6. The Bay method

7. The 1-2-3 pyramid  The basis of the method is the 1-2-3 system for setting goals  Start off by setting one big, overarching goal that you aim to achieve  Break this goal down into two smaller goals  Further break these down into three small goals  Progress bar

8. Explanation: 1  Your one big goal should be challenging and take time to complete  Set this goal first  All your other goals build up to this goal  Think about what you really want to achieve and make sure your goal supports that

9. Explanation: 2  Your two smaller goals break down your big goal into smaller, more manageable pieces  These goals should take less time to achieve and be stepping stones to your main goal  It is important to make sure that these goals support your main goal and will help you on your way to achieving it

10. Explanation: 3  The 3 small goals make up the base of the pyramid  They are the foundations the pyramid is built on  They are more about the day-to-day ‘how’ of achieving your bigger goals  They can be routines, behaviours, or processes that will set you up to reach your bigger goals  Think about what behaviours or routines would help you work towards your bigger goals

11. Explanation: progress bar  You can use these bars to help measure your progress visually  As you progress towards reaching each goal, colour in part of the progress bar  Each level of the pyramid has a progress bar at the bottom

12. Example: Running a marathon

13. A final note  Your 1-2-3 pyramid takes care of your goals, including some ongoing behaviours that will help you achieve them  It doesn’t cover everything though!  To support your pyramids, also make daily to-do lists  A daily to-do list will help you organise your day-to-day life as well as help you work towards your pyramid goals

14. Now you try!  Try setting yourself goals using the Bay Method  Use the example to help you  You can use multiple pyramids to set yourself more than one big goal
