When you have a long list of goals, it can be difficult to determine which one to prioritize. However, University of Pennsylvania psychology professor Angela Duckworth says the most effective way to discover your"ultimate concern" or"top-level" priority in life is by organizing your goals into a hierarchy.
But your focus shouldn't be on sticking to these"to-do list" goals, says Duckworth. Instead, you must make sure that these low-level goals will serve your mid-levels goal and that your mid-level goals will serve your high-level goals. This ultimate goal reigns supreme, says the psychologist, which means that you may have to switch out one of the lower level goals if it's no longer setting you up to reach that priority."Returning again and again to this question, 'What is my top-level goal?" [and] 'What am I all about?' is a tremendously powerful exercise," says Duckworth.
Creating this mental pyramid not only helps you find your top-level goal but it also works in reverse, according to Duckworth."When I remember what my top-level goal is," says the psychologist,"it helps me make decisions all the way down the tree."
