This framing makes New Year resolutions actually actionable. Most people treat goals like theyre negotiating with themselves, but the waypoint concept forces you to put a stake in the ground. I tried something similar last year where I broke down a six-month objective into twoweek checkpoints, and not having to think about the final summit all the time made it way easier to just keep moving. The departure time as a contract line hits hard because thats where most plans collapse, waiting for the right conditions that never come.
That is exactly the way I try to look at it. In keeping with my combat theme, checkpoints along the route to your objective. Or as Ben Franklin said, "Little strokes fell great oaks."
Another great post John. Can you expand a bit on #4? I’m familiar with operator’s standards with firearms. I assume you’re suggesting a civilian analog such as rucking 25 mi with 25# in 10 hrs?
Get ready for quitters day.

Great framing. DOL.
Thanks, Rob. And for what it’s worth, I have shaved out of a canteen cup. Usually with cold water and a dull razor.
Of this, I have no doubt. I suspect we have a fair amount of overlap in our circles.
