Means-end analysis
Using a means-end approach basically means looking at a target, which is the starting point, and figuring out the best way to get from point A to point B by breaking down the list of issues to make them more feasible on a daily basis.
Pinpoint the desired result and describe it in a few lines.
Before taking any actions, add some pre-conditions with a short description that will support you attain the final outcome.
Because any situation has two sides, positive and negative, take into consideration the challenges that may occur while trying to shift from the current situation to the target one. Finally yet importantly, shortly explain your current status.
