IN ORDER TO GET WHAT YOU WANT, ONE NEEDS ALL THE STEPS
Life doesn't work like the professor writing on the blackboard a bunch of equations leading to the solution of a previously unsolved mathematical problem, where he, right before the desired solution write in "a miracle occurs"...
In one way or another to get somewhere you will need all the steps - and you'll need the right steps. No magical giant leaps. And the wrong steps won't get you what you want.
At some point, you'll have to make a decision on what the next step is from where you have arrived and if that is not well-thought out, you will have a good chance of not arriving you want (and/or as fast as you want). If you think through the whole path (which is like a chain of cause and effect), then you will be very likely to succeed.
I did this particular piece at this time because I needed to work out exactly why it was wise to do daily and weekly planning, so I could set up an exact procedure that would work for me - so that I would actually stop blowing it off.
