The G.S.P.A model stands for goal, skill, practice, and action. Learning this technique will help you break down any goal into simple daily actions, increasing your chances of achieving them.
Unfortunately, most people are unaware of this model. They stop at setting their goals without creating a plan, hoping things will work out on their own.
The G.S.P.A model will assist you in creating an action plan to achieve any goal.
It's the most effective way to reach your goals without encountering roadblocks like procrastination, feeling lost, poor motivation, or laziness. Here's how to use it step by step:
Step 1: Clarify Your Outcome Goal
Ask yourself: What do I want to achieve? Write it down clearly, starting with "I want to..."
Step 2: Determine Your Behavior Goal
Ask yourself: What specific actions, if done consistently over time, would bring my outcome goal to life?
Step 3: Identify the Necessary Skill
Ask yourself: What abilities, competencies, and capacities do I need to develop to move closer to my goal?
Step 4: From Skill to Practices
Ask yourself: What specific behaviors do I need to repeat regularly to develop the skills I've identified?
Step 5: From Practices to Actions
Ask yourself: What small and simple tasks can I realistically perform every day to build these practices?
