I was watching a video of W Clement Stone recently (who I discovered through the powerful book Success Principles, by Jack Canfield), and he mentioned this “R2A2 Principle”
I love frameworks and mnemonics and wanted to share it here. R2A2 refers to 4 steps to acting on something you learn: Recognize, Relate, Assimilate, and Apply
More specifically:
- Recognize – Recognize a principle, technique or improvement that will benefit you.
- Relate – Relate the improvement to your beliefs, experience, business or life.
- Assimilate – Assimilate the improvement into your daily routine.
- Apply – Take action and make the Improvement a Habit.
It is a good reminder that knowing what to do is not enough – we must remember to do what we know.
