Geoff's WOOP Matrix

The four steps of this technique are

  • Wish. Decide which goal you want to achieve.

  • Outcome. Imagine what it would feel like to achieve the goal.

  • Obstacle. Imagine the obstacles that might prevent you from achieving goal.

  • Plan. Create if-then plans. e.g. If you meet obstacle A then do behavior B.
