This is my own version of a flowchart, which I designed while preparing to run my very first workshops in 1975. (It was one of the most popular parts of my first book, Wishcraft: How to Get What You Really Want, which is still selling well after 25 years, partly because of this flowchart. If you want a more detailed diagram, complete with little circles and lines, you can find the original Backward Planning Flowchart in that book.)
