Cascade planning starts by setting goals for the new year monthly rather than full year.
For example,
January: Start exercising February: Write a book March: …
And then splitting those monthly goals into weekly ones
Jan, week 1: Buy a membership to gym Jan, week 2: Work out 3 days a week Jan, week 3: …
And furthermore, from weekly to daily:
Jan 1st: … Jan 2nd: Research local gym offerings Jan 3rd: Purchase membership
