Thinking backwards to be successful

Your boss just messaged you saying she wants to talk tomorrow morning about the big idea you pitched at the weekly meeting.

Great. Right?

If you’re like most people, your brain will start firing on all cylinders at this point, formulating a plan of what you’re going to say, what materials or supporting research you can bring, and how you’re going to present yourself in the best, more professional way possible.

But, how should you make this plan?

Should you start with the first step and work towards your meeting? Or should you think backwards from the result and find where your future and present meet up?
