2.4Designa plan.

设计计划

a. Go back before you go forward.Replay the story of where you have been (or what you have done) that led up towhere you are now, and then visualize what you and others must do in the futureso you will reach your goals.

b. Think about your problem as a set of outcomes produced by a machine.Practice higher-level thinkingby looking down on your machine and thinking about how it can be changed toproduce better outcomes.

c. Remember that there are typically many pathsto achieving your goals. You only need to find one that works.

d. Think of your plan as being like a moviescript in that you visualize who will do what through time. Sketch out the planbroadly at first (e.g., “hire great people”) and then refine it. You should gofrom the big picture and drill down to specific tasks and estimated time lines(e.g., “In the next two weeks, choose the headhunters who will find those greatpeople”). The real-world issues of costs, time, and personnel will undoubtedlysurface as you do this, and that will lead you to further refine your designuntil all the gears in the machine are meshing smoothly.

e. Write down your plan for everyone to see andto measure your progress against. This includes all the granular details aboutwho needs to do what tasks and when. The tasks, the narrative, and the goalsare different, so don’t mix them up. Remember, the tasks are what connect thenarrative to your goals.

f. Recognize that it doesn’t take a lot of timeto design a good plan. A plan can be sketched out and refined in just hours orspread out over days or weeks. But the process is essential because itdetermines what you will have to do to be effective. Too many people make themistake of spending virtually no time on designing because they are preoccupiedwith execution. Remember: Designing precedes doing!

译文：

A．出发之前先等等。回放你到达的地方（或你曾经到达的）这样会提醒你现在的位置，然后你可以相像你要达成目标你和他人必须为将来做什么。

B．把你的问题想象成一个机器产生的结果。训练从更高的维度从上而下的思考你的机器，并思考如何改进才能产生更好的成果。

C．记住通常有很多办法实现你的目标。你只需找一个能起作用的就行。

D．试想你的计划就像一个电影脚本-你可以设想谁将在什么时间做什么。大致规划下这个计划（例如“雇佣伟大的人”）然后重新修订他。你应该从大致的图纸向下分解到特定的任务，估计时间线（例如，“接下来的两周，选择猎头帮我发现那些伟大的人”）。真实世界的问题-成本，时间，个人意愿毫无疑问的会出现，而那些会引导你进一步完善你的设计直至所有的细节都完美切合。

E．写下你的计划给所有人并让他们评估你的进程。包括所有的细节与局部。任务，描述，目标都是不同的，不要混淆。记住任务是叙述和链接目标的。

F．必须记住设计一个好的计划不会花大把时间。一个计划花几小时或几天或数周时间就能大致描绘并完善。而过程则是关键因为他决定你做什么是搞笑的。太多人总是把时间花在执行而不是计划而犯错。记住：在行动之前先设计。

读后感：

比如2019年我要实现我的个人目标：帮助100个战友，或者链接100个战友。

那么现在我的身份是142班班长，班里现有74人，除了本班战友，我还要链接外班的26人，那么这26人如何找，在演讲群还是日更写作群，还是新的班级里去链接。从现在起每天链接1人，每周至少链接5人，那么截至2019年5月前就能完成任务了，按这个时间点来倒排时间顺序，并设置时间点和检查节点，阶段完成任务。请人考核，监督自己。链接他人的标准是：采访对方，并邀请对方在本班演讲和分享。
