The TRAIN Method
T is for TARGET. It’s your overall topic or focus for your train. Your target includes both the ENGINE (the title + timeline) and the caboose (the desired end result or goal.) The Engine leads your way, and the Caboose motivates results.
R is for RECORD. This is where you get all those thoughts, ideas, concerns out of the way. Any thought bubble that pops into your head involving your target has a moment to be heard! This stage is a no-judgement zone for yourself so you can freely brain dump and worry about organization later. During this phase, we identify your “train cars” (main stages of the process) and “cargo” (every little step that would go into each car or stage.)
A is for ASSEMBLE. Now we’ll start laying out your first train. We’ll put all of those pieces we identified in the “Record” phase into a place that makes sense beginning with what will likely happen first, and onward. We’ll lay out the train cars first and then put the cargo in order under each car. Now you’ll have your entire goal laid out in front of you, with every step accounted for.
I is for ITERATE. In this phase, we revisit every piece of your Train to ensure it’s clear, simplified and easy to DO. You’re like a Rail Detective on a mission to find every missing step! It’s your chance to make life easier. By adding more detail + steps right now, you won’t have to think about it later!
N is for NAVIGATE. You now have a TRAIN + complete solution that includes your project outline with the exact steps you’ll take to reach the Target. Now you’re ready to hit the rails! At this stage, the Train’s Process is fairly outlined and you can follow the steps in order.
Got it? Probably not, and that’s okay! The Train Method is like an actual train ride: it looks kinda cool from afar, but you need to get on board to fully appreciate it! It’s a highly-visual and experiential method that you will quickly become obsessed with like I did!
Here’s another way to look at it!
First, we identify where we’re going and the ideal result, which are your Engine + Caboose. Then we do a little something I like to call Trainstorming where we get out allll of the details you can think of.
Next, I will teach you how those details become the Train Cars + Cargo of your Train. Did I mention that we build our Trains with Post-It’s? Glorious. You’ll start to see your Train form as the Post-It details are arranged.
We’ll follow-it up with a sort of fact-finding mission for the missing information that’s unveiled as the Train is formed. Now, you’re ready to hit the rails with your Train as the step-by-step gameplan for accomplishing your goal. Just follow your Post-Its, and stop when you need a break. Little by little, a lot gets done!
You’ll never be alone with The Train Method. I’m not just here to teach you my process, I’m here to help you live it and take action where you have felt stuck.
Choo-chooo!
