow those you admire β€” absorb their certainty.
  • Create a Future Self Identity:

Get social proof: what's you are doing is good, aloud and powerful


🧬 TRIBE:

"Who’s like you ?"

  • Align with people on the same path.
  • Surround yourself with goal-congruent social proof.

β€œYou become the average of the five people you spend time with.”


❀️ EMOTION:

Imagine your older self, what you look like, what you want to talk to that person, are you goind to say sorry ? or are you going to tell that everything's fine ?

What the future you want to tell you ? thank you for your efforts ?

  • Create emotional anchors: music, stories, scents that remind you why you started.

🧱 4. How to integrate new Habits into your life

πŸ”Ή Start Small:

  • 2-minute rule: start with a version so small it’s impossible to fail.

πŸ”Ή Focus:

  • β€œI can’t ignore this.”
  • Build focus triggers (timer, location, music).

πŸ”Ή Emotion:

  • Tie action to identity and legacy.

    • Ask: β€œHow will this shape who I become?”

πŸ”Ή Agitation:

  • Anticipate future resistance:

    • interrupt negative thinkings , or trying to predict something when you are on your way of your destination.

πŸ”Ή Repetition:

  • πŸ“… Stack your habits into routines (habit stacking) with Notion or other tools
  • Track small wins

🧠 5. Dopamine Map

Create a new version of how you can gain short hapiness, make your new toolbox

βœ… Present Dopamine:

  • List things that currently make you feel good, and put them as good or bad habbit with scores 0 - 5

    • πŸ›‘ Netflix, junk food, social media, sports ?

πŸ”„ Rewire to Future Dopamine:

  • What do you want to get dopamine from? be creative on this part, you don't have to avoid all the bad habbit but you can replace them with good ones that can have similar effets

    • 🧠 Learning a new skill
    • 🀝 talk to friends
