Intention, Expectation, Action, Implication
For important things, the kind that affect my near future, i usually break them down into these four parts:
Intention –> What i want. What is my intention, hope, goal, and purpose in doing this?
Expectation –> Based on that intention, what outcome do I hope will be realized after i take this action?
Action –> The activity or things i do to pursue that intention, in hopes of reaching my expectation
Implication –> The result of my action. What is the effect? Who is affected by it? And does it align with my original intention and expectation?
