"You have to decide what parts of your life you can control," he says. "Stop where you are on your trail and say, 'I'm going to get my compass out and find out what I need to do.'"
He suggests that people write down the six things in their lives that they feel are the most important things they'd like to achieve. Ben Franklin did it at age 32. "He wrote down things like being a better father, being a better husband, being financially independent, being stimulated intellectually and remaining even-tempered - he wasn't good at that."
Eliot says you can first make a list of 12 things, then cut it down to six and set your priorities. "Don't give yourself impossible things, but things that will affect your identity, control and self-worth."“你必须确定你能控制自己生活中的哪些部分，”他说：“停下你的脚步，对自己说，‘我要把指南针拿出来，弄明白自己需要什么。’”
他建议人们写下他们觉得自己生活中最重要的、最想做成的6件事。本•富兰克林在32岁时就是这样做的。“他写下了他想要做的事情，诸如要做一个更慈爱的父亲、更体贴的丈夫、经济上独立、思维上活跃，而且还要保持性情平和──这一点他也做得不好。”
埃利奥特说，你可以先列出12件事，然后压缩到6件，要确定轻重缓急。“别让自己去做不可能做到的事。要做那些会影响你的个性、控制能力和自我价值的事情。”
