Or like what chess grand masters say: to become a great chess player, first study the endgame and then work your way backwards.

In life, consider what your desired outcome is, and then work in reverse to figure out what you need to do in order to get there.

Or, in life, do what Jeff Bezos does with the regret minimization framework: consider yourself 90 years old on your deathbed, what would you regret in life? How can you prevent yourself from feeling that regret in life?

Or, think about how you desire to feel before you die. Then structure your life in such a way in which you will die feeling happy.

Or, how do you sleep better at night? Work your way backwards. Considering that coffee and caffeine takes 12 hours to exit your bloodstream, consider what your desired bedtime is, then just work backwards.

Or with money Welton riches, consider what your endgame is. Then work your way backwards.
